thats not funny, 58% is impressive

devwan3935d ago

The actual unit sales are what should be impressive or not, not a percentage based on the previous period. You can paint all kinds of pictures with percentages like that, straight numbers tell the truth.

TongkatAli3935d ago (Edited 3935d ago )

3DS outsold the Vita, PSP and Wii U combined.

ROFL!

Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II3935d ago (Edited 3935d ago )

well look at xbox 3rd less than half the sales of the 3ds yet sells more software.. 3ds sales mean nothing since most of its userbase dont buy alot games since they are mainly casuals.

animegamingnerd3935d ago

@Pope_Kaz_Hirai_II 3 out of the 10 games on this list are 3DS titles i have no idea where the hell are you getting this information

TekoIie3935d ago

@Pope_Kaz_Hiai_ll

"well look at xbox 3rd less than half the sales of the 3ds yet sells more software.."

because y'know... It helps when you've sold something like 80 million worldwide since 2005 as opposed to 33 million since 2011/12

MaxXAttaxX3934d ago (Edited 3934d ago )

PS Vita has the highest attach rate, meaning people are playing more games on it ;)

Four+ disagrees?

How do you disagree with a fact? It's right there in plain sight. PSP outsold Wii U and the Wii U outsold the Vita (not even by much more than a few thousand on both accounts).

***"How do you disagree with a fact?"***

Nothing here is "fact" though... This article is labeled "rumor" for a reason. Maybe that's probably why people are disagreeing because they are making "this outsold that" statements as if these numbers are definitive written in stone facts.

avengers19783935d ago

@ poprocks facts hurt people's feelings

solidt123935d ago

Wii U was up 58% and still got outsold by the PSP.

TongkatAli3935d ago (Edited 3935d ago )

DS fanboys said PSP has no games and it was a failure. History is repeating itself, lol.

Look how the PSP is selling for being a relic, mad props to that handheld.

I'm going to get a PSP to hack it and play Pokemon Leaf Green X )

dark-hollow3935d ago

The history sure is repeating itself.
Nintendo handhelds are dominating like always.

HammadTheBeast3935d ago

PS3 outsold the 360 and is widening the gap every week lol.

T23935d ago

Im actually surprised 36o is still selling as many as they are ... What are you all playing on 360 ? Mines in a coma id trade it in but still 3 months of forced gold payment

romancer3935d ago

How many Sony shares do you own? Are you anticipating a dividend?

Even so, you might do better to invest in Nintendo...

As for the 360, (assuming the figures are close to being accurate, which may quite an assumption) the #1 sales of NCAA Football 14 must mean something...

dale_denton3935d ago

careful when you say that man, these xbox fanboys only think the xbox only exists in the states.. they don't praise "worldwide" sales here.

HammadTheBeast3935d ago

Romancer

Prepare your mind to be blown.

PS3 outsells Xbox in pretty much everywhere in the world but US, which 360 has a grip on.

'Mericans lover their football (No clue why it's called this, doesn't make sense).

Therefore, higher sales of Football games on 360 (only 100k lulz).

What IS surprising, is that The Last of Us is STILL in the top 3, and only sold 100 k less than NCAA which came out this week.

Any questions?

KeePeR_213935d ago

romancer

Yes, it means the 360 lacks variety, notice that ps3 has 4 games in the top ten, take last of us and one of the lower selling games away and apply that to ncaa 14 and the ps3 version might've outsold the 360 version by a great margin.

LoveOfTheGame3935d ago

Why is basketball not handball? Why is baseball not called batball?

It's called football because it was derived from Rugby, wait for it, football.

Learn other people's cultures instead of making fun of them.

wii u outsold PS3 in japan lol

dale_denton3935d ago

sony still made more $ because they sold the ps3 more than wii u... LOL!

DarkHeroZX3935d ago

Yeah but Wii U sales already went back down. So next VG update will have Wii U back to it's second to last spot.

Brasi19893935d ago

@DarkHeroZX
I doubt WiiU will be down next update as Pikmin 3 will have been released in more countries.

Prime_283935d ago

Why do you sony fanboys never compare the Vita to the 3DS? LOL

Dead_Cell3935d ago

Who cares about handhelds? It's the equivalent of a gaming laptop.

nice to see the last of us holding it in there.

animegamingnerd3935d ago (Edited 3935d ago )

sweet seeing pikimin 3 in the top 5

dark-hollow3935d ago

And that was only in Japan.
Pretty decent if I say so.

fsfsxii3935d ago

Here comes the raging rabid fanboys bitching about sales.

SpitFireAce853935d ago

I hope sony drops the ps3 price soon i want to see $199 price point.

shivvy243935d ago

im pretty sure the basic model is $199

vigilante_man3934d ago

In the UK you can get the 500GB model for £175 and the 12GB basic model for £139.

There are good prices out there...

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7212h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii13h ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast10h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM7h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Chard1d 3h ago

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen1d 2h ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

kevco331d 1h ago

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.
