pretty depressing to see the two newest consoles the vita and Wii U have those numbers but at least the 3DS and PS3 are making up for those poor numbers hope both of them can turn around soon

chadboban4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

Hope so too man, there are so many people out there actually hoping for these consoles to fail. I'd love to see Vita and Wii U prove people wrong. On a positive note, I've heard that sales for Dragons Crown on the Vita were pretty solid considering it's a new IP and that there was also a PS3 version.

animegamingnerd4676d ago

i was on IGN yesterday and i saw someone wished nintendo would go bankrupt cause of the low specs of the Wii and Wii U and i was i like i wouldn't even wish that on EA or square enix the two companies that piss me off the most

ps3_pwns4676d ago

its because people are saving money for the ps4. no way am I gonna buy a wii u or vita right now when the ps4 is so close. don't want to blow my money load. but when ps4 hits its gonna be selling megaton.

Gaming needs more competitors, not less.

sherimae24134676d ago

some people are liked that, never mind them they are just fanboys not gamers, who in the right mind who would said a company should go bankrupt?!

vita and wii u is struggling and it can be turnaround, all it needs is to sell in the long run, not to outsell other consoles or handhelds it is enough to make ninty or sony gain their profits ^_^

psp sales - wtf?

It should clear 80 million easily in the end...not bad for a dead failed console

GribbleGrunger4676d ago

It's currently 500,000 shy of 80 million, so you're are correct, sir.

longcat4676d ago

What makes it hilarious is the amount of hate for it coupled with the fact that it is considered a failure.

Sure the software sales were poor, but that had to do with homebrew and the fact that a hacked psp was sooo much better.

Donnieboi4676d ago

Psp isn't dead in Japan, where portables are king. Psp has a massive install base. Not so much in the West though.

TongkatAli4676d ago

It isn't dead in Europe either. America isn't the world, the PSP got its use from America. Thinking of buying one for emulators

Williamson4676d ago

Yeah I agree that the PSP is far from being a failed console, had so many good games with great graphics. I spent countless hours playing some great RPGs on the PSP.

ps3_pwns4676d ago

I don't wish Nintendo go banckrupt I just hope they learn a lesson and there fanboys learn a lesson to and start acting like games matter and not just the Mario ones.

awesomeabe19984676d ago

I am pretty damn sure your trolling. Why? Games do matter, and no not just Mario ones. If you think Nintendo "fanyboys" think that, why is almost everyone Wii U owner excited about this fall and next year? Do you even know what is coming out for Wii U that is not Mario?

blackmanone4676d ago (Edited 4676d ago )

Sigh. C'mon, ps3_owns.

"I don't hate Nintendo, I just don't like every fanboy that isn't me."

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.

solideagle21d 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

Relientk7721d 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.

jznrpg27d 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.

Smellsforfree27d 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.

Loktai27d 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.
