PS3 Fanboy: "The PlayStation 3 has outsold the Nintendo Wii worldwide for the third time ever for the week of June 7th to June 14th, according to VGChartz. This is the seventh time the PS3 was able to outsell the Wii in the US while in Japan this was the third time. This is likely due to the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, an incredible deal on the Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle, and the Walmart deal that included a $100 gift card with the purchase of any PS3. Those of you who were very lucky were able to combine the aforementioned deals. Naysayers like to attribute the Wii shortage in the US for the PS3's triumph, but this time around the numbers are worldwide.
Is the third time the charm? Will this usher in an era of PS3 dominance? What do you guys think?

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Word to ya motha. LOL :)
MGS4 is so good. I can't wait for some MGO expansions.
can anyone name any good Wii games coming out this year?
can anyone name any good PS3 games coming out this year?
but i bet the wii will still outsell the others for the next year, i would love to see the PS3 finish them off. i would rather play HAZE over wii fit any day. go figure?!
not be able to consistently beat the wii but i would imagine for here on, the PS3 will widen the gap with the x360 further monthly until next gen comes. The Wii is still 2 times cheaper and such its still pretty hard for the PS3 to catchup. Things could change drastically when the PS3 hits 299 and the market is saturated with the wii which i suspect would happen in another 2 years max. The PS3 only just warming up. As great a MGS4 is. FF and GT are much bigger franchise that will see PS3 sales skyrocket though the roof. Wii gamers will most likely upgrade to the PS3 as well later on because the PS3 is not only caters for the hardcore but also the casuals. Being the only console this gen with the new standard movie format will also help alot.
But i think analyzing things from a logical standpoint, PS3 sales are good the first two weeks of MGS4 releases, but after that there is nothing else to sustain its level and it's more expensive price point as well. There are still alot more "casuals" than MGS fans in this world. Which i think it's somewhat unfortunate because consumers drive the market, and if all we have is casuals then that means the gaming industry is taking a step back to the 80s where we play simple games like space invader and pac man all over again. No one will make expensive game because the mass market (casual) will not buy it.
I hope the industry doesn't go that way, because if it does it is very sad.
