Nintendo made a graph: Weekly sales show huge PS3 price cut spike

Nintendo's financial briefing last week included a graph for up-to-date European hardware sales figures. The red line represents PS3. PS3 sales went from around 20,000 a week to 60,000 thanks to the new 40GB model and the price slashing of the 60GB model, overtaking Xbox 360 and almost managing to outsell the Wii - but not quite. It is still by far the best sales PS3 has managed since its launch weeks.

That can't be right. I think the PS3 sold around 107,000 the week after the price cut yet that graph only shows the highest to just over 60,000.

ruibing6015d ago

It's still good news for Sony.

gtgcoolkid6015d ago

I thought there were couple of weeks where PS3 was above hundred thousand.

jaja14346015d ago

Well its for Europe, which honestly who cares about anything outside of US, so it probably doesn't includes US/Japan/wherever sales.

Foliage6015d ago

"which honestly who cares about anything outside of US"

Nintendo and Sony do, and it shows.

neil_19806014d ago

And what makes you think anyone out side the US cares about anything to do with the US?

Seriously man, you the American version of Hitler or something?

Coffin876014d ago (Edited 6014d ago )

"who cares"??

well, 1st of all, i care, cause i live in europe, and all this anti-sony news on the .com websites really doesn't represent the general mood in europe.

2ndly, sony and ms care, and both of them KNOW this: sony = (europe + japan), ms = n.america. it IS a tendency, and if some of you americans just don't care, well.. i gotta say it's pretty sad to see how confined some of you are..

malingenie6014d ago

How can someone with xenophobic messages like you have so many bubbles?

The Swordsman6014d ago

Multiple accounts, perhaps? Or is that just jumping to conclusion?

Rasulis6014d ago (Edited 6014d ago )

Jaja you give educated Americans, such as me, a horrible image. Please stop spouting such ignorant lines.

The question is if the sale rate of the ps3 will be sustainable or if this was just people waiting for the 400 Dollar price drop? I personally don't think the sales will sustain anywhere near this level for an extended period of time.

jaja14346014d ago

Haha so many lovely comments I got.

To those who live in Europe, obviously you care but you should realize that my comment is directed toward those who live in other countries outside of Europe.

To those who said MS and Sony cares. Really you think? Maybe I should have worded my post to mean why should "you" care, but I thought that would have been obvious. So my bad on that part...

And lastly my dear friend who is an educated American. How is what I said giving "you" a bad name? Its a gaming console... Now if I said who cares about their political/economical/social stability then sure you could claim I'm uneducated. But in the grand scheme of things a gaming console means absolutely jack. Don't misconstrued this to mean it means nothings as it is a fast growing industry, but as far as world politics go, its means jack. Being an educated American I would expect you to know the difference.

The guy who said I'm xenophobic...I sorry what? Xenophobia is the fear of something foreign, usually a type of people. So how in the hell do you get that out of my post?

This is bull. if there had been such a spike in wii sales I think we would have noticed already.

riqued6015d ago

A company as big as Nintendo would probably notice it before us and have more sources than any of us...

REbirth6014d ago

i still don't understand why people keep buying the wii...the stupid console ever...if people want fun with low graphics or low power the ps2 is cheaper and has more variety of games:P

Ares846015d ago

..that chart is from Nintendo. What did you guys expect to see??? Sony going over Nintendos sales??? Stop kidding yourselfs!!

The chart is all wrong...Nintendo haven't skyrocketed like that!

Rooftrellen6015d ago

Since you know better, I trust you can provide us with a link ot a source that's more reliable?

Proxy6015d ago

They make a profit on every Wii, if it was selling 10 a week they'd be happy, although not AS happy as they currently are.

bestgamer946015d ago

idk i think it's a misleading graph some how it looks like it
but i can't back it up so whatever

kevoncox6015d ago

Why would Nintendo lie.
They have never jus lied before.

Drano6014d ago

This is a Corporation, not the Pope. They've got a "nice guy" image but they've got their dirty secrets too, just like any company. And before anyone panics, I'm not saying they're jack@sses, just saying that they COULD modify the numbers at their advantage. This is pure speculation.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

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."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer4h ago

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

monkey6023h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde2h ago

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

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

RavenWolfx1h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro9h ago

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.

Knightofelemia7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

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.

Terry_B7h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21837h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh6h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia6h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins7h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal6h ago

The first game was the best imo.
