Good numbers all around but as a home console. Ps4 is just killing it. And SSB is almost 2 million sales now. For the small install base of the WiiU, that is a really good number. I really hope that Level 5 makes Dark Cloud 3 on the PS4. They seem to do very well on the 3DS and i expect them to do well on a home console. Here is hoping they announce Dark Cloud 3 one day. And GTAV is almost 45 millions in total sales. Congrats R*, well deserved for a masterpiece. I believe it will reach 55 millions for the life time sales.

WeAreLegion4030d ago

I agree with all of that. Haha. 2015 is going to be very kind to the PS4, too. And SSB for Wii U is easily the best in the series.

Gamer19824030d ago (Edited 4030d ago )

GTA V for Xbox One isnt selling no way near as well as PS4. I know theres less consoles worldwide but theres nearly 18 million ps4s to 10 million xboxs meaning not double ps4 to xbox yet gta sold nearly more than 3 times as much on ps4 at 4 million compared to 1.5 million. That surprises me as games with guns usually sell better on xbox. Guess its because its not an all out shooter..

DarkOcelet4030d ago

Call of duty on Ps4 sold 1 million more than Xone version. If this was the Ps3/X360 era then yes i would have agreed with you but with Ps4/Xone era. No way a multiplatform is gonna sell better on the Xone unless its heavily marketed for it but even then games like Fifa 15 and COD AW were marketed for the Xone but sold more on PS4.

TVG4030d ago

I didn't buy it on my X1 because I am tired of all these remakes. I don't care if they added another perspective I want new games. I am not sure why so many people on PS4 are desperate enough to buy the same game again. Hmm....

Magicite4029d ago

I guess these are the great times for everyone. Im owner of a gaming PC and PS3 and hopefully soon also PS4.

demonddel4030d ago

Vgchartz Never lies until we start losing

kurruptor4030d ago

But Xbone is going to catchup right? Software sales difference is major.

torchic4030d ago

yeah what's up with the large difference in software sales between PS4 & X1?

kneon4030d ago

It just about even given the relative size of the install bases.

Concertoine4029d ago (Edited 4029d ago )

I hired an expert detective, he said it's the 7 million lead that the ps4 has.

stuna14030d ago

The PS4 and Xbox1 software attach rates are pretty good and comparable to their fanbase numbers

Xbox1 are about 4 games to a system

PS4 are about 4 games to a system.

Truthful I actually expected the Xbox1 to have a higher software attach rate, considering the PS4 has no games and all! /s

But I guess the 17 million plus gamers seem to have scraped up something to play.

Not to mention I don't think VGChartz has a way of accounting for digital sales of consoles or software, so the actual figures could be a lot higher on both accounts.

Nekroo914030d ago

So here Patcher...for the xbox to catch up the ps4 they actually need to sell more consoles worlwide.

DarkOcelet4030d ago

Honestly with the plethora of exclusives coming to PS4 in Q1/Q2, unless ms announce something for those particular months soon, they will have a hard time catching up at all.

SmielmaN4030d ago

Plus Project Morpheus could be big

pyroxxx4030d ago (Edited 4030d ago )

I can guarantee you they won't be catching anyone,.. next year the gap won't be 7-8 million,.. it might be 15-18 million (absolute numbers between them),.. They might be winning a month or two in US with deals and cuts (but those months are important,..) But overall,.. I doubt they will be closing even in US,..

It is really hard for them to close the gap (in US ) if they get outsold for 10 months (US),.. and then try to recoup over holidays all the new gap that accumulates over the year,..

And now that they raised the price again,.. It is going to be a bloodbath,.. even in US

To be catching someone up,.. you must start selling more to start closing the gap and they haven't won a single week globally ,.. What they can try to do is slowing down how much (the rate) they get outsold per anum,.. Instead of 7 millions a year,.. maybe try not to get obliterated as much,.. This year though,.. it is probably going to be even worse for them,.. Sony is just dropping exclusives throughout the year and even PlayStation related IPs that are multiplat (like MGS5)

So yeah,.. no,.. At least not soon,..

MasterCornholio4030d ago

I'm really curious to see how consumers will react to the XB1s price hike.

Anyways I know its VGs but I'm sure the consoles are selling well.

DarkOcelet4030d ago

If it goes back up to 400 then the exclusives are the ones that are going to determine which console will have the upper hand and the PS4 clearly has it in terms of amount.

Gamer19824030d ago

They do going into 2015 yes. I cannot see what MS is going to do other than an official price cut which they cannot afford to do. A temp price cut was feasible at holiday time as people buy a few games with it. MS had more retail exclusives in 2014 and did the better bundles in the Christmas window not to mention the price drop yet still couldn't beat Sonys juggernaut. Now prices have gone back up and Sonys exclusives are coming they are going to take a bit of a beating.. At least until September.

Best Adventure Game of 2025

VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "While not carrying the same heft it enjoyed long ago, last year was one of the adventure genre's most commercially-successful years in this century. A Telltale-esque adventure eclipsing 3 million sales in three months would be the talk of the town were it not for another adventure game hurdling over 10 million sales in two. Though not all finalists reached those heights, each did share a greater amount of spotlight compared to similar titles within their respective sub-genres.

Past any sales thresholds and popularity contests, 2025 also deserves credit for its creativity; the last time our entire shortlist consisted exclusively of new IPs was for Best Adventure Game of 2020. An impressive year for the genre, with even greater potential ahead."

Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown Has Sold 7 Million Units

Bandai Namco announced today that its popular flight simulator-lite Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has passed another sales milestone.

Abnor_Mal2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Great game, and deserves all its sales. Ace Combat has always been a great series. I should replay AC7 again for the fourth time.

It’s unfortunate that Ace Combat8 won’t have vr, as the devs felt it would be too much work and they would be essentially making two games.

Would love a release of Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but I’d be fine with Ace3,4&5 remasters for PS5 with updated tightened controls.

Sony Remade Demon’s Souls, So Why Won’t It Touch Bloodborne?

The Outerhaven writes: Bloodborne is still one of PlayStation’s most beloved exclusives, but it remains trapped on PS4. Meanwhile Demon’s Souls got a full PS5 remake. But why?

Demon's Souls was a PS3 game.

Bloodborne is PS4 and can be played on a PS5.

There's no need for a remaster.

Relientk7717h ago

I completely agree with you on this. If you want remasters or remakes give us games from the PS1 or PS2 era like Legend of Dragoon.

Eonjay11h ago

I would say thats a personal oponion trying to be passed off as a law. Truth is thre are many people who would love a remaster.upgrade so they can play Bloodborne at 60 FPS. People would literally love that.

shadowhaxor13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

I mentioned that in my article, did you read it? I literally pointed out this is exactly why the game is still doing well, and why Sony has zero reason to remake/remaster it.

And there are plenty of PS4 to PS5 remaster/remakes, to counterpoint that.

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
GTA V Expanded & Enhanced
Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut
Control: Ultimate Edition
Death Stranding Director’s Cut
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
The Last of Us Part II Remastered

Eonjay11h ago

Either because they technically can't because From Soft wont allow them too, or because From Soft is sorking on the sequal, remaster themselves. Therre is a third option of course and that would be that they are working on it

MinnesotaFatts9h ago

Some part of me wonders if there's some sort of corporate war going on at Sony.

StoneTitan1h ago

Pretty sure from spft said they would want to be part of it themselfs

LuckyDuck1254m ago

Don't forget about the Until Dawn remake that no one asked for.

I want a new one not a remaster

victorMaje11h ago

TLoU got the remaster & then the remake treatment.
Where is the next bloodborne, or remaster, or remake?

Goodguy0110h ago

What it needs is a ps5+pc release. The game absolutely needs a 4k60 update. Lots of money sony is sleeping on while the souls genre is still hot.

MinnesotaFatts9h ago

Tell me you don't know what a remaster is without telling me.

Bloodborne is infamously capped at 30fps on either system--a bizarre design choice given that speed and reaction time is central to the gameplay systems. This capped performance was never patched out officially, unless you jailbreak and mod your console. A remaster for modern hardware, not the infamously finicky PS4 devkits, would be a great way to both hyper-optimize the game *and* drive sales for the PS5, which still doesn't have a system seller title.

spoonard4h ago

I don't want a remaster, I want a ground-up remake, like Demon's Souls. 60+FPS, higher res textures, and higher poly models. Why wouldn't anyone want those things for Bloodborne???

RaiderNation13h ago

There might be some licensing red tape they cant get around?

shadowhaxor13h ago

That'd be interesting, but Sony owns the IP 100%. So, I can't see how that is part of the issue, if there is even one.

RaiderNation9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Maybe Sony isnt interested in doing it without the assistance of Miyazaki and he's not interested? (Just spit-balling).

BeHunted4h ago

Sony doesn't own the studio that created the game

LuckyDuck1249m ago

Japan Studio was heavily involved in co-creating Bloodborne.

LuckyDuck1246m ago

I'm gonna go out on a limb and bet that Miyazaki would love to work on a remake/remaster or even a full on sequel considering the existence of The Duskbloods which IMO seems to be eerily similar to Bloodborne.

+ Show (1) more replyLast reply 46m ago
MinnesotaFatts9h ago

That's the issue according to FROMSOFT. They'd *love* to do a remaster, but Sony won't even return their calls.

LuckyDuck1251m ago

Sony fully owns Bloodborne just like it fully own Demon's Souls.

Inverno13h ago

Because they're saving that for the PS6 to lure in all the suckers that will think they're making a sequel, but the whole gen will pass by and From won't ever touch it because Song doesn't care for either Demon or Blood outside of remakes.

Furesis11h ago

Because they made them do something else, then they canceled it and who knows what they are doing these days. They dont understand what they have and honestly i dont think they know what they are doing either.

blacktiger10h ago

How bout forget remade and start making new game pls?
