Correction: Kotaku misquored this report. This is from EEDAR's NPD Preview and not from NPD. Also, some of the "xx decreases month over month" are also wrong and misquoted from the actual report.
EEDAR has shown of their own "predicted" numbers earlier today,The Wii/DS Continue to dominate while the 360 regains its lead over the Ps3 by 50k.
Nintendo DS 625,445
Nintendo Wii 612,545
Sony PSP 235,447
Sony PS3 275,444
Microsoft Xbox 360 325,488
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
2.
Dmc.
4.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
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
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
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
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.
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.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
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.
should be considered as news?
i don't think it should
Well it seem Patcher was right 360 did outsell Ps3 in July.
I thought Sony would sell less and MS would sell more. Once Sony has their stock back up, it's over. I thought the gap would be at least 100K.
Vgchartz should feel stupid for gasing up Microsoft. They even had one week of PS3 at 30K. LMAO, what were they smoking?
Why are they predicting?
and didnt the 360 have a price cut
It would look disspointing if ps3 outsold it.
but, you know what will be even more disspointing. if MS paid NPD to post false numbers!!!!!!
-Allah Hu Ahkbar
I think that PS3 sales will be a little bit closer to 300,000 units. Those 80GB PS3 MGS4 bundles were still out and selling like hotcakes in July and the 20GB 360 price cut to $299 helped 360 sales so it kinda makes things even if you ask me because both systems had momentum.... but the 360 price cut didn't come until the middle of July and it wasn't for the whole month.... and the MGS4 80GB PS3 bundle stayed at the top of the Amazon.com charts for a LONG time and was a big seller at retail and online.... I think that July's NPD numbers will be very close.
I don't see why so many people expect 360 sales to be so much higher just because the 20GB 360 got cut to $299.99, I mean Microsoft already has the Arcade model for $279.99 and the 360 has been getting outsold by the PS3 by almost every month this year so far, so why would a $50 buck price drop on the second cheapest 360 even matter that much whenever they have a cheaper model for $279? I guess there's more demand for the 360's with the hard drives or something.
Personally I think that it will be much closer gap between 360 and PS3 sales in July.
