When one of them has 3DS numbers, call me. Until then, enjoy the games you love on the systems people. :)

aceitman4071d ago

@moonman , u compare 250$-500$ system to a system that has 2 models and a price tag 180$ and launched 3 1/2 years ago . as of right now the 1st 6 months in ps4 compared to the 1st 3ds 6 month period is beating the 3ds sales by 2.8 million . and has been beating the 3ds in the charts since launch with a couple flip flops between the 2. so just keep ur number unlisted and I will enjoy my games on all systems but 1.

pedrof934070d ago

Ps4 may get a small boost the in next months, MLB the show and TLOU. For the exclusive part of course.

Moonman4070d ago

I am not comparing anything but install base and raw numbers. My point was to play games not sales but on N4G you gotta be crazy to say that. I don't care how fast or slow PS4, Xbox, Wii U, Sckeo, Neo, DD get there..lol

aceitman4070d ago

@moonman and I am comparing raw numbers and install base , but u say u don't care how fast or slow , but u sure threw in those 3ds numbers like it was tnt and going to blow up in front of the other consoles face. but it did nothing but blow up in ur face dis-connecting ur number for good. and if it was ur point to play games it was easy to just say that and not throw 3ds numbers in peoples face. so enjoy ur games and ill enjoy all of mine . think before u post plz.

Moonman4069d ago

I only said 3DS because those were the highest numbers you fanboy. That is obvious! What else is even close? If it were dreamcast at 44 million I would have said that. And if you have anything else smart to say well....

Magicite4070d ago

i would tag this article as rumor

Geobros4071d ago

Its clear that every year total console sales are worse and worse. I suppose more and more tablets are being sold every year...

AGaryColemanClone4070d ago

No its not clear.

The PS4 is the fastest selling console in the history of the console market.

Geobros4070d ago

This says nothing to me. Nowdays, the system of pre-orders its better organized and companies know how many consoles will say before the release day.

morganfell4070d ago

Its also clear that vgchartz numbers are more off the traget with every made up article.

TitanUp4070d ago

people use tablets for other reason than to game, i dont know anyone that uses their tablets as just a gaming device.

JMyers4070d ago

Actually consoles are selling more year on year and month on month.

At this stage in the life cycle, every console (except the Wii U) is selling more than its predecessor. This is across borders, and with less tripple A games.

brish4070d ago

Where do you get your numbers from?

JMyers4070d ago

@ brish...

http://uk.ign.com/articles/...

This is just one such article of many on hardware and software sales. I know these are launvh numbers, but this trend continues in sales for XB1 and PS4.

brish4070d ago

@JMyers

Thanks for the link.

I found this on vgchartz (i know vgchartz are estimates but i don't think they are off by that much):

http://www.vgchartz.com/too...

PS4 had an amazing launch! It appears that consoles sales peaked in 2011 if you don't include handhelds according to vgchartz.

gary_m4069d ago

"Actually consoles are selling more year on year and month on month."

That simply isn't true.

The Xbox One is selling at a significantly worse
rate than the Xbox 360 at the six month mark.

Wh15ky4069d ago

@ Gary M

Pretty sure you're wrong, where did you hear that?

JMyers4069d ago

@ Gary M

This actually is indeed true. Both the PS4 and Xbox One are outpacing their previous launch sales and month for month. Note that the links below were as of Feb.

DigitalAnalog4070d ago

@Geobros. What's your point? You're not gonna experience the upcoming games on the tablets.

eferreira4070d ago

back in the day a system would only sell 22 mil in it's lifetime. Sales are increasing every year. You have no idea what your talking about.

XiSasukeUchiha4071d ago

Oh I can't wait till it is reach 7.5 million! from PS4

AGaryColemanClone4070d ago

Of course you can't wait for the PS4 to reach 7.5 million.

The PS4 already 7.8 to 7.9 million right now.

plasticidolatry4070d ago

Sony will probably announce 8 million sold while VGChartz has it at 7.6-7.7 million.

They've been undertracking PS4 by about 100-200k since launch, now they're undertracking it even more.

ArchangelMike4070d ago

PS4 6 months at market = 7.4 million!
PS4 12 months at market = 14 million?

osai7894070d ago

Wouldn't be surprised if the PS4 reached 20 million by the end of 2014.

Spontogical4069d ago

indeed... also the last 3 months of a system's YTD sales account for over 66%!

PS4 will be nothing short of 15 million come Jan 1st '15.

DefenderOfDoom24070d ago (Edited 4070d ago )

this article was posted twice to N4G??? edit / okay this post has the WILLIAM D ANGELO breakdown which i read yesterday at our sister site VGChartz ,

LightDiego4070d ago

These numbers will change when Xbox One arrives in China.

MasterCornholio4070d ago (Edited 4070d ago )

The number will always change because the systems will sell.

What are you trying to say by when it comes to China?

Are you suggesting that the Xbox One will sell so much in China that it will end up outselling the PS4 right?

Because if you are then prepare to be dissapointed.

KinjoTakemura4069d ago

There are reasons Sony isn't in the Chinese market legally. The top reason is piracy.

MysticStrummer4070d ago

It's already in China, just not legally.

joeorc4069d ago

Sony launched in Asia already , for instance Hong Kong! Officially /grin

Predaking774070d ago

Must be sad to live just on hopes, magic beans and secret sauces.

Ten Years Later - Still Going Strong: Dying Light: Retouched Update Releasing June 26

Hey Survivors! Tymon here, your favorite Dying Light Franchise Director.

It's been an absolutely wild month here at Techland! We're in the thick of what I'm calling the "Summer of Dying Light," delivering updates and big news across all three Dying Light games. Just a few weeks ago, we dropped the first gameplay for Dying Light: The Beast, revealed its release date, and kicked off pre-orders (if you haven't seen it, check out my last dev blog). I'm incredibly proud of what we're building with The Beast - it’s the culmination of more than 10 years of experience in open-world survival horror!

But here's the thing: we never forget where we came from. That's why, this week, we're not just looking forward - we're rolling out significant updates for both the original Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human. We promised to support our games for a long time, and we're committed to continuing that support, right through and beyond the launch of Dying Light: The Beast.

Incredibly Ambitious PSP Games That Pushed Handheld Gaming

The PSP was ambition personified, so much so that it’s kinda wild to look back and realise what exactly Sony cooked up in 2004.

I still play my PSP. Sadly the UMD drive has stopped working, but I modded it to still be able to play my games (and then some). Such a great little portable.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

YourMommySpoils13h ago

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

What reputation is this threatening exactly? 😂

Lightning771d 14h ago

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.

Christopher17h ago

That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest.

@christopher: “ That would be really bad since Phil just hyped up next year as a big Forza year at Summer Game Fest”
The key word big can be ether good or bad 🤷🏿only time can tell

DarXyde15h ago

First Forza being generated entirely via AI?

If any company would do it, it'd be them.

Nacho_Z4h ago

Isn't the point that it's irrelevant how profitable MS is, the suits have decided it's time that the Xbox division started making them money. Hence the layoffs, the pivots.

hennessey8620m ago

That wouldn't surprise me, as motorsport has been heading down hill since the great number 4. Where as playground have consistently put out better games. I think the two studios will be merged under playground games banner.
