Mr Bean Laden6109d ago

this is what I've been tell you guys, the superior version of Batman AA (PS3) will outsell the flopbox version, and it has

and for dry PS3 supplies in Japan, and the world, PS3 did better than expected in sales

Xbox360Elite6109d ago (Edited 6109d ago )

dry PS3 supplies in Japan...how many times have i heard that crap excuses excuses keep telling yourself that.

Yeah sure it did i believe you now how about taking your pill...thats a good Laden.

Mr Bean Laden6109d ago

it DID, the PS3 slim JUST launched in Japan TODAY

just so if you didn't know you only have 1 bubble :P

raztad6109d ago

@Laden

Bro, dont get so excited, those are just VGchartz estimates. If they are bad predicting NA numbers, WW is even worse.

That said, I expect B:AA to sell better on PS3.

Sir Ken_Kutaragi6109d ago

It should say -

PS3 - Batman:'AAA'

360 - Batman:'AA' ;-D

Tr10wn6108d ago

@Mr Bean Laden "just so if you didn't know you only have 1 bubble :P" why would that be? maybe it has something with the 90% of N4G which are PS3 fanboys disagree with you? go to gamespot and post nonsense like what you post and you would get the same treat.

@Sir Ken_Kutaragi Not because Batman:AA has Joker playable on PS3 it doesn't mean the game is AAA it received the same pros/cons. Really you don't stop to surprise me you must have down syndrome

that gave me a good laugh, most bots would've gotten butt hurt from that comment

corywebb93 you made my day, it's about time you made yourself useful

Agree fo you foo :P

ThatCanadianGuy6109d ago

God damn cory..

Your mother really let herself go..

rucky6109d ago (Edited 6109d ago )

You don't have to bribe review sites for your games to sell. If it's a good game people will buy it. Good job Rocksteady in making a successful Batman game.

Greywulf6109d ago

i dont even know why I click on these.

Here are my #'s based on... uh..

1. Batman:AAps3 (530,000)
2. Batman:AA360 (650,000)
3. WiiSPorts (9 million)
blah blah blah.

nbsmatambo6109d ago

seems like the JOker sells well

IzKyD13316109d ago

Eidos actually has a hit game? Good to see them bounce back after the endless # of flops they released last year

darthv726109d ago

I have been playing the 360 demo till my copy arrives. I also played my friends ps3 version with the joker. while it is nice and free...it isnt a big selling point to me.

The game is great and deserves #1.

Carl14126109d ago

Why do VGChartz stories keep getting approved? Seriously?

SevWolf6109d ago

Despite the fact that I bought the PS3 version for Joker and I'm loving it :P, I don't give a rat's @SS which version is at 1 and which is at 2 all I know is I want themto be at the first two and I want them to sell really well, Rocksteady made an excellent game(one of the best this GEN) and I don't want Eidos(bribing Fvckers) or Fanboys to give this game a bad name(cause of the DLC)

bmw696109d ago (Edited 6109d ago )

More of this anti-VGC BS!

Seriously, you guys need to do some research before posting this stuff. VGChartz numbers have been pretty much spot on with NPD for the last 6 months now - why don't you actually look the figures up and see?

Let's do it for you, this is a comparison between the VGChartz NPD previews (posted BEFORE NPD data comes out) and the NPD data itself:

VGChartz July preview - http://news.vgchartz.com/ne...
NPD July data - http://www.gamasutra.com/ph...

DS:
VGC - 537,000
NPD - 538,900

Wii:
VGC - 309,000
NPD - 252,500

PS3:
VGC - 128,000
NPD - 121,800

Xbox360:
VGC - 198,000
NPD - 202,900

PSP:
VGC - 129,000
NPD - 122,800

Yeah I see what you mean - no correlation between the two at all. In fact apart from the 50,000 difference on Wii (and many in the industry believe that NPD undertracked Wii for July) the numbers correlate perfectly.

And you can see the same, if not better, in previous months:

VGChartz June preview - http://news.vgchartz.com/ne...
NPD June data - http://www.gamasutra.com/ph...

Again i'll list these ones out:
NPD / VGC
DS - 766k / 744k
Wii - 362k / 366k
PS3 - 165k / 164k
360 - 241k / 248k
PSP - 164k / 143k

Obviously made up and "fake" from VGC once again.

Also if you look, the software lines up almost perfectly as well.

Seriously, this misconception that VGChartz is "fake" (spread by NPD and their closest allies) has to stop. They provide solid industry estimates for free that nearly always line up well with official data that is released. They use statistical samples from retailers and consumers and extrapolate to represent the entire market - same as NPD do but on a smaller scale. So they are not *as* accurate as NPD but they are still accurate.

gaffyh6109d ago

@above - Do you work for VGChartz or something? Lol, I think you care too much.

Also VGChartz guesstimates worldwide not only North America. And it's almost always wrong.

VGChartz sucks. Simple as that.

bmw696109d ago

@gaffyh

I care when I see how stupid some people's comments are. Your reply shows the level of intelligence we are dealing with here.

"VGChartz sucks, simple as that" - because they don't report what you want them to report maybe?

blackmagic6109d ago

I'm going to have to agree with bmw69... vgcharts has been within a few percent of npd, mediacreate and charttrack for a while now and earlier in the year when both ms and sony announced their ytd sales vgcharts was no more than a couple hundred thousand off which is actually quite excellent considering their smaller sample sizes. Don't forget that npd, mediacreate and charttrack are statistical estimates aswell just with larger sample sizes.

JokesOnYou6109d ago (Edited 6109d ago )

He pretty much spoon feeds you guys the info, showing that vg chartz have been fairly accurate for some time now and all you can do to dispute it is say it sucks. No links, no sources, in other words just I don't like vg chartz so they suck....that's the typical 5 yr old mentatility that make n4g laughable. Do you know how dumb that sounds? I mean I can understand saying vg chartz is off sometimes, they must be doing something right to improve their methods, I remember along while back seeing some waaaay off estimates but he's right they've been pretty damm close for awhile, you just don't want to see it.

JOY

Homicide6109d ago (Edited 6109d ago )

Whether you like them or not, you have to admit VGChartz's numbers are very close to the NPD numbers. He showed you proof. Every time a website writes an anti-PS3 article or the sales figure aren't favoring your console, they're automatically biased. Such a shame indeed.

Also JOY, it's a shame you have 3 bubbles. You are one of the most intelligent members in this site.

likedamaster6109d ago

Goes to show you even the most insignificant DLC will turn the tides. But I digress, good numbers for a great game deserving of #1.

gaffyh6108d ago (Edited 6108d ago )

@1.10 and 1.12 - You guys care too much. VGChartz has been proven to be VERY VERY wrong in the past, just because their numbers align sometimes doesn't mean they are reliable. NPD, GFK/Chart Track and Media Create are legitimate sales trackers. VGChartz is not, shows your level of intelligence that you actually trust this source that has been wrong EVERY time for the last 3 years.

EDIT: This has nothing to do with the numbers not being aligned to my particular console or anything. I own all current gen consoles, so I don't really care about whether one platform sells more than another (unlike fanboys like JOY). I just know that VGC is unreliable, as do most other N4G users.

DaTruth6108d ago (Edited 6108d ago )

We all know they're fake numbers and your 3 accounts agreeing with yourself doesn't change it! We all know they fix the numbers after NPD is released, so your aligning numbers mean nothing!

Why was this band from this site and so many others for so long if it wasn't fake? You know the junk that this site tolerates? VGChartz has been deemed the junk of all junk; Junk actually looks down on VGChartz!

Everyone with sense, please report this as fake! If you wish to use this as a forum to talk about Batman, continue, but please don't refer to the sales!

Vicodin6108d ago

Vgchartz goes back and changes their fake numbers after the real numbers are released by NPD.

The site is a sickening farce. Gaming doesn't need some guy pretending to do retail tracking making up sales numbers.

There is already enough garbage filling the gaming news.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

ThatCanadianGuy6109d ago (Edited 6109d ago )

LMAO!

Is that the song you sing yourself to sleep with?
All the while the rest of us enjoy gaming on the superior PS3

By the way dumbass, these are predictions.Not official numbers.

TheTeam066109d ago

Because a song describing why a console sucks 2 years ago is really relevant...

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.

solideagle27d 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

Relientk7727d ago

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

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

jznrpg33d 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.

Smellsforfree33d 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.

Loktai33d 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.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
