Pretty low PS3 numbers. The calm before the storm:|

iAmPS36569d ago (Edited 6569d ago )

Wait for the biggest storm in history of video games.

sl0w-m06569d ago

The "storm" already happened, the PS3 outsold the 360 for 2 months after Blu-ray won the format war and became more popular than HD-DVD. But i'm actually suprised to see the numbers drop this much this month

chaosatom3336569d ago (Edited 6569d ago )

you guys are commenting on Vgcharts. VGCHARTS, I say.

Those numbers are FALSE, fabricated, made up for fanboys to argue.

Remind Silogon down me that those numbers are FALSE.

dexterwang6569d ago

The calm before the storm indeed.

Before the tsunami hits, the water line recedes, and the further it goes back, the stronger the tsunami... what a storm we'll have in 9 days

dan-boy6569d ago

last week there was a thread from mvcuk saying that the 360 was selling more than the ps3 in the uk...then lo and behold, vgchartz estimates yesterday put the 360 in front in the uk. after putting it behind for ages.

then after the npd figures had microsoft infront by a thousand last month in NA, after vgchartz was predicting sony had sold 50K more, they now "estimate" that microsoft beat sony by just over 200....hmmm. times the amount that the 360 sold more by 4(approx weeks in month) then you have a thousand.

basically, vgchartz has no f^&*ing clue, and just grab some figures from anywhere....vgchartz should be banned until they are proven fact.

Silogon6569d ago

Wow, Ps3 has got desimated this week. What gives here? Gta4 is under preforming on the console and now just 1 week out from mgs4 and its sales are this lacking? This isn't good for anyone invested in Sony. A consumer or developer.

iAmPS36569d ago

Low hardware sales because people are waiting for the new bundle.

TheHater6569d ago

I think people are waiting for the new 80GB bundle.

Silogon6569d ago

I hope so, guys. I really do. I want the ps3 to be a big time player but so far it can't seem to get off the ground in america.

NO_PUDding6569d ago

It seems to have got off the ground just fine.

VGchartz aren't entirely accurate, and I woudl suspect both 360 and PS3 to be much higher (360 still in the lead easily) becuase I doubt the GTA4 slowdown has happened quite so fast. Even Wii has had a relatively quiet week.

I think that PS3 sales will be down before MGS4, for sure. And they will also be down before the new 80gb is released.

PoSTedUP6569d ago

the ps3 out sold the 360 in America alot this year.

Qbanboi6569d ago

The 80GB MotoStorm is no where to be seen. And the MGS4 (biggest game of the Year for the PS3) is coming next week, did you actually thought that the Ps3 was going to outsell the 360 this week? If it did so, next will was/is going to be epic ^^.

Bladestar6569d ago

@PoSTedUP - prove it... base on NPD numbers you are very wrong... the only site that was showing that the PS3 was beating the xbox 360 in terms of sells was VGChartz... but it seems as if they corrected their numbers after being proved wrong month after month... now the last few weeks... even VGChartz is showing the xbox 360 selling more consoles than the PS3... now what?

Bonsai12146569d ago

you know bladestar, there is more to the world than america. and sony really screwed it self by no making more 80gbs. they could have kept those coming and released a bundle. oh well.

Bzone246569d ago

You know Bonsai1214, he was commenting on a comment by pOstEDup so your "there is more to the world than America" comment doesn't apply.

I reported you as offensive. No need to get sour.

I mean who buys a PS3 now when MGS4 bundle is just 7 days away

Plus 100$ gift card giveaway by Walmart/bestbuy commences during the week of MGS4 launch

dont be surprised to see LOW ps3 sales again for next week

AND FINALLY

on JUNE 12th ==APOCALYPSE /YAMUL QAYAMAT

I expect PS3 HW sales to bump by atleast 500% during the MGS4 launch week

wont be surprised if it goes over 1000% FOR THE week

9 DAYS to go for the MGS4 PS3 bundle

12th JUNE FTW

@naysayers

why disagree????

same thing will happen next week as we all know

However

everything will be crushed by ps3 from June 12th onwards

disagreeing cant PREVENT the PS3 backed APOCALYPSE commencing on June 12th

However i still believe that PS3 sales could have been much closer in REALITY ...after all these are VGCRAP numbers

PoSTedUP6569d ago

thats some what tru, watch the psp sales at the end of this week too. that bundle just came out and if i had the money i would get it also. its one of the hottest bundles ive seen.

Shaka2K66569d ago

The xbots need to spend more time on vgchartz.com forums trying to justify their xrod 180 inferior purchase.

breakbox cant fix me6569d ago

<-------------------------- ----------

Bathyj6569d ago

Wow, thats the best lead XB has had in quite a while, no doubt cos everyone is waiting for a MGS bundle. I mean why would you buy a PS3 instead of next week?

World wide figures might actually be close this week, but I dont think good enough for XB to break its roughly 8 month losing streak.

Light Yagami6569d ago

On June 12th, I can officially write Xbox 360 on my death note.

Qbanboi6569d ago

^^ Ok i just got that. Very Funny.

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.

solideagle31d 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

Relientk7731d 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.

jznrpg37d 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.
