"The video game industry is very similar to sports in the sense that stats are analyzed, argued over and then reanalyzed again to the point that it's hard to tell what all the numbers really mean. Industry execs and even fanboys like to throw out numbers monthly depending on whether or not those numbers promote that individuals argument or business position. There's one thing that can't be debated and that is the simple breakdown of launch-to-date sales in the United States."
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."
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

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.
in the US though? Japan sells a lot more I think. Wow though on Nintnedo DS sales!
Hmm the article's chart shows two NDS and no PS3. I take it that PS3 is the second NDS. /s
Who I'm kidding, USA is indeed a tough country to crack, Sony. Thanks goodness I'm an European living in Europe, Sony's strong market.
In the US huh?
here in Europe it's doing really good job with huge sellers such as FIFA 11 and Gran Turismo 5.
its sad how me me me me american journalism is. The ps3 will soon be number 2 worldwide and the 260 will be dead last. Whats the better position now?
And the FUD begins. Far behind in the US, yet somehow you fail to mention the 2.1 million unit difference worldwide. As for the Wii...we know its won.
