Great job 3DS. Well deserved. Great handheld.

Cindy-rella4316d ago

the ps4 is doing quite well and I'm surprised that its still selling at such a high rate. sony made a lot of great moves where ps4 is concerned so thats why its doing so well. i can't wait for my ps4 and the last of us game.

SmielmaN4316d ago

You won't be disappointed by TLOU, it's like walking dead/resident evil/uncharted mixed together. Story is very entertaining. I'll be double dipping on this PS4 edition one.

sinjonezp4316d ago

I changed my ps4 thumb sticks to xb1 sticks....lot better, cuz there is no pealing like the ps4 sticks. On topic, amazing how 3ds still selling well. Ps4 again dominates the other home consoles. Sony can do no wrong..right?

Gamer19824316d ago (Edited 4316d ago )

PS4 is going to dominate come September too with Destiny.. With most people thinking PS4 is the lead platform and the fact its got the exclusive content its gonna sell a lot of consoles especially those white ones.. Hell I'm thinking of buying a white ps4 myself and already own a black one..

Chrischi19884316d ago

@sinjoezp:

Yes Sony can, look at their Laptop business, look at their Smartphone business, look at the Vita...

Actually they did almost everything wrong, except the PS4. I am not trying to hate here, but I also dont like when people, because of one device, act like a whole company does no wrong.

Jaelin4316d ago

@Sinjonezp I changed my analog sticks to xbox one sticks too. Way better grip than the ps4 analog sticks :D

PS:vita doing great along with ps4/ps3. sony on a roll

3ds is just a different beats lol, it keeps selling

overall every console did good, xbox one at 61.000 not bad

Realplaya4316d ago

Damn you hate the Wii U that much yo can't give them love lol.

showtimefolks4316d ago

Realplaya

lol i am sorry i overlooked it, right after ps4 and above xbox one, Nintendo has been doing great lately. If nintendo could deliver more games on time, i believe wiiu would be even more successful

Realplaya4316d ago

I Totally agree I think this second or latter end of the year will show if it indeed is the timing of releases. They have some big hits coming soon with barely a month in between.

Spotie4316d ago (Edited 4316d ago )

Dunno why Nuka got marked off topic. You'd have said the same thing for Xbox you did for the 3DS, even if the latter was still on top overall. And you've never made such a comment before when the 3DS was on top. It's fairly easy to assume you're only praising the Nintendo handheld because you can't praise the Microsoft console.

It's weird. It's like you simply CAN'T come to grips with the PS4 outselling the XB1. So instead of acknowledging its success, you jump to the handheld here; in other articles, you're suddenly part of the PC master race. And whenever you DO talk up the Xbox, you sound like a page straight out of Microsoft's Public Relations Handbook.

The whole thing is disturbing.

Edit: Oh, yeah. VGChartz and all that. Before some doofus comes in accusing me of thinking these numbers are anything but speculation.

reaperofsouls4316d ago (Edited 4316d ago )

@ spotie u see right through him

AWBrawler4316d ago

oh wow! who disagreed with you. is there really so much nintendo hate on this site that people get disagrees for simply congratulating the 3DS? sad.

jcnba284316d ago

Why are you getting disagrees? 3DS is clearly No. 1, this site is full of jealousy and hate.

Congrats Nintendo.

Loadedklip4316d ago

cuz fanboys have rendered the agree/disagree count useless.

Almost double! The momentum lasted a shorter period than even I thought it would! Microsoft's shareholder I can say without a shadow of a doubt are not happy. Microsoft really has to do some serious planning and interventions to figure out how to make the Xbox1 more appealing to the general public or, at some point the higher-ups will start considering drastic measures.

JBSleek4316d ago

MS shareholders are extremely happy with MS. Go look at their financials. Xbox is a toy to MS really when it comes to what it means business wise for them.

stuna14316d ago

You really can't believe that can you!? For starters it's a toy that they've sunk Billions of dollars into to ensure that they have a surefire way of recouping that money that they've invested into it. Not only that, the Xbox1 is incurring cost that I'm sure the majority of shareholders never expected simply because the entire image of the Xbox1 has had to be remade since before launch.

They've been fighting a uphill battle since launch with software performance, hardware specs, but worst of all greed. These are issues that have left a lasting impression on the general public and out of the 3 issues I just named only 1 can be correct now.

johndoe112114316d ago

Every time I see comments like this I laugh to myself. You guys who make these statements really have no clue how businesses work do you?

As a share holder you do not want to see ANY part of your business loose money. Regardless if it's a small part or not. Shareholders do not buy shares in businesses to loose money.

The bigger problem with this situation is that you guys refuse to accept that xbox looses microsoft millions. Not hundreds or thousands, MILLIONS. It is a problem they have had with xbox and bing from day one. Those departments have never been profitable.

The only reason I can see why microsoft has held on to those departments for so long is for tax purposes because other than that it doesn'yt make any sense.

You guys think that these investors and shareholders are just sitting around and saying "Ah well, we lost another couple millions this month, that's all right, drop in the bucket". Are you serious????

This delusion that you all have that microsoft can afford to loose tons of money on the xbox brand, or any company for that matter will want to run a business at a loss, is utterly ridiculous. You guys seriously need to get a clue.

That is one of the most irrational ways of thinking I have ever seen. to say that xbox is a toy and to even hint that they are not bothered by the loss is ignorance to a degree.

GribbleGrunger4316d ago (Edited 4316d ago )

Well, enjoy your Indie and AAA financials. I much prefer games but if that's what you love about the console you bought then all power to you.

CaptainObvious8784316d ago

Don't forget this is vgcharts so more than likely the gap between the PS4 and xbone is bigger than the numbers state.

I seriously have to wonder if the pressure coming from unhappy shareholders will result in the xbone being the last ms console.

stuna14316d ago

Sure Microsoft says the Xbox1 is selling faster than the Xbo 360, and I'm sure they're happy with that fact, but this is a totally different generation now and a lot of things have changed!

Many look at handicaps in sports for example as in a way of the competition not being on level or equal ground/footing! In actuality that is what happened all last generation in Microsofts favor! They had time, support, and gamers ready to transition over to what the next gen had to offer! All this with no competitor in sight, to put it delicately all their ducks lined up in a row.

This gen was a totally different set of rules, and competitors are basically evenly matched as far as rules and circumstances are concerned! So there are no handicaps and they are governed by the same rules.

The fact that the PS4 has shot out of the starting block at a blazing fast pace has shook the very core of confidence that Microsoft stood on last generation, whether it's apparent or not to outsiders, but deep in those board rooms serious discussions are going on! And the Xbox1 is a focal point of said discussions

torchic4316d ago (Edited 4316d ago )

to be fair Microsoft shareholders don't give two craps about what happens to Xbox... it doesn't make money, it has never performed admirably, it's never had a clear vision in years... it's just there.

just to show you how much they don't care MSFT share price is at its highest in 12 years while Xbox One (and to some degree 360) has been failing. their shareholders if anything would probably like to see Xbox sold so Microsoft can focus resources on more important matters.

Theyellowflash304316d ago

For not being evolved Torchic you're pretty smart. I've been saying the same thing for years now.

Gamer19824316d ago

Even with the momentum the PS4 still outsold the Xbox One in USA and worldwide last month.. Price drops usually only have an immediate effect of a large sales hike then a much steadier smaller one.. The large sales hike got it no way near PS4 so there was no way it was gonna get near it in July either.

LightDiego4316d ago

Sony and Nintendo are doing well.

Gamer19824316d ago

To be fair so is MS.. For all the negativity around it right now its still selling 360 numbers which for them is good.. Just PS4 is selling near wii like numbers.. Obviously the main problem with this is if it keeps up developers who want to make for a single console first thanks to costs will go to the console with the largest install base. That is PS4 and that's what MS is worried about not the sales of Xbone which are actually good.

WilDRangeRrfc4316d ago

Nintendo are fine Sony are not doing ok yet plenty of agrees I will get disagrees because this is PS4NG but MS>Nintendo>Sony are you lot so blind that you can't see that Sony are in deep shit

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

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot16d 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…

HectixRose17d 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.

JEECE17d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername16d 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.

Soy17d ago

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

DarXyde17d 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.

Ashunderfire8616d 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.

Ashunderfire8616d ago (Edited 16d 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.

pwnmaster300017d 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.

solideagle17d 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

Relientk7717d ago

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