"LOL VG put ps4 at 5.1m when last week it was higher... also ps4 is at 5.3m so i dont understand where this idiot getting hes numbers from. he seems to cut ps4 numbers off insted of adding them."

As so many people have pointed out, vgchartz is just some kid who is a massive Xbox fan making up fake sales numbers.

With Sony giving real sales numbers two straight months apart he unable to make up PS4 numbers any lower than this. Otherwise he would have made up significantly lower PS4 numbers.

FlameHawk4481d ago

How so? VGChartz had 5.2 Million on Saturday but Sony just posted 5.3 mill a day ago. So how can some kid making up "fake" numbers be so close?

http://n4g.com/news/1458930...
Wow, I guess this "kid" is really good at making up numbers.

CryofSilence4481d ago

It's important to consider margin of error, which in this case is very small in favor for VGchartz.

Hocking4481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

There's no mystery as to how the kid makes up his fake sales numbers at vgchartz.

Take the latest official numbers and add on the average weekly sales since then.

For Sony consoles now take that number and make it smaller by an amount that he believes is just barely believable.

For Microsoft consoles he does the opposite.

PoSTedUP4481d ago

vita has been doing better i see. if sony has another ps4 commercial, please, just for three seconds of it show a vita with codGhosts and say "ps4 games anywhere". vita has been getting more love than it deserves tbh (games to units sold ratio), i just want it to really take off; can you imagine the games it would have then...? O_O.

LuaMaster4481d ago

It's too bad Sony didn't release real sales numbers this often with the PS3. They gave fake sales sites like vgchartz way too much room to lie about PS3 sales.

Hopefully Sony continues to not give vgchartz much room to lie about sales this gen.

The Xbox One total worldwide sales numbers are of course pure fantasyland.

Boody-Bandit4481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

So considering the source? It's safe to say right now the PS4 is outselling the XBOX ONE 3 to 1 world wide.

thorstein4481d ago

@Brutal... so is the PS3. Lulz. And the Xbone is barely outselling the Wii U? Wow.

FamilyGuy4481d ago

VG looks pretty legit to me, PS3 outselling X1 makes a lot of sense considering all the titles still coming to it. It's got so much life that it's hard to believe the PS4 is able to do so well.

S2Killinit4481d ago

3:1 PS4 to xbones. Imagine what happens wen PS4 comes out in Japan. I wonder how fast they buy though hmmm

These numbers are based on 2 weeks ago.

Lonnie184481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

PS4 probably around 5.6 now :)

Malphite4481d ago

Who cares if it's 5.6 or 5.4 or whatever. All I need to know is that it's selling like a mofo. It's by far the fastest selling console ever released which means that Sony will make tons of cash to invest in first party games.

Even as a high end PC gamer my jaw dropped after seeing the Order 1886 gameplay (hope it remains that quality). I'll buy the PS4 just for that. I still have my 600 bucks that I intended to spend on the Xbone (now I'm glad I didn't). Maybe I'll pick up one when Infamous launches so I can try that out.

PS3 outsold xone?

PS4 US sales are higher than worldwide xone sales?

Well at least it's clear that the majority of gamers aren't brand loyal, or at least not brand loyal for long. That's refreshing.

psman0124481d ago

I'm not too surprised the PS3 is doing better. Hell, the 500GB PS3 bundled with a game is only $279 from Gamestop. Plus there are hundreds of games available, with more to come. Not talking $hit about the Xbox One, but there haven't been too many great exclusives out yet, aside from maybe Forza 5.

Kiwi664481d ago

you could say same about ps4 as well in regard to exclusives i mean its still early in this gen for both

psman0124481d ago

I completely agree. The only reason I didn't say that is because the PS4 is doing significantly better in sales right now. If it was lower than the X1, then I'd be saying the same thing.

Prime1574481d ago

Not to mention Sony store sales, picked up puppeteer and rain, and a few other games for less than $20. Puppeteer was $7.50 and gamestop was selling it it at $35/$40 when that sale happened.

pupa4481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

PS4 140,308 (-15%)...@2.6:1 ratio
PS3 59,176 (-12%)....@1.1:1 ratio
XOne 53,670 (-22%)...@1:1 ratio

Nothing else to add! The facts are clear, even considering this is VGChartz!

LoL at PS3, that happens and proves that quality games count!

mochachino4481d ago

PS3 with PSN Plus may be the best place to game right now. A lot of cheap/free great games.

NatureOfLogic4482d ago

PS4 Japan release is around the corner. Go back into your cave Nintendo fanboy.

Thepharaoh4482d ago

Being happy that the best handheld on the market is in the top spot that it belongs suddenly makes me a fanboy of Nintendo?

Out of all the people who have any place calling people a fanboy you have no place good sir

Whelp back to my cave as you instructed now that I'm done here

PSNintyGamer4481d ago

Giving the 3ds credit makes him a fanboy? Get the f*** out of here

KonsoruMasuta4481d ago

He is just happy for the 3DS. I would get it if he said something about the PS4 or something.

Vegamyster4481d ago

So it's alright for Sony fans like yourself to brag about sales but as soon as someone does it for Nintendo they're a fanboy? Hypocrite lol.

SilentNegotiator4481d ago

Why is it that it "should be" on top? What was wrong with it being slightly behind the most popular, new console?

thorstein4481d ago

I am certainly glad it is doing well. The 3Ds gives me my Nintendo fix without having to get a new console. My PS4 is hogging the TV too much.

XabiDaChosenOne4481d ago

By only one thousand but in more territories?

Eonjay4481d ago (Edited 4481d ago )

Sorry, they adjusted the chart. PS4 was undertracked. Its now on top.

Everybody grows up at some point.

T24481d ago

It's run by a random kid, just copying Avg sales. You could probably do better yourself

Minato-Namikaze4481d ago

Easier to be accurate now early in the gen. Sony provides numbers regularly.

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

Naughty Dog was reportedly divided on the controversial fate of Joel in The Last of Us Part 2 during the game's development.

Cacabunga30d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot29d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose30d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE30d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername29d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy30d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde30d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8630d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8630d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300030d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

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
