Really disappointing numbers for Far Cry 3, it deserves much more. The US has becomes casual central, top games are Kinect and Wii casual titles and I'm beginning to think all those 360 sales are the Wii Soccer Moms moving on to Kinect. Looks like Microsoft's huge marketing for Kinect payed off in the USA. At least all sales are up across all platforms. So much for the game industry "dying". PSV selling quite well now, I got one on black friday and am happy with more PSV sales. Means more games will be on their way.

Welshy4942d ago

Maybe once Bioshock Infinite has seen the light of day, Bioshock Vita will get some love to help boost the Vita that little bit further again.

It's been slow to catch on, but after Black Friday, all consoles and handhelds have had a nice pre-holiday kick.

OT: i'm speaking in general terms, not basing my comments off VGchartz. The fact that this site is still given credit and regularly appears on top of N4G every week is crazy.

Ezz20134942d ago

this is vgchartes
don't ever believe any numbers they give

sak5004942d ago

Only believe when they spout numbers for EU showing ps3 higher numbers right?

Ezz20134942d ago

@sak500

i never trust them
keep that in mind

i only go by sony and ms numbers

chukamachine4942d ago (Edited 4942d ago )

All fake numbers.

They have magically brought the gap to 2million again.

Godchild10204942d ago

The best way is to wait and see what their quarterly earnings are come Next Year. While these numbers can't be trusted, I'm sure the 360 and Ps3 are going to meet up with sales numbers at some point and one or maybe both will reach the Wii numbers.

Muerte24944942d ago

Even though Sony is probably going to show that they passed Microsoft (again) people are going to think they're adding in January because they're won't report their quarterly reports until early Feburary while Microsoft will post theirs mid-January. Just like what happened this quarter. But yeah, it's better just to wait until the quarterly reports come out.

Riderz13374942d ago

Vgchartz is becoming irrelevant. IRRELEVANT.

Hicken4941d ago

Becoming? The only thing they're good for is perpetuating ignorance.

Belking4941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

It may be off but not by much. Those numbers are very close to the real ones.. MS is approaching the Wii sales in the U.S. Eventually they will pass them. Sony is so far behind in the US market that they may not be able to make it up in time for the next gen. Also, the 3ds is really putting a whipping on the vita. Americans sure do love buying xbox 360 games. Over 50% of that list is xbox360 games. MS has certainly built a strong brand name with the xbox.

VGChartz is very very accurate. Ithink NPD data is not quite accurate

majiebeast4941d ago (Edited 4941d ago )

Lol the official sales report isnt accurate but a site made by a 360 fanboy, that got banned off neogaf is? LOL.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle58d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7758d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg64d ago

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Smellsforfree64d ago

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Loktai64d ago

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
