considering GTA IV is coming in about 3 weeks we should start seeing the numbers go waaaayy up in the next weeks to come. Should be exciting to see what a game like that will do to console sales. Also how many copies will be sold on the first day, I already have my copy preordered from best buy so Im picking this up first day...I hope.

Edit: I just realized I lost a bubble and I havent commented in days :0^

Breakfast6625d ago (Edited 6625d ago )

lol...you shouldve commented.

I dropped a bubble one night, fell asleep and woke up with my normal count.

Edit: lol...i deserved that loss of a bubble, not so sure i deserved the bubble back.

Who cares for the big story, just comment on every topic :).

Edit 2: Oh and by the way, i helped you out a little.

TruthBTold6625d ago

you're right, I remember that did happen to me a while ago and then the next day my bubble came back...maybe tomorrow I will see it again. I havent commented on aything lately cause its been kindof the same news over and over again so nothing new to say that hasnt already been said. Im sure by the end of this month and after we shall see some new exciting things.

TruthBTold6625d ago

Thanks! Bubbles up to you too sir. I have read some of your comments in the past and to me they seemed neutral which shouldnt upset people but then again here you sometimes get disagrees for no reason.

Breakfast6625d ago

Im neutral...up until i want to cause some havoc...lol.

Virtuozius6625d ago

Numbers, soooo manyyyy nuuuumbers(((((

consolewar6625d ago

indeed. Now wait for the pie-chartz

InYourMom6625d ago

has VGChartz been right when compared to NPD?

At least the submitter got it right to put it as a rumor. Still refuse to approve anything from the made up site.

Breakfast6625d ago

lol...i wish i had come up with the idea of pulling numbers out of my ass, and shopping my site around on n4g.

Blademask6625d ago

Last time NPD had the trend right, but the trend really is A or B. Flip a coin. Perhaps they got lucky.....

Kaz Hirai6625d ago

Holy crap! King Kaz hasn't laughed this hard in his whole life!
The DEADBOX 360 is LOOSING in it's only "stronghold"! Nazisoft must be in panic! And right before GTA4!
How does it feel, PIGS? How does it feel to be backing the LOSER of the console wars?
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Sony Soldiers- I can barely contain myself! It's just SO FUNNY!!!!!!

MWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!

chaosatom3336625d ago

you're the reason, I opened my comment to accept one bubble comments.

Jamaicangmr6625d ago

Agreed this guy is just way too funny. Normally i'd be annoyed by comments such as this but Kaz i'll make an execption for. lol!

TheREALHarryEtTubMan6624d ago

LMAO So f'ing hilarious. I actually laugh out loud... literally... when I read his comments.

green6625d ago

iam finding it hard to believe the COD4 numbers for the 360.What could have caused the spike?it can't be DLC?

Okay just remembered that it's vgchartz.

ikiru33856625d ago

maybe it's the goty edition?

green6625d ago

Did not know that they released a game of the year edition.if so and also coupled with the DLC ,then that will explain the spike.

earwax6625d ago

The game has been on sale the last few weeks for under $50 bucks so the hold outs are buying it

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.

solideagle30d 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

Relientk7730d 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.

jznrpg36d 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.

Smellsforfree36d 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.

Loktai36d 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.
