"Hello everyone, the new NPD sales numbers are out, and I wanted to share some new sales stats that have us excited here at PlayStation central.
For the month of November, PlayStation hardware unit sales exceeded 1.5 million units, including close to half-a-million PLAYSTATION 3 consoles. That's means nearly 4 times as many PS3s ended up in North American homes in November than the month before."
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
Over all SONY did well. But every one else in the console market is doing better.
edit:
I wonder if CRIPPLING DEATH will report this article lame? I bet he wont.
Time to put your boots on because the xbox fans are gonna come on and talk some Sh!T. I must say I was never a fan of burnout but this demo that i got yesterday i am def. picking up the game.
I smell a flame war brewing again.

Dammnnn Kids... hate it or love it but that Playstation(R) Brand is here to stay. Everyone is doing better if you compare there performance to how they usual stack up against a Sony machine then yeah they should rejoice. But no one comes close to Sony @ there best. Which isnt were they are now. Out of the big 3 I would be the most worried about the company who has yet to turn a positive profit since they entered the console game. Step it up playaz..that big bank account won't last forever.
it says PSs not PS3s... lol!!! a total combined sales of PS3s ps2s and PSPs... in NA alone. december should be doubled for everyone of those platforms
as i said in another thread. Sony should introduce a new bundle for the 40gig with 2 games versus the stupid movie. and they should be quite alright with NA. EU+UK+AU= 1 million combined, japan=300-400k. so in all if sony take head and do some serious marketing and bundles promoting the 40 and 80gig, in the US they should at least top 1 million. xbox 360 sold 1.8 million at a $400 dollar price point last christmas in NA alone the PS3 is now at that price with heavy marketing of their software and choice bundles they should do well enough to muster the same great effect.
i think Sony will do well, MS and nintendo will be fierce this holiday. doing things like bundles will seriously make the choice that much more easier.
^_^ well thats good to know I'm going back to play some call of duty 4 ownage online
