Well you see *insert lame excuse here* that's why the PS4 sells more.

I hope these numbers help Japanese devs jump aboard regardless of how PS4 performs in Japan.

its that the Japanese devs will infact be on board. this actually entices them more. they have a system that is not only popular in Japan (well not as popular seeing that the games that are JPN focused are not all out yet, but that will change soon), but its also very popular overseas. so yes I expect a mass exodus of Japanese devs to go on board with the PS4 soon either as lead console platform or as exclusive.

randomass1714437d ago

I thought it was a given that PS4 appeals to the western market and just doesn't have many Japanese games on it to entice Japanese gamers. There's no excuse for it, PS4 is doing well in US and UK because it appeals to those markets. And because Sony's PR ain't crap.

Mankey4437d ago

This is actually a good point. Is sad to see those who were once know for perfecting the console gaming experience divert so much attention to mobile free to play experiences.

Hopefully all this success around the world will show them there is still lots of demand for their games.

Mystogan4437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

I find it very impressive that the Xbox One manages to keep up even with all the negativity. Mostly thanks to Titanfall. This generation is far from over like some people like to think it is. Saying things like "Sony already won this gen" lol.
We're less than 6 months in this Gen if I'm not mistaken.
And already the tide has been turning massively towards the Xbox One. Nothing but good news has been coming out lately. Power of the cloud has been officially demonstrated and it works just as they said it would. Phil Spencer is officially Head of Xbox. Regular updates to improve the User Experience. ID@Xbox has received nothing but praise from indie devs. DirectX 12 coming to X1 too. And we were promised a Huge gaming focused E3 conference with lots of exclusives, it might be the best E3 conference for Xbox yet maybe even THE best off all time.

All is well for Xbox fans :)

"I find it very impressive that the Xbox One manages to keep up even with all the negativity. Mostly thanks to Titanfall."

It's not keeping up it's falling further behind, despite Titanfall, which was THE game XB1 fans were looking forward to. With the system seller included and a price drop, XB1 is still being outsold.

"Power of the cloud has been officially demonstrated"

Not unless there's been another showing I'm not aware of, that included details on the PCs and connections used.

Ms losing their biggest markets, dont have a chance ww, their only chance was to dominate Us and UK by 2:1 just to stay close, now they are even losing there...OUCH.

Ausbo4437d ago

I agree. But lets face it. Sony was gonna beat Microsoft anyway this gen

4437d ago
tuglu_pati4437d ago

MS never had a chance winning WW that is a fact.

truefan14437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

Infamous already getting outsold 2 weeks after launch, OUCH!!! This is showing that shooters are still valued higher than single player games. People are buying ps4 ' off hype, this will shape up nicely by the middle of next year for XB1 as people will prefer to play Destiny, Halo2, Evolve, The Division I on XB1 so their thumbs won't be touching while trying to enjoy a shooting game and they don't have to wait for ps4 maintenence to resume play. Ps4 shot out the blocks like a cannon, but it's finally starting to slow down. All in all NPD will show XB1 outsold ps4 in March in the UK.

FITgamer4437d ago

Your entire comment was sad, but this part "NPD will show XB1 outsold ps4 in March in the UK." was just hilarity. You know NPD is "US" sales only, not UK.

Infamous2984437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

"All in all NPD will show XB1 outsold ps4 in March in the UK."

Prepare to eat crow then.

Battlefield 4 and Cod are both shooters and both sold more on ps4, and i am properly sure that destiny, Evolve and the division will sell more on ps4. I have concluded from your comment is that you are just pathetic fanboy in denial.

Whiskeyjacked874437d ago

Bbbbbaaaaahahahahahahahahaha "middle of next year" Bahahahahahhaha you and all your lame excuses crack me up!

GarrusVakarian4437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

Your first sentence alone proves how upset you are at this news.

"All in all NPD will show XB1 outsold ps4 in March in the UK."

NDP is US only, truefan.

And if your thumbs are touching together while using the dualshock 4, then you must be controlling them with the joint in the middle of your thumbs, lmao. I use my thumb-tips and they don't ever touch. What an absolutely bogus criticism. People will be buying the PS4 versions of those games because they will most likely run and look better on the PS4 and have exclusive content. Just like how multiplats are selling much more on the PS4 than the X1 now for the same reasons.

Kayant4437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

"Infamous already getting outsold 2 weeks after launch" - By what TF? It has been there an extra week.

"People are buying ps4 ' off hype" - And why aren't there people buying XB1's in droves has it has the most exclusives atm? Then again knowing you that's the only reason you obviously see.

"this will shape up nicely by the middle of next year for XB1 as people will prefer to play Destiny, Halo2, Evolve, The Division on XB1" - For what reason considering they're both going to be using the same servers. How well Halo 2 will sell will be interesting.

" so their thumbs won't be touching while trying to enjoy a shooting game and they don't have to wait for ps4 maintenence to resume play" - Looool you're a funny person. It would seem the recent outrages XBL has had don't exist.

I wish I could see what Truefan looks like or what he does all day. I guess I just don't understand how someone can either be this delusional or troll purposely on every article.

Do you also mash the keyboard on your pc with those mongloid fingers, do they touch together? Lol... Actually in all seriousness you do in fact mash the keyboard as your posts are all mindless word salad....

Dang... Wii U and Vita sold about 2000 each. This saddens me. :(

NihonjinChick4437d ago

Those two platforms always do really bad on the UK charts. It surprises me.

randomass1714437d ago

Me too! With all the bonuses the UK gets, you'd think the Wii U would be doing better. As for the Vita, you would think it would be seeing the same boost it saw in other regions after the PS4 came out. :/

Goku7814437d ago

Unbelievable. Xbox One powered up as much as it could and barely even scratched PS4 domination. PS4 is almost invincible at this rate.

-Foxtrot35d 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…

HectixRose36d 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.

JEECE36d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername35d 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.

Soy36d ago

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

DarXyde36d 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.

Ashunderfire8636d 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.

Ashunderfire8636d ago (Edited 36d 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.

pwnmaster300036d 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.

solideagle36d 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

Relientk7736d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
