So according to VGChartz, during the first 3 weeks in the USA DMC4 sold

1) 195,872
2) 85,424
3) 62,364

Which I'm roughly gonna estimate at 340k. The NPD numbers (which is pretty much the official numbers) for February, DMC4 sold around 230k. In other words, the numbers are way off.

Sevir046656d ago

if it's shipped then it wouldn't be a big deal announcing such a number.

keep in mind this is also world wide. Not NA, as NPD looks at NA numbers only in japan total to date according to Media creates #s 300K, and in NA NPD has clocked it in at 340+K and EU and UK accounts for the rest acording to VGcharts, either way the game has sold quite well.

Brian Peppers6657d ago

Rubbish. Someone pulled these numbers out of their ass.

sonarus6657d ago

Agree that the numbers are BS. Considering VGchartz over estimated 360 DMC4 sales by almost 400 thousand in NA which is where the bulk of DMC4 sales are from. With the great lead provided by DMC4 in JP and DMC4 being almost neck and neck on both platforms in EU and NA, I would say the lead is a lot larger than 60,000 actually more regardless, none of the versions have reached the 1 million mark. VGchartz is full of blaphemy

Sevir046657d ago

capcom has come out and said it that DMC4 has sold over 2 million worldwide. I'll take Capcom over VGcharts any day. with that being said i'm sure that it's sold both well on the PS3 and the Xbox 360, it's a new game from capcom on the xbox platform and a great franchise on the the Sony platform. why wouldn't a high profile title such as that sell great on either and not sell in excess of 1 million on each platform?

pwnsause6657d ago

Brian I told you, go back to YTMND with ronald and Sean Connery.

sonarus6657d ago

capcom refers to shipped not sold. How did capcom get the estimates of over 2 million when it has sold most on ps3 and ps3 hasn't even crossed the 1 million point yet. At least according to NPD data

Blademask6657d ago

Ehh Considering NPD's numbers.. i think its safe that N4G retires VGCHARTZ...

beoulve6657d ago

we will have a ceremony soon.

tidus0076657d ago

According to NPD

DMC4 --PS3 and X360 versions are very close in sales

233k vs 293k

VGCHARTZ has x360 version over 500k

Plus VGCRAP's JAN+FEB numbers are FULLY FAKE

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

VG 's numbers for JAN+FEB

X360 == 631,000
PS3 = 564,000

X360 leads by 66k

IN REALITY

X360 == 484000
PS3 = 551,000

IN REALITY PS3 leads by 66k

STOP posting VGCRAP's numbers

meepmoopmeep6657d ago (Edited 6657d ago )

so by ratio the PS3 sold twice as much.

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

ABizzel1415d 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)

Vits415d ago

Well, it worked.

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

Pyrofire95414d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic414d ago (Edited 414d 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.

lellkay415d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq1415d 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.

Flenter415d ago

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

fsfsxii415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay415d ago (Edited 415d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name415d 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."

VersusDMC776d ago

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

VersusDMC776d 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.

Exvalos775d ago

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

Cacabunga775d 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

Friendlygamer776d 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

monkey602776d ago (Edited 776d 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_Suzumiya776d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde776d 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

SeTTriP776d 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.

Aaroncls7854d 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.

Sephiroushin852d ago (Edited 852d 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.
