Oh look at that. A nice little minus percentage next to the PS4. What a surprise. /s

TitanFall is #1 and #4 with X1 not even in all of Europe, well done, can't wait to see what happens when X1 opens in 28 more Countries this September.

@Eonjay, not sure why you said you're conflicted, totals are almost identical, were expecting 3x for ISS? That game has been trailing TF for weeks.

@The_Infected

all numbers are fake

we should always report VGChartz submissions as fake.

@Axios... The Xbox in every form has never been popular in Europe. UK yes, but that's a very small market.

The XBONE is the same price as a PS4 now... With TitanFall. MS will not take Europe. Even after releasing to more countries.

Also the so called selling point of Kinect is still not supported in most of the languages, nor the TV input.

GiggMan3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

@Axios "can't wait to see what happens in September" lol

Yeah all of a sudden the Xbox One is going to outsell PS4 in those 28 countries as well as the US and UK... /s

People kill me with that 28 countries argument. It's being outsold in the 13 countries it is available in. How is adding 28 more going to change anything? It's just more countries for the PS4 to outsell the X1 in...

Eonjay3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

@Axios2

This chart can't be right. Even if you want to praise Titanfall on Xbox One (which is still free), I think it sold more than this site is saying. Anyway, look at the software totals. It tells a very interesting story. Did Infamous outsell Titanfall on Xbox One 3:1 in Europe? I'm conflicted and I don't believe it completely.

Zombro3642d ago

Nice I have both and I hate to say it I'm digging my xbox one a little more

morganfell3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

Really Axios? And when you get down to the US portion, look at Gamestop, the second largest video game retailer in the US. Before you look try to guess what position the X1 holds.

SilentNegotiator3642d ago

Yeah, just wait until it releases in countries where Xbox has never sold well before. Then Xbone sales will probably leap, like, an entire 2%.

And whoop de doo; a bundled game "selling" well...

marloc_x3642d ago

"..and Wii U is coming up on the inside.."

heisenberguk3642d ago

Why can't you wait? Do you own shares in MS or something?

You don't get it, do ya? Xbone not selling well, that's a FACT. Production slowing down because warehouse are full of Xbone's - FACT. PS4 outselling Xbone in those countries where Xbone are official - FACT. Those countries that will be supported in September ALREADY have Xbone by many retailers and Xbone didn't sell well there anyway. Many retailers get Xbone from official retailers in Xbone supported countries.

ShAkKa3642d ago

"can't wait to see what happens when X1 opens in 28 more Countries this September."

I can save you the wait. X1 will be outsold in 28 more Countries this September.

You're welcome.

medman3642d ago

Amazing to see ps3 consistently selling xbone, week after week in Europe.

ghostface93642d ago

they actually bumped that number up to 42 countries

What's funny is the PS3 has a minus in front of a zero percentage, but yet the Xbox1 just has a zero percentage. Zero change is still zero change isn't it?

GarrusVakarian3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

Lol, that's VGC for ya!

I always down-vote this site, regardless of the outcome. Garbage website, pure guesswork.

Story Quality? - WTF?

Like this website? - No

stuna13642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

@ Lukas

Technically this means that between Japan and the U.S. another 81,000 consoles were sold! Going by the fact since the initial release of the PS4, it has sold at least double the consoles in the U.S then it has in Europe, the estimates would fall somewhere around 85,000 to 90,000 consoles alone for the U.S. Mind you this is already over VGChartz worldwide estimates of 127,000 PS4 sold worldwide! So where does that leave Japan's figures??? In the negative!

I'm saying this to say that anyway VGChartz puts it , the Xbox1 would have had to sell at least 70,000 consoles in the US alone, because they are only in two major markets as of yet.

Long story short! VGChartz own numbers support the claim everyone has about their numbers being unreliable.

T23642d ago

Agreed always downvote this site... Every single week it's negative percentage for ps proven wrong by reputable sources over and over

saint_seya3642d ago

Lol its fun to see how every week FakeChartz keep the ps4 with a negative % and x-box one with a positive one or in this case a neutral one..
Does this kid thinks that people didnt realize this by now?
Im still hoping to log one day on N4g and find this site banned for good.

VforVideogames3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

Well I kind of believe it , now I see piles of ps4's everywhere and no xboxone's............ go figure.

BcozoftheImplication3642d ago

LOL Good one lad keep telling yourself that!!

SpitFireAce853642d ago

You need to wake up man ..Its just a dream lol

avengers19783642d ago

Really cause i see piles of XB1s every where, toys r us, walmart, meijer, target, and best buy all have tons of them. PS4 has been spotted also but each store usually has 1-4 PS4s and 10-20 XB1s. I live in NW ohio...

greenlantern28143642d ago

Oh is that why every major retailer everywhere in the world is giving some kind of incentive to people to buy an xb1, or out right dropping the price. While no such incentives exists for ps4, or why ms has stated they are going to slow production of the xb1, and the 360. Because it is selling out , sorry but that's not how it works

solidjun53641d ago

Why would you report what you saw at the Microsoft store? smh.

Did you notice that VGchatz secretly added 0.2M to X1 and PS4 is still at 7.2M even though PS4 i killing X1 in sales, just LOL at this site!

candy_mafia3642d ago (Edited 3642d ago )

VforVideogames is recalling a dream he had....go figure? lulz

Wii U numbers on the up 'n up. PS4 still holding firm ;)

PS3 should not be outselling next gen hardware ;/

Soul Covenant (PC VR) Review - CGMagazine

Soul Covenant feels like a game from the early 2000s, with its repetitive gameplay loop, waggle controls, and nonsensical story.

Cold VR is all About Acting Super Hot

Indie developer Carlos Alfonso is working on Cold VR, a game where standing still isn't an option. The complete opposite to SUPERHOT VR.

This sounds very interesting, Superhot was a great game to take inspiration from.

Babadook73h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I liked the VR version of SUPERHOT. If this ends up being as good I'l pick it up (once available) for PSVR2.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

rlow16h ago

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher5h ago(Edited 5h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos3h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos1h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje1h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum4h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum29m ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

SimpleDad1h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

CobraKai51m ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK34m ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.
