Ps3 passed the 78 million mark.

PSjesus3940d ago

with a price cut it'll pass 100m more than 30 m PS2 sold after PS3 released

I_LOVE_MYSELF3940d ago

3DS by the looks of things. Not bad for a console that was labelled "dead" by a very vocal crowd online. Nice to see it pulling in fantastic numbers. Easily the best software for a handheld console at this point in time. Very deserving of these sales.

HammadTheBeast3940d ago

Yeah it's doing great. I'm also surprised that The Last of Us is still #1.

FriedGoat3940d ago

Good that Nintendo have the casual market for their 3DS, thats the way to make money.
Shame they moved on from the Wii/wii U :(

AdvanceWarsSgt3939d ago

^^^^I'm not so sure the 3DS is mostly made up of casual gamers. The system isn't as mainstream appealing as the DS was, and the majority of its lineup consists of core games.

For a comparison, the DS--->3DS transition is much like the GB--->GBA transition, in which the successors are less popular to the mainstream than their predecessors but remain popular to core gamers because of their libraries.

AdvanceWarsSgt3939d ago

Figures that instead of responding to my comment I just get a bunch of disagrees. Then again, considering this is N4Sony, don't know why I expected even that much.

I'm really glad that the Vita sales are picking up these past few months. Hopefully with the introduction of next gen, PS4, sales for Vita will go even higher.

DarkHeroZX3940d ago (Edited 3940d ago )

Yeah I think with the ps3 and the vita being the same price it makes the Vita look less attractive. But with a new more expensive console people will really begin to see the value of the PS Vita at it's current price. Sony also needs to launch faster and much bigger memory cards and slash the price of the current ones.

Cam9773940d ago

The Vita's doing well! I wonder if the boost has come from PS4 integration or not? Things aren't looking good for the Wii U, it has half the sales of the Vita! I wonder if things will turn around for Nintendo.

mafiahajeri3940d ago

What are you talkin about? It's +13 from the previous week! It's doing well... XD

Hicken3940d ago

A mix of that and Toukiden, most likely. There were some more games announced for Vita this week, but I doubt they had an impact, as they're not for next year, I believe.

360ICE3940d ago

Toukiden released in Japan. Take a look at the Japanese numbers alone. It's a huge factor.

ThatCanadianGuy5143940d ago (Edited 3940d ago )

These are all guesses based on nothing, by the way.

Hard to say if Vita is doing well or Wii u losing sales based on vgchartz.

GribbleGrunger3940d ago

I think it's too early for the PS4 integration to have any 'significant' effect on Vita sales. I believe we'll see the effects closer to the actual release of the PS4 because Sony will advertise the advantages of having both systems.

PSjesus3940d ago

to be honest it's doing good for a system with low to non ads and few games compared to gigantic 3ds library
think Sony is busy with PS4

PopRocks3593940d ago

Wait, Vita does a little under 60k and it's doing great...

Wii U does over and around 50k for some of the earlier months and it was doing horribly?

Am I the only one confused here? How are either of those figures supposed to be good, let alone the Vita's?

G20WLY3939d ago

^Yes Poprocks, you're the only one confused...

I hope Vita can retain some of this spike. Be nice to get a firm release date for Toukiden in the West.

PopRocks3593939d ago (Edited 3939d ago )

Gee, thanks for the explanation. Are you normally this mature and informative?

I suppose the next time the Wii U sells 50k come this holiday season everyone will be cheering for how well it's doing. /s

Seriously, this is hardly something to celebrate over. The Vita's doing less badly. And? It should be doing better. A LOT better. In fact these were numbers the Wii U was pulling around January and a little after.

cee7733939d ago

@poprocks

Don't think of what its(wii U) done think of what its done lately lol

and to even bring up 50k for A holiday season is pathetic makes me believe you lost faith in the wii U altogether holiday season is when your supposed to move the most consoles and if you believe the Wii U is only capable of 50k thats terrible

WoW

G20WLY3939d ago

^Pop, ooh sarcasm, well done sir. ;P

Vita sold 60k in a week and (as you said in your post above) WiiU sold 50k "some months".

I didn't think I'd need to offer an explanation.

Any reasonable person would agree that Toukiden (a new, barely touted IP) boosting sales of the Vita to this degree is a welcome surprise.

PopRocks3593937d ago (Edited 3937d ago )

@cee773

The 50k sales were after the holiday rush. January is not part of that. Try again.

@G20WLY

"Any reasonable person would agree that Toukiden (a new, barely touted IP) boosting sales of the Vita to this degree is a welcome surprise."

Yeah. In Japan. If the price was slashed in other regions and the game was released here, the Vita would be doing even better. But no, apparently it's better to sugarcoat everything and pretend that these numbers are actually impressive. Yet there are the PS3 and 3DS pulling in hundreds of thousands of units sold.

Fanboys are the worst, I swear.

G20WLY3936d ago

^Pop, calm your self lol

I agree, it's price should be cut in the West. When did I ever say these sales were 'impressive'? Answer: never.

It's an indisputable improvement. End of.

Fanboys ARE the worst, aren't they..? They read words that aren't there, just so they can pick a fight... smdh

+78% great! Gamescom should give it a boost too.

xxPillsxx3940d ago

If Gamescom does well it'll go +9001% lol
I really really really hope Gamescom will annouce some really good stuff!

stage883940d ago

Nice to see PS3 extending its lead.

mcstorm3940d ago

Good to see the PSV and WiiU numbers picking up. 3DS still selling well and good to see the 360 and PS3 still selling well late into there gens.

Lets hope they all keep on the rise on there way to the holiday season.

Lvl_up_gamer3940d ago

Just wait till MS finally cuts the 360 price....

360 sales will sky rocket

neoMAXMLC3940d ago

Sony will simply follow and then stay in the lead.

mcstorm3940d ago

It will be interesting to see what the sales are like for the 360 with Kinect if they drop it to £150 or below.

Lvl_up_gamer3940d ago

@ neoMAXMLC

LMFAO

Sony has already stripped the PS3 down to it's bare bones and are just barely squeezing a profit out of it. Sony CAN'T lower the price.

It's MS that has been sitting on their current 360 price for the longest time. MS could drop the 360 4gb down to $99. No way Sony can do that with the PS3.

Please stop acting like you know anything business related. Your comment clearly shows your ignorance on the subject.

cee7733939d ago

@lvl

ps3 cell and rsx will shrink to 22nm and 28nm early next year so A price is possible.

neoMAXMLC3936d ago (Edited 3936d ago )

The same EXACT thing can be said about you. If it was so easy for MS to drop the price then why havent they done so just yet? Why havent they done so even after a new redesign?

And easy on the PMS fueled reply this time please.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
