That Xbone bundle was definitely worthwhile, even if it couldnt get near the PS4 sales.

Eonjay3503d ago (Edited 3503d ago )

Next week, it should have an additional boost thanks to launching in other regions. And then the week after that it should get a boost from free game week during Destiny launch (PS4 should get a huge bump that week as well)... speaking of which, I am interested to here an official announcement for Destiny first week sales. Should be the biggest game launch of the year so far.

bouzebbal3503d ago

next week's spike won't change much, even though VGchartz is not a trusted source. PS4 is just unbeatable.

Eonjay3503d ago

@abzdiine

The Madden boost should wear off but Japan will, by itself give them at least 25k. I don't believe it will top the PS4, but it should not go back to pre Madden levels and may just even have a decent shot at 100k. BTW, I am just making an educated guess.

NukaCola3503d ago

When will the post xbone jp launch numbers?

jrshankill3503d ago (Edited 3503d ago )

Yeah, good to see too.

Strange though that there is a bigger jump in PS3 sales than PS4 sales. Any ideas why this may be?

But anyway, 54% increase is good to see on the Xbox One side of things. Competition is good.

MSBAUSTX3503d ago

I think it is because you can play Destiny on it and you can pick up PS3 Bundles around for extremely cheap. Releasing Destiny on Last gen consoles I think was a bit of a mistake because it still didnt give everyone the needed push to buy the newest ones. XB 360 still sold 25k and it along with PS3 should be flat almost by now.

jrshankill3503d ago

@MSBAUSTX

Bubbled up! Makes perfect sense.

I can also see Tales of Xillia sold a bucket load last week also.. perhaps this contributed?

Anyway, good to see the jump in console sales across the board. If you look at last weeks sales you will notice the massive jumps.

Ju3503d ago

Destiny isn't part of that week

SilentNegotiator3503d ago

Well, it's not like a US sports game was going to rock the entire world.

feraldrgn3503d ago

Nice to see the Vita going up, even if by a tiny amount.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

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."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC2h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer3h ago

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

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya1h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde1h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Enjoy. This game is so much fun and so addictive.

I heard great things and I am a fan of most Vanillaware games so I’m looking forward to it. Waiting for my kids to fall asleep and I’m good to go

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx1h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro8h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B6h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21836h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh6h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia5h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins6h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal5h ago

The first game was the best imo.
