So happy to see Ni No Kuni doing so well :D

Ezz20134101d ago

look at the pre orders for god of war ascension too

NewMonday4101d ago

It will be a great success if NiNoKuni dose over 1 million in the west, that is enough to prove a good core JRPG has a market.

Knight_Crawler4101d ago

Why is Ni No Kuni on the article picture when Bioshock is number 1?

Blastoise4101d ago

Because it's impressive to see a game like Ni No Kuni in the charts.

We all knew Bioshock & GTA V were gonna be huge sellers, but these days a new IP JRPG could have easily bombed

Godchild10204100d ago (Edited 4100d ago )

It could also be because it a great game and that it came out the week of these preorder charts.

DA_SHREDDER4101d ago

I hope aliens sells well on the ps3

EddieNX 4101d ago

no.8 - 129,686 people determined not to get the definitive wiiu version with authentic Aliens Motion tracker.

BanBrother4101d ago

Yes, but you'd be lucky to find a MP game for the Wii U. That is a big selling point when a game releases on the PS3, 360 and Wii U. At least the population will be strong on the two 'main' consoles.

I do agree that tne Wii U version is the best version to get IMO, as I'd love the motion tracker on the pad. I'll wait and see anyway. As much of a fan as I am of Aliens, I cannot justify this over some of the other games coming out, especially since none of the footage has really been suprising.

insomnium24101d ago

You seem hurt over that.

Nice numbers for NiNoKuni indeed. I have my pre-order in but that doesn't effect those numbers.

MysticStrummer4101d ago

Does playing the definitive WiiU version require buying a WiiU? Yes? Oh well that explains it.

Hicken4101d ago

Try not to be such a transparently blind fanboy, will you?

I'm shocked Gears isn't in the top 10 for the US

EvilFluff914101d ago

Finally! Some variety, looks like people are getting bored of Military Shooters, these are the type of games that deserve our attention and money. :)

lovegames7184101d ago

in response to kingofwiiu.....

Yeah like your def. version of bo at 1080p native and no elite service lol
Your definitive batman tht looks and performs worse thn currrent gen system
And other multiplat offerings missing key components on wiiu but you do have trine 2 hahaha

After reading the negatives of colonial marines such as terrible character animations , shiny albeit beautiful backgrounds that look fake , aliens tht are bullet sponges and terrible dialogue i might pass because it looks like its going to be hyped up mediocrity like duke nukem was.

As for Gow lol we knew tht beast would be there and based off the tech analysis of the sp demo this game is even more beautiful thn gow3 .

Im happy ni no kuni is up there especially since its a great jrpg (im currently in desert) and i love this game.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Friendlygamer12m ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B2h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21832h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh2h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia2h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins2h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal1h ago

The first game was the best imo.
