PS4 with almost 1 million lead already?!

That's impressive. Now hurry up and restock those shelves, Sony, or I'll have to fit revolving doors on my house for my impatient mates! :)

xHeavYx4531d ago (Edited 4531d ago )

Not surprising, if they could meet demand they'd be a lot further ahead

mikeslemonade4531d ago

The heck is going on with WiiU software sales.. Those kids actually buy there games. Such a 180 from last gen when the systems sold but the software sales were weak.

TomShoe4531d ago (Edited 4531d ago )

Playstation Domination. That is all.

When you look at it, there is a surprising lack of certain..."people" in this thread...

@mikes A lot of the people that bought Wii's when they were popular were very casual gamers like little kids, females, and the elderly. That was just a perfect storm, and a lot of those gamers either moved to PS4/X1/3DS or just stopped gaming altogether.

Infamous2984531d ago

PS4 will have third party exclusives just like the PS2 had, i hope ps4's game library match the ps2's game library.

FITgamer4530d ago

@TomShoe They obviously been through here, look at all the phantom disagrees.

Shnazzyone4530d ago

Oh I'll show up... Wii U, still holdin it's lead. Wii U software sales are good because we got games. #reality

xHeavYx4530d ago

@ above
Lol, you are comparing a year worth of sales to a couple months, it week take 1 or 2 months to next gen consoles to surpass the WiiU

pyramidshead4531d ago

Demand is certainly unprecedented. Much deserved. Once they get their supply sorted they'll be hitting the ground running.

bleedsoe9mm4530d ago

not unprecedented wii's were hard to find for a full year

BelkingOfSony4531d ago

its vgchartz, the lead is likely to be over 1 million. if only sony had the supply to meet the crazy demand, they would be miles ahead of xbone and already at the wii u total.

torchic4531d ago

ha! props on the username :D

Sarcasm4531d ago

Wii U isn't doing too bad. But well see how it goes the next few months

pyramidshead4531d ago

was just about to say that actually. That's a healthy plus percentage.

InTheLab4531d ago

There's no games due out in the next few months and they're about to be overtaken by 2 2month old consoles. That's exceptionally bad.

Yeah they've had a good Holiday but only because they've done terrible all year long.

pootymcpoockle4531d ago

Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze in February, and numerous Q1 titles with non specific release dates. January Direct will show off what the next few months have in store.

kwandar4531d ago

I haven't been able to buy and keep up with titles as it is!

Finishing Deus Ex DC now. Next I'm looking at getting Rayman Legends and Wonderful 101.

Really ... so many "good" games on Wii U at the moment I won't need anything for a bit.

BosSSyndrome4530d ago

dude mario kart comes out in march.

Infamous2984531d ago

I just hope wii u comes in the second place this gen.

LOL_WUT4530d ago

Don't count on it the X1 will most likely take 2nd place just look at what Microsoft managed to pull off with the 360. ;)

Ju4530d ago

Yeah...360 is already 3rd. They managed to do that.

_QQ_4531d ago (Edited 4531d ago )

NSMBU was at 1mil 9 months ago and now its around 3.5 mil, just goes to show how Nintendo games sell over time.

GordonKnight4530d ago (Edited 4530d ago )

It was also put in a bundle. That helped sell it. I have the game and it's great game. The thing about Nintendo games the high quality holds their value. Not many games sale for the launch price years after its release.

MsmackyM4531d ago

Wow, the Xbox One doesn't have at least one title in the top 30.

TheFallenAngel4531d ago

I thought this was the week where the Wii u outsold the xbone?

Ol_G4530d ago

Vgchartz not gonna put Nintendo above Microsoft

Concertoine4530d ago

they predicted the wii u sold better they had wii u numbers almost exactly at 319,000, but they were 50,000 off on the xbone which they said sold 307,000

LOL_WUT4530d ago

Lol it never outsold the X1 that was just a sensationalist headline NintendoEnthusiast used to get hits. ;)

BelkingOfSony4531d ago (Edited 4531d ago )

PS4 almost 1 million lead over xbone. PS4 World Domination!!!!

(considering this is vgchartz, and they have a reputation of undertracking sony console sales, the lead is likely to be over 1 mil)

hatsume-miku4531d ago

3DS world domination you mean...

InTheLab4531d ago

Well, Nintendo is to handhelds what Sony is to Consoles..

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025

O'Dell Harmon Jr. writes: "Before we say goodbye to 2025, let’s take a look back and see what were the most downloaded games of the year. It was a great time for sports, shooters, and some new PlayStation VR2 games. Sports favorites topped the charts in US/Canada and EU, with NBA 2K26 and EA Sports FC26, respectively.

Juggernaut GTA V found a home in the top three for both regions, with new 2025 release Battlefield 6 claiming second place in the US. Fortnite took top place for free-to-play games, and Beat Saber continues its PS VR2 success."

FH5 4th in Europe compared to North America 14th. Not surprising.

LucasRuinedChildhood136d ago

I think it shows how shortsighted it was for Sony to let go of Evolution and not get them to make some sort of competitor (open world Driveclub?) 10 years ago.

bionicstar135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

its a hard bet to make. hindsight is always 20/20.

Christopher135d ago

After Driveclub's reception, hard to say it would have done well enough to compete. It's easy to dream of such a thing, but to make it happen? It's taken how long for CoD to be dethroned? And it was dethroned by Hogwart's Legacy and has gained it right back just the next year.

It’s funny to watch the only games EU and USA agree on was Minecraft and back ops 7 both regions on 6 and 7 spot respectively other than that FIFA rules EU

I would like to see a list that has both free to play and paid games together, but at least we have this.

To this day GTA5 is a top downloaded game and it makes me wonder if the industry is really ready for GTA6. I imagine almost nothing else will sell during that game's release window.

I’ve never played Fortnite GTAV or CoD BO7 but I do own GTAV for PS4/5 because I got them cheap.

gold_drake144d ago

i think we should either take those games out, or make a singleplayer list too ha

badboyz09143d ago

I still play gta V alot. The others nah.

Popsicle143d ago

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Tacoboto143d ago

What exactly are we not getting?

Did we not just have a 2025 filled with nice games like...

Silksong, Doom TDA, Expedition 33, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Ghost of Yotei, Dispatch, Split Fiction, Hades 2, DK Bananza, and so many more?

Popsicle143d ago

Agree that all you just posted are great games. Expedition 33 is one of my favorites. Spent a large chunk of time on BG3 in 2023. Another for my all-time list.

My point though not well articulated in the OG post is that we would get more of the games of the quality you mentioned if so many valuable resources were not allocated to FTP slop and/or heavy monetization schemes. Some of what used to be my favorite franchises have been ruined by them.

To sum it up, I would like to see games like 33 outperform the profits made by games like Fortnite so more resources are allocated to great games. When heavily monetized FTP games are at the top of the list, we end up being stuck with a significant chunk of games that are not good. Or worst case scenario games that spend years in development, but get cancelled due to industry trend chasing.

cloganart143d ago

Such a pessimistic view. This year gave so many good games.

Christopher143d ago

Popsicle, I actually think we're getting more great games because of the slop. Developers are seeing that people aren't happy and taking advantage of big AAA studios not delivering for people.

Popsicle143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

Perhaps, and I hope you’re right. A shift is needed IMO
