hmmm
PS3 only 9g behind..
Wow Fuse sold horrible.

animegamingnerd4725d ago

i was expecting the life time could be around half a million but its not even probably going to get close to their

One4U4725d ago

yea same , this could put a dent on insomniac since it was in development for 3 yrs !

buddymagoo4725d ago

Fuse selling so poorly will probably make Insomniac think twice about making any more Multi-plats.

Sashamaz4725d ago

I've always thought insomniac was too small for multi-platform games but I might be wrong.

kneon4725d ago

Well it is VG chartz so they could be off by as much as an order of magnitude.

But if they are anywhere close to reality then Grid 2 and Metro last light are also doing really crappy numbers.

3-4-54725d ago

Didn't Pachter say Fuse would sell like 5+ million ?

kneon4725d ago

Really, that's a pretty stupid prediction, even for him :)

Karpetburnz4725d ago

Thank you Sony for not giving up when when we needed you most, I can't wait to experience another generation of world class gaming with our loving community, thank you Sony for showing us the way.

The loving way is the Sony way.

warewolfSS4725d ago

Are you serious or are you just kidding?

Knushwood Butt4724d ago

Preach on, brother Karpetburnz.

DivineAssault 4725d ago

Idk why the US favors xbox so much.. I guess all the exclusives that sony releases doesnt interest this country.. I sold my 360 because there wasnt enough exclusive games i liked that didnt have guns.. Oh well, to each his own

brich2334725d ago

thiers alot of us in the US addicted to xbox live party chat.

Geezus4725d ago

Yes! Party chat is awesome

KrystofKage4725d ago

This is the one thing PS3 owners have been asking for since launch, but it never happened. Bundling each xbox with a headset was a smart move as well.

But for $60 a month? Thats brutal.

DarkHeroZX4725d ago

Vita has party chat and its free. It has nothing to do with the service but the hardware. Ps3's split ram and larger OS footprint is why it can't do party chat. The vita has 512mb system ram and 128vram and a tiny OS.

brich2334725d ago

Its not 60$ a month. I only pay $36 a year. Its always on sale online somewhere like ebay. So thats like 3$ a amonth.

DivineAssault 4725d ago

@ KrystofKage, XBLG is $60/YEAR not per month.. Its still BS though because u cant even send voice messages to your friends without it.. Ill be sticking with sony nx gen.. Since vita has party chat & its a handheld, i know for sure that PS4 will.. Plus online multiplayer is free as well.. See i dont mind paying money to these companies as long as my money is well spent.. PS Plus is worth the $50/YEAR because of the instant game collection you get on both PS3 & PSV.. Not to mention PS4 whenever it arrives.. Then you get fantastic discounts on DLC, games, etc..

XBLG only gets you online multiplayer & party chat for the $60/yr.. Its a better network n all but not that much better.. PS3 wasnt designed for all these media features they added to it which is sonys own fault & M$ 1 upped em on but they patched it the best they could & this time PS4 is built for all these things.. So was vita & theyre both designed to work with each other instead of patched together like before..

Vita has great network options so PS4 will be even better.. Ill set my vita on a stand to video chat with friends while getting some points in Killzone on the PS4... Or use it as a 2nd screen for maps/inventory on other games..

XBOX is US domestic product. If you are true American you will buy XBOX hahha (j/k)

dc14725d ago

The only thing that's domestic about the XBOX is there corporate office address.

You can love the XBox all you want...just stop the tomfoolery.

sengoku4725d ago

lol
it's still made in china.

Gracchus4725d ago

Some of the difference can be accounted for by repeat purchases after the dreaded RROD strikes. Some people are on their 4/5/6th Xbox. Nevertheless, Xbox certainly has captured the bro gamer market and that's a huge demographic.
Any figures out there showing how many unique users there are of PS3 vs Xbox 360?

kneon4725d ago

I don't know anyone IRL that isn't on at least their 3rd 360.

And some of the delusions and misinformation is astounding. I've met people who thought COD was an xbox exclusive or that couldn't believe that you didn't have to pay to play online on any other platform, they just thought it was normal.

demonddel4725d ago (Edited 4725d ago )

@ Kneon most ppl who play games don't care about exclusive only ppl who cares about this is u silly kids I assume giving you something to brag about like it's urs and nobody else can get it but keep up the good work yall are very entertaining

kneon4725d ago (Edited 4725d ago )

Exclusives are the main reason to pick one platform over another. If it weren't for exclusive many people would just use the PCs they already own rather than buy a console.

Perhaps you don't care about exclusives because your platform of choice doesn't have any that are worthwhile.

demonddel4725d ago

@kneon lil bruh u so silly I'm with the majority I buy whatever game I like no matter what console it's on whether it's exclusive or not I don't brag

elhebbo164725d ago

@demon yes because TLOU is for silly kids.

kneon4725d ago

@demonddel

Who's bragging? All I'm saying is if you're going to choose one console over another then the main factor is the exclusives. Otherwise why pick a console at all?

If you don't care about the exclusives then don't bother with a conole, use your PC. Unless it's horrendously out of date then it should provide decent quality visuals. And if you've got the money you can blow away any console in terms of performance.

Plus with a PC it's typically more reliable and often cheaper to repair when something does go wrong.

Microsoft is an American company ppl tend to buy their countrys own product. PS3 still sells a lot in America tho.

Rageanitus4725d ago (Edited 4725d ago )

I prefer my PS3 over my Xbox by a long shot because of the exclusives..... but I primarly play my PC for their exclusives and BETTER quality multiplatform games

Having said that the Xbox have quite a few games that are found only on xbox and PC making it seem like an EXCLUSIVE. But many ppl are console only players making the xbox seem like it has quite a few exclusives

Another factor is the multiplatform games tend to run better on the xbox vs the ps3, and xbox live does help quite a bit.

Having it priced cheaper at a base point always helps also, especially when many of the top games are sold from multiplatform games. So logically If I wanted to play only multiplatform games since my friends play those games why would the person pay 50>100$ more for the PS3.

Having said all this that , the best gaming combination IMO is the PC + Ps3, this will be the same for me next gen.

elhebbo164725d ago

well not all of the US since me and all my friends only play on PS3. there used to be time where PS was dominant in the whole US (PS2, PS1 era).

elhebbo164725d ago

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.

solideagle17d 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

Relientk7717d 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.

jznrpg23d 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.

Smellsforfree23d 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.

Loktai22d 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.
