Its obvious that this game was going to sell more copies on PS3 in Japan considering the ratio of PS3's to 360's is huge.

Im actually surprised that the 360 version is doing as well as 5 - 1 to be honest what with there probably being at least 50 PS3's to every 360 thats out over there if not many more.

We will see how the game sells in the rest of the world. I bet the ratios will be quite different!

What do you think?

SoulReaper6693d ago

I expected DMC4 the PS3 version to sell better world wide..I got the DMC collection series on the Playstation Brand its obvious I am getting 4th installment of the game to add to it...

hazeblaze6693d ago

Yea, I prefer the PS3 and all... but this is hardly news worthy. The article acts as if the results could have been any different!

jackdoe6693d ago

Actually, I believe the ratio is 10 PS3s to 1 360 over in Japan.

mikeslemonade6693d ago

This is old news for anyone who did the math.

Ju6693d ago

No surprise in Japan. I would guess PS3 version will outsell the 360 in Europe and will be close to it in the US.

JsonHenry6693d ago

In other news - the sky is blue.

Vash_The_Stampede6693d ago (Edited 6693d ago )

Actually its kinda grey right now for the 360. I see a lot of rain in your future. PS3 FTW

Back on topic: I have this game pre ordered as well, can't what to play it.

BobDog6693d ago

actually ps3 only recently ovetook 360 in europe, couple monhts ago, so if same amount of percentage buy the game the difference wouldnt be too great in ps3 favour

fusionboxer6693d ago

That DMC4 will sell better on the ps3 in the European regions as well as the Asian territories, but sell slightly less or equal to the 360 version in the US.

The reason for this is because the ps3 already has a nice share of single player quality action titles, while I'd say the 360 does not.

Now don't get me wrong. I loved dead rising, lost planet, kameo, Assassins Creed, and some of the others, but none of them have really been in the same vein (genre wise) as games like god of war, ninja gaiden, heavenly sword, or devil may cry if you kinda get what i'm saying.

DMC4 on the other hand will most likely be one of the 360's best traditional action titles at this point and I feel US 360 owners will most likely scoop up more copies then ps3 owners because of this.

Kausdt6693d ago

There are about 500-600k Xbox 360s in Japan, so there are somewhat 25-30 million PS3s also. My god, I hadn´t realized PS3 is so big in Japan...

BobDog6693d ago

is that a joke lol,
not even 15mil ps3s sold world wide

cmrbe6692d ago (Edited 6692d ago )

wrong post

cmrbe6692d ago

Kausdt was being sarcastic as there should be 30 milion PS3 in Japan if the PS3 version of DMC should outsell the x360 version by 50:1 as some of you expected. According to VG the PS3 is at 1.9 mill and x360 is .6 mill. This is a ratio of about 4:1 at most so PS3 DMC version outselling the x360 version by 5:1 is actually better than expected.

BobDog6692d ago (Edited 6692d ago )

thank you for clarification

i never expected 1 to sell better then the other in percentage, maybey abit more sway to ps3 because it use to be sont exclusive

lol now that i get it its actually quite funny

green6693d ago

not bad for both consoles considering their respective userbase.Was expecting 20,000 for 360 and 100,000 for PS3, but i was wrong.

is it out in the states?

INehalemEXI6693d ago

It comes out on 2/5 in the states. I pre order :D

Charlie26886693d ago (Edited 6693d ago )

I pre ordered too :D

I wish there would have been a pre order gift like in some other games :(

its available the 2/5 but depending of the seller it might be an extra day before its available like with other games

Rice6693d ago

wow, pretty deeep.... anyways 3-7... Patriots.

The_Engineer6693d ago

anyway Brady is getting cracked like a coke vile by the monstrous Giants defense.

RecSpec6693d ago

Whoever gets the first big lucky break will win this one. No one will budge.

Rice6693d ago

its cause there blitzing brady, he has to force the pass which the giants want to do.

BLUR1116693d ago

if i had a ps3 i would most deffently get this for it insted of the 360.

meepmoopmeep6693d ago

obviously expected given the userbase for each platform...

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel1412d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits412d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire95411d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic411d ago (Edited 411d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

lellkay412d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1412d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter412d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name412d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

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."

VersusDMC773d ago

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

VersusDMC773d 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.

Exvalos772d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga772d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer773d 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

monkey602773d ago (Edited 773d 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_Suzumiya773d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde773d 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

SeTTriP773d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls7850d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin849d ago (Edited 849d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.
