sengoku3952d ago (Edited 3952d ago )

They deserve it.
the game is absolutely stunning, it just annihilates anything that went before it.
Great job Naughty Dog and Sony

abzdine3952d ago

PS3 on fire! Thank you Sony for giving gamers what they deserve.

Umm anybody notice ps3 now ahead of 360 in global sales...surprised I hear no one talking about that

xHeavYx3952d ago

PS3 has outsold the 360 worldwide for a long time now

Minato-Namikaze3952d ago

Cause its been that way for a couple months now, VG is just now catching up.

dedicatedtogamers3952d ago

When PS3 pulls ahead, the goalposts move.

Total number of exclusives was once touted, but then PS3 caught up and the goalpost moved.

Then it was the Metacritic score of those exclusives. Again, PS3 began to dominate here and the goalpost moved.

Then for the longest time it was total sales. Now that PS3 caught up here, too, the goalpost will change to something else (like total number of online accounts, or sales in the US, or something like that).

abzdine3952d ago

cause it's no surprise for anyone anymore :)
360 and PS3 both great consoles, but PS3 offers more value for the money.

fuzzyLogix3952d ago

It's largely pulled ahead due to the PS3 Slim MKI and MKII. PS3 Phat is an awful machine, really regret buying one. I wonder how many other people agree and replaced their Phat with a Slim?

RiPPn3952d ago

@fuzzyLogix: I like my phat, it is backward compatible, has 4 usb ports, and a memory card reader, it's been a reliable machine!

GameBanger3952d ago

Sofware is more important thant console sales anyways.. 360 is winning in that department overall.

Wow, is that really only 2 days of sales for a new IP? Absolutely love that game.

dedicatedtogamers3952d ago

WOW! I'm actually very surprised that TLoU is selling so well.

It certainly deserves it, but...yeah, I'm just surprised.

Great sales by naughty dog and to Sony being up 21% on this week. So crazy for such an old console!

abzdine3952d ago (Edited 3952d ago )

now i understand when Sony were saying that PS3 will live 10 years. It's entering its 7th year and it's performing stronger than ever and PS4 is around the corner!!! This is great for PlayStation financials it will bring us more games cause Sony will invest more and more!

shivvy243952d ago

Wow the vita ! Nice job ND gonna pick up the game soon

solidworm3952d ago

Get used to these figures, I see the next gen replicating this gap from the off. Well done ND. TLOU is a masterpiece and possibly the greatest campaign ive ever had the honor to play.

mushroomwig3952d ago

That's what they said about the 3DS.

Theyellowflash303952d ago

Wii U is far from dead, Nintendo has a truck ton of games coming out for the Wii U starting in August and through the holiday season.

hollabox3952d ago (Edited 3952d ago )

Yeah Disney has allot of games planned for the Wii U in August if your into those type of games. I guess Splinter Cell Black is planned for August 20th but I doubt people will be lining up outside the door to buy an Wii U and Splinter Cell Black.

On the positive note, Mr. Satoru Iwata finally realize he needs to diversify Nintendo's software portfolio. Read reports he's growing the team and looking into new IPs to develop, so next E3 might be interesting if Satoru Iwata is true to his word.

ziratul3952d ago

@hollabox You do understand how much time is needed to make new IP with new team? Years....

Theyellowflash303952d ago

Hollabox, August for Nintendo is Pikmin 3. That game is going to sell a lot of Wii U's if Nintendo markets it right.

Splinter Cell is just a side dish of Wii U owners. If you're going to argue against the Wii U, at least know the line-up of Nintendo's first party games.

hollabox3952d ago (Edited 3952d ago )

@Theyellowflash30

I've posted the Wii U lineup in the past for August, just didn't think Pikmin was worth mentioning. I will admit I've never played or had the inclination to play Pikmin, not even on my Gamecube.

With that said Pikmin looks and has always looked way too soft or casual for my taste. From what I've seen is Pikmin really any different than what Disney offers? Pikmin is a colorful kid game which fine if that's thing, I say more power to you but its not for me. With that said I still don't see August release of Pikmin, Disney titles, and Splinter Cell being System sellers. I'm talking about 30,000 units or less in the US at best.

Any who I was actually praising Nintendo for atleast acknowledging they need to expand their portfolio. If they show something decent for my age I might consider Nintendo again in the future, I just grew out of most games Nintendo offers today.

Wii U is really looking horrible, still not dead - its near death actually.

Shnazzyone3952d ago

Nope. Not even close. It's just at its slowest point. As long as mario Kart 8 and smash brothers is coming, Wii U is gonna be just fine. Anyone saying otherwise is exercising wishful thinking.

Eyeco3951d ago

Because Mario Kart and Smash Bros really helped the N64 and Gamecube

Shnazzyone3951d ago (Edited 3951d ago )

Smash Brothers was a new IP and Yes, Mario Kart 64 did help n64 as it was a launch title. Different times man. Now those are two of nintendo's biggest ips. So yeah, wishful thinking.

ziratul3951d ago

People are telling me: Wii U will BOOM in 2014? 2 years after release?

hollabox3952d ago

@ziratul
Really? You don't say? Of course I know game development can take anywhere from 12-24 months or more depending on scope, quality, budget, and team size. The E3 comment is not an release date, companies do showcase their titles sometimes a year or more before they are actually released.

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."

VersusDMC4h ago

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

VersusDMC3h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer4h 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

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde1h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

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

RavenWolfx1h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro9h ago

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.

Knightofelemia7h ago(Edited 7h 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_B6h ago

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

shinoff21836h ago

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

Asplundh6h ago

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

Knightofelemia6h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins6h ago

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

Abnor_Mal6h ago

The first game was the best imo.

How long until they get sued and it gets taken down? I say a month or 2

PRIMORDUS1d 2h ago

Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣

NotoriousWhiz1d ago

As long as it isn't emulating the Switch, it'll be fine.

RonnySins1d ago

Naaah! Don't want to waste time emulating on iPhone.

Knightofelemia23h ago

Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
