For a remastered version of a one year old game those sales are really impressive.

Lightning Mr Bubbles3686d ago (Edited 3686d ago )

Those are very solid numbers for most AAA games, but for a PS3 port, that's just criminal. Naughty Dog should be in jail.

But I mean that in a good way.

Lightning Mr Bubbles3686d ago

Not really, just kidding on that last comment. I think is was a great and noble thing to bring TLOU to PS4, it's a great game that PS4 adopters who didn't have a PS3 should be able to play.

It's good for both gamers and to get the game even more exposure, because as many people as possible should experience TLOU. It's a great game.

And I know it's more than just a port.

NatureOfLogic_3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

So this ioi guy who is a known Xbox fanboy that runs Vgchartz, says he doesn't believe Sony's official numbers of 10 million sold because he can't find where he guessed wrong? So PS4 will remained under tracked by more than 600k units. Lmao

Mr Pumblechook3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

This website must be making stuff because they always under track PS4 figures and overstate the Xbone figures.

Blood Tears on the VG Chartz comments section said it best:
"The original games has gone on to sell more than 4.5 million units." What a joke! It passed 7 million copies already on the original, Sony already confirmed it. Much like 10 million PS4's and once again, no adjustments. Pathetic!"

frenchtoast3685d ago

I don't think this number is accurate, but I'm also wary of believing the 1.5 mil number, because if they had sold 1 million, they would have sent out a press release or something.

BarneyS3685d ago

The fact that they always adjust Xbox numbers after MS releases sales (shipped) numbers without asking questions is even more pathetic. But when Sony does it they don't beleive it..

aCasualGamer3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

Don't trust VGChartz and their sources.

They have PS4 at 9,4 million units sold. Sony announced that they had sold more than 10 million units.

That's an error of about 600 000 units. I don't care what kind of sources they have but that's alot of units they missed out on in their calculations.

TomShoe3685d ago

Ewwwwwwww

Chartzzzzzzzzzzz

Gantrfaxx3685d ago

And it's not any year old game. It's a hell of a game.

Congrats to Naughty Dog.

So glad people are still seeking for unique and different games such as this.

I thought COD and BF brainwashed people to the point they wouldn't even glance at a game such as this.

We need more TLOU type of quality in our industry.

AngelicIceDiamond3685d ago

Whoa didn't know there were sensitive COD and BF fans in here reading this.

You don't come across many games like TLOU everyday in the game industry.

Its a welcome whenever they are they made.

Hk85karlsson3685d ago

Yes we do. A game where story is critical and the actors deliver on their part where the characters become semi-real (almost real to me at least).

This is the type of game I want to play.

medman3685d ago

First of all, these are vgchartz bullshit numbers...not to be believed at all. I'm sure TLOU for ps4 sold much higher, if this pathetic sites history is to be accounted for.

Blaze9293685d ago

wasn't there an article saying this game sold 1 million copies or so in the first 24 hours? What happened?

Spotie3685d ago

VGChartz happened.

I'd put more faith in the numbers the fleas on my dog guessed than anything this site puts out.

Or what? Is VGChartz believable now?

FanboyKilla3682d ago

just ask naughty dog. i dont here them thanking their customers for helping them sell one million in a night. soooooo..... i doubt it. sony never has a problem posting positive numbers.

hey six hundred thousand isnt bad. it is the same game they just sold to the public about a year ago. how many of that six hundred thousand, do you believe are new to tlou? im willing to bet no where near as many the number of returning ps loyalist.

so kudos to nd and sony, they sold the samething twice. that has to account for something. and i think it says great game, but also, a lack of greatness. no pun intended. though it is kind of funny and ironic.

same resction

Lolchartz is being Lolchartz

FarEastOrient3686d ago

This website still has the PS4 under tracked by 800,000 units. Sony already reported 10 mil and this has them at 9.2 mil.

amiga-man3685d ago

VGChartz had very little credibility before but to deny Sony has sold 10 million consoles when it has already been confirmed by Sony themselves just proves how laughable this site is.

Eonjay3686d ago

The site admin ioi has responded about why they wont update their figures to 10 Million. They said that the reason they are missing 600k PS4 in their numbers is because they can't figure out what regions they are down in.

"...If Sony is to be believed..." is a quote from the site Admin.

FarEastOrient3686d ago

They can't figure out what regions they're down in because they guessed wrong.

Ezz20133686d ago

OMG WOW
did he really said that ?

MasterCornholio3685d ago

""...If Sony is to be believed..." is a quote from the site Admin."

Sounds like someone who's extremely butthurt said that.

Why o why3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

Time to finally get them out of here

Oh...... but n4g has some kinda deal with them.....take from that what you will

The irony of vgc questioning sonys official numbers is off the chartz

N4g Integrity............

"The Last of Us Remastered is an updated version of the PlayStation 3 smash hit The Last of Us. The original games has gone on to sell more than 4.5 million units."

What...the original game has already sold just south of 7 million before the ps4 version....this article is wrong or they have old numbers...technically it's worded right...but better wording would have been "the original version has gone on to sell more than 6 million units"

Underworld3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

I'm confused about how much the PS3 version of The Last of Us sold. Is the 7 million number sold to consumers or retail? I don't think it was said.

NatureOfLogic_3685d ago

Vgchartz tracks shipped to retailers. At least that's what they said when defending MS over tracked numbers.

Underworld3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

That's not what they've told me. I emailed them months ago asking about it and they told me they track sold to consumers. I think they've pointed it out on their site a few times too.

bloodybutcher3685d ago

To be fair, 7 milionsis more than 4,5m, so he is correct xD

trunkswd3686d ago

That is short of what Cowen & Company analyst Doug Creutz expected and not Sony.

Bathyj3686d ago

Man, you try waaay to hard.

LeCreuset3686d ago

Your troll attempt is as pitiful as it is transparent.

Rimeskeem3685d ago (Edited 3685d ago )

You trust 1 analyst now?

Don Mattrick once said that the first console to reach 10 million sales it wins the generation.

Revengeance3685d ago

Lol your troll attempts get dumber by the day! It's obvious you wanted this game to fail because no games on 360 or XB1 are as good as TLOU :)

marioJP873686d ago (Edited 3686d ago )

10 million PS4s available. You'd expect it to break at least 1 million by almost a month of availability. Welp, im one of those 600,000 who bought it.

DarXyde3686d ago

Key words: "Opening Week". If sales are consistently high like this, a month, or approximately 4 weeks, would probably yield 2.4 million units.

Let's revisit this conversation next week.

LeCreuset3686d ago

"Let's revisit this conversation next week, using real sales data instead of numbers generated by VGC's rectum."

Fixed.

LordMaim3685d ago

Then again if you believe VGChartz, PS4 has only sold 9.4 million PS4s.

Why would this number be any more accurate, especially since it doesn't count digital sales?

spiderman 2 $40 from $70 so it's priced right now as a expansion pack like MM.,

andy8552d ago

Pretty decent expansion pack then saying i got 30-40 hours out if it.

just_looken52d ago

I can get 30hours out of a job outside does not mean it was good.

But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.

I am so glad today's "gamer" was not around for the ps3/360 era these new gamers are way to easy to please and have killed gaming.

andy8552d ago

It was good though. Are you actually saying it wasn't a good game? And blind? The person you play as was deaf and it was 10 mins not 5 hours. Doesn't seem like you've even played it by that comment. And MJ was...30 mins at most? Not sure how you get 40 mins into 17 hours exactly

CobraKai51d ago

@just_looken

I’ve been playing since the Sega Master System. I love Spiderman 2. There’s too much going for it to be a simple expansion pack. I felt Miles Morales could fall into the expansion pack range.

If you didn’t like it, it’s fine. That’s what’s great about opinions, there are no wrong ones, just different ones.

StormSnooper51d ago

You guys have to understand, they don’t have anything even close to it on his preferred system. There is a whole psychology behind his comment.

pwnmaster300052d ago (Edited 52d ago )

lol I was in the ps3/360 era and spider man 2 would of been a massive hit still.

Please don’t try to represent us gamers from that time. You are not a good example, always complaining and being negative lol.

CobraKai51d ago

@just
I mean, it’s New York. You can’t exactly change the map.

It sounds like you’re hard to please vs gamers being easy to please. You mentioned great games. Games whose sequels had very similar gameplay with each other with very minimal changes or upgrades.

Im with pwnmaster. Don’t speak for us. It sounds like probably only started gaming from PS360 era.

Rebel_Scum52d ago

Peter Parker lives in New York, where else do you expect the map to be?

Using the same map/location is not a problem.

On topic: In my region the base game is $80. Still not low enough for me to dive in. Not that Im in a rush. Havent even finished the 1st one’s dlc yet.

just_looken52d ago

The map still has asset's buildings the the first game its like madden yeah same stadium but can you change that madden 14 logo?

Not to mention they never added shield basses basically unique interiors you can explore off missions or add in jersey.

pwnmaster300051d ago

Sony pony??
Are you a child? Lmao

Just stop man. It’s embarrassing.
We can like games and not be a fanboy.
Gaming shouldn’t be taken this serious. Relax lol

You come at me calling me a bad example talking like this game is gods gift to us and on any sony article you defend them no matter what.

But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.

pwnmaster300051d ago (Edited 51d ago )

Lmao gods gift to us what. I said it would have been a massive hit not a perfect game. It’s a good game get over it.

And this is why I said what I said.
“ But i know no matter what i post or prove people love there nerfed spiderman or playing as a blind person for 5 hours then mary jane shehulk for another 12hours.”

And you’re still proving me right. God forbid people like a certain game.
And BS about me on every sony article defending them. I like games and praised every games I

“ But now i am a child? what because i used logic again this site you throw facts at people they cry to the admins to get me off here again or play the victim card.”

Your opinions are not facts and the fact you think they are is sad. Step off video games for awhile.

just_looken51d ago

Na its fine you go ahead belive 200 million dollars makes sense for 1 game when 80 created a trilogy on 360.

I live without blinders unlike others.

inFamous 3: Is PlayStation Working On A Second Son Sequel?

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake64d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn63d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga62d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX63d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup63d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer199263d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack63d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

Pepsi_Man300063d ago

resistance is insomniac I think

xHeavYx63d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty62d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand12563d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc63d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg62d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.
