Where did that boost come from!?

Star Ocean? SFIV? Killzone 2!?

LoVeRSaMa5515d ago

I bet the sales in Wal Mart for beans that have been droped on the floor are also up a similar percentage [=

mint royale5515d ago

god knows about the monthly boost though. GTA?

gaffyh5515d ago

I expected a little more for some reason. $199 vs $399 and it outsells PS3 by 120k?

360 - 391k sold @ $199 = $78,200,000
PS3 - 276k sold @ $399 = $110,124,000

^Just thought I'd point that out, seen as Sony are going for profitability, and Xbox fanboys are going rabid at the NPD numbers.

Daz5515d ago

Does everyone by the arcade 360 version then?

Sibs5515d ago

Does everybody buy the $399 ps3?

The majority of 360 sales are the arcade and the majority of ps3 sales are the $399 one, he's just going for simplicity's sake.

JokesOnYou5515d ago (Edited 5515d ago )

Fisrt of all gaffyh if you're going to talk about profits then you also have to know/include manufacturing costs, or in other words ps3 costs more to make so even though it sales at a higher price point it may or may not be a greater lost in comparison to 360. Higher revenue does not always equal higher profits.

Secondly 360 has 3 different sku's one of which is $399, I'm sure you don't know what the sales ratio is so basicly you FAILED to point out anything significant.

JOY

edit: Sibs I always hear the Pro sells best from my local gamestores, either way I have no idea how it does US/worldwide so where is your link stating the Arcade sales the best?, furthermore does it say how much better? Is it 40/30/30 or 80/10/10, or what?, just show me a link, I'm interested in the hard data you have, I mean forgive me for not taking YOUR word for it, I'd just like to see something that backs up your claims. lolz, I mean come on you charachterize him overlooking the obvious fact that there a 3 360 sku's as "he's just going for simplicity's sake" is laughable, almost as if n4g is a new site and we've never seen anyone downplay sales #'s before. lmfao, try harder.= JOY

WOW a lot more than i thought they sold for the month.

Zeus Lee5515d ago

Good numbers though,at this rate,they'll end this gen with about 35-40 Million Xbox 360 solds.Very respectable considering the Xbox 1 only managed 25 Million by the end of its life.

BLaZiN PRopHeT5515d ago

So a bump of 81k units in a recession isn't significant?

soxfan20055515d ago

More like they will end this year with 40 million.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis10h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast9h ago

It's worth a play through today.

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 5h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 6h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 4h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast9h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 2h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast9h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon22h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast9h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon23m ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake3h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast1h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
