Whoa, is PS3 normally that far ahead of 360? I dont normally pay that much attention so I dont know.

Actually the percentage says PS3 down Xbox up so the gap closed but its still a bit of a shellacking.

Mario183873d ago

It is probably because those potential PS3 buyers opted for the GTA5 bundle. It is doing pretty well on amazon

savaroth3873d ago

I think that it has a lot to do with the current game releases. Xbox360 had some great games, but it has been slow later on.

PS3 ATM has the more interesting titles.

MadMen3873d ago

PS3 looking strong

WiiU looking weak

PopRocks3593873d ago

Considering the Wii U's upcoming price drop I'd be surprised if it saw a bigger increase (considering it says here it rose one percent). I'd be more curious to see how it does after the Wind Waker bundle comes out.

Also, gotta give props to the 3DS' performance. Solid numbers for several months running.

lilbroRx3872d ago

Actually, its been over a year of the 3DS reigning at the top.

AbortMission3873d ago

Wow, how long has it been since they announced they've sold 3.45m Wii us? They STILL haven't passed the 3.5m mark Lol sad, really.

Jay70sgamer3872d ago

It's also sad Nintendo as a company has been the console and handheld leader for the last 8 years dispute them facts and tell me how sad that is lol

AbortMission3872d ago

Lmfao at these two butthurt drones. So I can't comment on Wii u sales figures without automatically being called a Nintendo hater <- lol a new extreme low.

Aren't you that same drone who keeps telling me that you've been gaming since the 70's just to hide your fanboyism?

LOL_WUT3872d ago

@ AbortMission They mix up criticism with hating not only that but they hate it when they're confronted with facts. Just bubble him down and get it done with ;)

Jay70sgamer3872d ago

What I stated was a fact ...is it not a fact nintendo handhelds and consoles has been the industry leader for the last 8 years ....what is it that I said that isn't true ...smh disagreeing with facts smh LOL-WUT and Abortmision that isn't a fact?....umm let me break it down wii leader since 2006 consoles and nintendo handhelds forever and I can't face facts smh lol dispute them facts I just dropped on both of yall ...explain that lol

I expect a slow , steady decline for ps3 from here out ... Everyone and their dog has heard of ps4 now

Mario183873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Sorry but with Beyond coming out and GTA 5 just being released, that is highly unlikely

keabrown793873d ago

While Beyond looks great, i'm picking it up!, it won't be any more of a success then Heavy Rain was.

Inception3872d ago

Not to mention there's Gran Turismo 6 in the end of this year. Next year line up also full of amazing exclusive + multiplat for PS3. So a steady decline sales for PS3 will be happen in 2015...maybe.

T23872d ago

yes I agree, I didn't mean a full decline right away, but aside from some obvious jumps due to GT and GTA, I'm saying the ps4 will climb while ps3 declines over time, say the next year or two. It will be interesting to see when ps4 catches ps3 for monthly sales... could be immediately.

just-joe3873d ago

I assume 3DS sale will go higher as soon as Pokemon hits.

Williamson3873d ago

The 3ds sales always leave me speechless, and it did around 275,000 in Japan alone recently
...

savaroth3873d ago

Really shows what a good game library can do. I have the Vita and think it is a much better device, but can't deny that the 3DS has more games and more importantly it does have plenty of GOOD titles too.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia1h ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator59m ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
