the PS3 holding its ground!

mint royale5657d ago

It did well outselling the 360 by 170,000 last week according to these estimations.

Wii however is doing spectacular. I must laugh at the doom and gloom articles that have popped up about Nintendo.

iron_sheik5657d ago

Vg's eu numbers for x360 are just 100% wrong
It is very rare to find an X360 sku anywhere besides UK

original Eu numbers could be

ps3 - 750k
x360 - 250k

eu sales charts are released on gaf every week. last week ps3 outsold x360 5:1 in italy, spain, germany and france. also in Spain stores are not stocking x360 anymore

Saaking5657d ago

It's VGchartz so expect PS3 to be outselling the 360 by a MUCH larger margin.

Nihilism5657d ago (Edited 5657d ago )

lol @ wii figures, go nintendo. But what do they know, according to fanboys their time has come :S, you heard 'em nintendo, it's time to pack it in.

I want to know when the console maker update their sales figures themselves, because nintendo must have sold 20 million console's this year yet all the charts still quote around 50-55 million mark that they were quoting at the start of the year

So let me get this straight, VGC over tracked PS3 and under tracked the 360 last month and now VGC is over tracking the 360 and under tracking the PS3 now, because there is no way to prove VGC otherwise WW?

Guido5657d ago (Edited 5657d ago )

Well, that's to be expected since VGCharts reports units sold and not shipped...

/tongue in cheek

mint royale5657d ago

@iron sheik

You don't have talk alot of crap. Of course the ps3 is outselling the 360 in Europe but of course tehy are still stocking it.

I was actually in Spain 2 months ago and yes I saw many 360's in stores, albeit with a smaller shelf size than ps3 and a much smaller one than the wii.

I highly doubt you actually come from Europe either and just talk rubbish abou Euro sales charts. Please give me a link of where there are figures showing the ps3 outselling the 360 5-1 in those countires (and not during the week with the slim releasing because I fully expect the ps3 to have outsold the 360 by 5-1 then.)

Christopher5657d ago

Wonder when Sony will realize that the continuing decline on PSP sales isn't a good sign?

Ju5657d ago

Why would they worry ? Combined PS2 + PSP sales still exceed 360 sales. Two established platforms making profit for Sony.

Ps3-663,161
xbox360-493,893

"Sony’s PS3 is the only other format alongside Wii to show a year on year increase – sales up nearly 50% over last year. It is interesting to observe that PS3 and Xbox360 sales have effectively swapped places compared to last year, total “HD console” sales are fairly consistent, just that the ratio of 360 to PS3 has reversed"

Saaking5657d ago

It's VGchartz, so 360 numbers are probably inflated and PS3 numbers decreased.

rohail885657d ago

why should we cry if we're winning?

5657d ago
kingdavid5657d ago (Edited 5657d ago )

LOL

"We're winning"

You dont even work for the company and you're probably more excited then sony.

Who gives a crap how much each console sells. Its all about the games.

sikbeta5657d ago

@above

The same can be said about teh xboyz and you can't deny that

xboy logic:

"-this game doesn't sell like teh haloez, so is BAD"

Unbelievable Delusional Fanboy Logic lol

Ps_alm3k5657d ago

then it is going to get competitive...why??
Because you have a w!! plus HD and a blu-ray/3d/dvd console.

Nihilism5657d ago (Edited 5657d ago )

You honestly think parents will buy ps3's for their kids just because of the sony wand??

when they go to the shop and the wii is cheaper + has a whole aisle of kids games, which one do you think they'll buy?

EDIT:

before everyone jumps on me, i'm not saying the wii is better value, but the eye wand will be marketed at the casual market, and they don't care about blu ray etc

masterg5657d ago

@dchalfont

They will because of 3 things.

1. Daddy wants to play too.
2. Their kids talk about the PS3.
3. Both parent want to be able to see HD movies.

Nihilism5657d ago

If parents wanted a ps3, they would have one already, that's not to say they won't buy the wand, they probably will, but it won't sell consoles

RememberThe3575657d ago

"Plan on selling 4-5MM units WW."
http://www.gamezine.co.uk/n...

Those aren't the kind of numbers that sell PS3's. People often forget that Sony is known for it more niche products.

Ju5657d ago

People buy Wii's for party games and Wii fits. No other console will deliver that. Not Wand, and not Natal. Both will be a failure. Combined with the "kiddy" image for the Wii, moms will continue to buy Wii's.

HD consoles need more kids friendly contents. And PSFit or something.

NA = World

Hmm, see how irrelevant NPD is when compared to the entire world?

dtrain215657d ago

Doesn't every country know that the world is North America !

Obama5657d ago

It's funny how the bots sometimes argue: "Why do you care about jp or Europe data??? You don't live there!!"

Nihilism5657d ago

they're probably all republican "we're american so we buy american products!"

sikbeta5657d ago

Don't why the disagrees, but guys enough with that

I can understand what are you saying but It seem like some comrades can't, so lets just leave this way

nintendo would sell a dump load more if they broung more different colored wii's like the past systems.still waitng on black(PS3 for the win)

Nihilism5657d ago (Edited 5657d ago )

I wonder what happened to that, all the information about the wii before launch said they would, they even had pics, having a lime green Wii would be green awesome

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.

It Has Been Over 2,500 Days Since The Elder Scrolls 6 Was Revealed

It's been officially over 2,500 days since The Elder Scrolls 6 was revealed, and fans are still waiting for more than a logo and a mountain range.

It will come out in another 1000-2000 days or so. I’d rather they remake Morrowind. After they added quest arrows, sprint button, making stats lesser and the big nerfs to spells Elder Scrolls has been too simplified. They could change that with ES6 but I don’t have much faith in modern Bethesda. I would love to be wrong

Wait until he hears about Star Citizen...

Halo: Combat Evolved Remake reportedly planned to release in late 2026

Xbox Game Studios' Halo: Combat Evolved Remake is reportedly planned to release in late 2026 to celebrate 25 years of Xbox.

Dear God it's been 4 years since infinite and no official update on anything lol.

Tacoboto4d ago

No official update on anything?

They replaced studio leadership
They changed the studio name
They announced the change to UE5
... all while supporting Infinite

The support to Infinite isn't what it originally should have been but they've still been providing tons of official updates over the years, and as recently as two months ago added a brand new weapon.

GamerRN4d ago

I think remaking Halo Combat Evolved, and going to 2 and 3 again, will help give the studio an idea of how to make a Halo game feel like Halo again

Tacoboto3d ago

Infinite did feel like Halo, that's not what the complaints were...

The complaints were almost literally everything else. Monetization, netcode and desync, the campaign structure, story, and single biome, the weaker-than-expected post-launch content.

InUrFoxHole3d ago

Gotta agree. Infinite felt like halo.

Profchaos4d ago

Dev times in modern days 4 years of silence isn't unheard of when things are running smoothly.

And around 6 months ago 343 did show a tech demo of ue5 using halo assets so it's not radio silence.

Given all the shake ups i am more surprised we're getting anything next year at all.

RaidenBlack4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

They coulda started with Halo 3 remake ... I know Halo CE remaster was not proper with the art style but still, remaking after a remaster seems dull, when Halo 3 and Reach have started to show some age.

PhillyDonJawn4d ago

Yeah I hate they used Halo reach artstyle. Hope this remake feel authentic yet fresh

--Onilink--4d ago

Probably the simplest to work around with. They are reportedly doing it in UE5, so its just as much an Anniversary thing, as its probably the studio getting familiar and setting up their tools and processes in the engine with an actual game, to facilitate the development of the next Halo

Profchaos4d ago

I'm guessing combat evolved has a smaller scope in general the later half of the game features a ton of backtracking and reused assets making it a easier game to remake on a deadline

Its also a better choice if this is the first game to be multiplatform mind you I think it's pretty much a given that anyone with a passing curiosity has played this by now in some way be it pc or brought a used console for a few bucks

darthv724d ago

This will likely come to PS5 at the same time. 25 years of XB.... shared with PS.

Obscure_Observer4d ago

It´s gonna be among best sellers on PS Store next year regardless.

raWfodog3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I would love to see Lost Odyssey come over to PS5. I would definitely buy that again. That was the first game that I played on my 360. Loved the story and battle system. One of the best JRPGs of all time in my opinion.
