It hard to compete with Black Friday numbers, the week after black Friday and a release week for a console. With that said, each console did fairly well and the 360 still dominating the USA. So far the Vita is selling fairly well, I can't wait to.see how numbers improve with the 3G/Wifi with a year of plus and Unit 13 is released this week.

Dante1124151d ago (Edited 4151d ago )

True, and the PS3 dominated the Europe and Japan numbers as well (I just approved the other vgchartz article). All consoles did well though (USA and Europe). Can't wait to see how everything evens out in the WW totals.

insomnium24150d ago

Yawn.....vgc....carry on...

Most of the Wii U's will eventually be returned because of piss poor experience.

Multiple hours in now simply trying to get the piece of shite to connect to the internet and update, on a wifi network that had worked flawlessly on every other single device out there from iPhones to Android phones and X-Box 360's to iMac's.

Just saying... If this expereince is typical, the Wii U is DOA.

Just about ready to box mine up and take it back.

millzy1024150d ago

people having trouble connecting to wifi on wii u go on pc open cmd from start menu type ipconfig/all then copy ip adress' to wii u done mine in 2 mins its not that hard.

Hicken4150d ago

... that's too much. It doesn't take that much for ANY wifi-enabled device I've ever used. Why should a BRAND NEW piece of tech require such old-school workarounds for a basic feature to work?

poo3429472947924150d ago

insta connect here the firdt update took 15 minutes and 2nd 3 minutes no idea what ppl do wrong either user error or dial up interwebz

Belking4150d ago

Xbox360 continues to dominate the software sales list.

stage884150d ago

I know, it's about time they woke up and got PS3's and their exclusives. US, take note of rest of the world.

Belking4150d ago

Little too late for sony to take back the US market. They might as well just focus on recovering for next gen. Xbox is just too strong in the U.S.

Muerte24944150d ago

guesstimates at best. We wont have to wait long before the Big 3 release their quarterly reports. Seeing as how VGChartz has decided to take Microsoft's numbers at face value yet remain skeptic about Sony's, has me seriously doubting their "Sales analysis" very much. VGchartz tracking has been know to be off by as much a 500,000 when it comes to overtracking the 360. It also undertracks ps3 200,000~75,000. I can't deny that Microsoft has made themselves a major player compared to last generation.

BanBrother4150d ago

They under-track anything.

They do under-track the PS3 console sales, but don't make it out as if this is some Microsoft conspiracy. They under-tracked Halo 3 sales by a couple million at one stage. They also counted the shipped numbers of UC3 (3.8 million) but then corrected it.

I'm just saying it does go both ways, before people try to jump on the tin-foil hat bandwagon.

All Campfire Locations in Fortnite: Chapter 5 Season 2 Guide

ESTNN writes: "The easiest campfire can be found in the middle of the lake close to Restored Reels. Landing in the middle of the island immediately puts you near the campfire, which is surrounded by a tent, a barrel and a single lawn chair."

8 Years Later, It's About Time Sony Revives The Rest Of Ratchet And Clank

Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."

shinoff218317h ago(Edited 17h ago)

It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though

Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

blackblades7h ago

Sad day oh wait everyone that whining about it didn't play it or haven't played it in years and never was going back to it. Funny how people start to care when this happens but when it was actually up those same people didn't even pay attention to it.

rlow13h ago(Edited 3h ago)

First, you don’t know who has or hasn’t played it. So that’s your assumption. Secondly, even if people haven’t played it in awhile, it’s still nostalgia. Those memories of sharing your creation and having fun playing other peoples creations. Third, no game out there is really like this or as iconic. Today if they made this they would nickel and dime the whole way through and it would launch broken.

Cacabunga2h ago

Reason why i really dislike online games.. they become unplayable over time.. LBP story mode is actually only a tutorial

What needs to be highlighted by this is that the series has had 4 main games then that go kart spin off yet sony let them all die.

There is 0 games like this on ps5 and to my knowledge 0 first party main kids games no tech demo crap

Sony purchased Media Molecule studio the ip then tossed it away letting it rot for over 7 years yet the community carried on until now were we have lost 16 years on all games of content along with no replacement.

Everyone goes on about ea killing studios but sony has killed way way more but its fine its sony they can do no wrong.

Before the sony blidboys track me down again go fire up your holy boxes all the dlc they tossed out all the trophies and all the user content needs a server side handshake that no longer works. Yes offline single player version 1.0 works but that is it.

Media Molecule was not cut i know but they only made LBP and dreams it was reported they just missed the chopping block
https://gamerant.com/little...

Do not forget the dreams game was tossed out 2020 but 3 years later support was pulled
https://www.digitaltrends.c...

All in all this is another failure at sony on a long long list in the past 10 years

Inverno9h ago

It's kind of hard to disagree when SONY has a history of abandoning many of their IPs. They killed Mod Nation and turnt it into LBP Karting because of brand recognition but left it to die too. They made their own Smash Bros only to rush the studio, and turn the game into an advert for recent release at the time and still let it die. They shut down PS Home for more or less the same reason, they left it to rott till it became too broken and exploited to bother fixing.

just_looken6h ago

This right here

Playstation home is what facebook is trying to make now but in vr that metaverse deal

Imagine if sony kept up ps home development

The death of playstation forums was also a huge loss

u-bEttA-rUn8h ago

Their games were unable to attract the masses every game that came out the attachment grew smaller and smaller they advertise LBP for years the industry changed and then came fortnight... You want Sony to continue to support them which cost them money that they're not getting back from the studio.

DOMination-5h ago

Honestly, I think a well-designed LBP-style game would do better than ever in the current state of the industry.

People have short attention spans. Having something that is pick up, play a few levels and put down again is the experience the "masses" are after.

Keep it as a 2D platformer only with well-designed base levels, make it easy to build new levels and more importantly easy to access new content - personally I always found the way Forze Horizon 4&5 provide daily, weekly and monthly challenges via new content that they've built or handpicked from the community is a system that works great - and then stick it on mobile and PC with Steam Deck support.

Make it F2P with a one-off fee for the level editor (to stop people spamming crap onto the store) and have MTX for more characters, outfits etc. and there you have a live service game that Sony should be all over.

Do the same with a new Karting game and a 2D fighting/Smash Bros style engine and you have three bangers right there.

(I appreciate the N4G community will hate the idea of LBP being a live service game with MTX and I get that but I think if there's one game this model could work well for, it's this.. just imo)

anast3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Astro's is similar.

Not enough people cared to play it, so they cut it.

Sony has never been a kid friendly console. This should be obvious. People go to Nintendo for this stuff.

StoneTitan3h ago

Its on media molecule though. They did not want to continue LBP. Sony accepted that.
Sumo continued it. With a solala lbp3 and a great sackboy though.
Its not sonys fault. They dont want to force a studio to create a new LBP game.
But I would love a revival.

romulus2349m ago

For some people Sony can do no right either. You can play Sackboy A Big Adventure on PS5. So there is "a game like this" on PS5.

I feel bad for Media Molecule. For the ideas they have it seems they need a publisher that supports games like this and Dreams especially for as many players as possible.

DOMination-5h ago

Sony in the Andrew House era did support them massively though. They let them do their thing with LBP and spent millions marketing it. I remember one E3 they even used LBP to cover the boring parts of the presentation where they talk about sales figures etc.

And then they allowed MM to announce their game on the PS4 console announcement/showcase event and waited the entire generation for them to release it.
