YES! Enough said. yet another week the PS3 gets stomped by the competition worldwide. Looks like the gap between the 360 and PS3 is finally starting to open back up to close to around 5 million now! Awesome.

thebudgetgamer5642d ago (Edited 5642d ago )

i cant wait for my check to come in the mail.

NewMonday5642d ago

@shutupandplay
what's the point in counting dead units?

if you only care about sales then im sorry to tell you that "unique" 360 units are barley 35 million, so its actually distant last.

sdtarm5640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

ROFL for 100k units the gap is already back on 5 million??
ROFLMFAO

Wenis5640d ago

Sucks to be the kids still getting a PS2 for Christmas

uxo225640d ago

@newmonday - That was pretty lame. Seriously, every 360 unit sold is a unique unit. Spin it, however you'd like but that's not going to change the fact that even if a unit is sold to replace a broken on, as far as sells go, a unit sold is a unit sold.

Scary695640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

The numbers on these systems are no where accurate, Wii sport? GTFO Doesn't that game already come with the system? VGCHARTZ once again has failed and should quit their day jobs. heh I want to know what the numbers will be next year around March since the 360 has nothing being released. LOL

Gap is starting to open up? HAHAHAHAHA

morganfell5640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

Looks like someone has a short memory concerning vgchartz reliability. It's laughable how soon people forget only to be disappointed later. This is just one more article I will bookmark and then reference posters' comments later when history repeats itself:

This:

http://n4g.com/news/636185/...

Then this:

http://n4g.com/news/636283/...

Remember that?

Wenis5640d ago

Yeah I remember. But now Sony is beginning to lose the lead they were starting to build... what gives Sony.

uxo225640d ago

@Morgan, you don't think bookmarking comments to talk smack at a later date is a bit highschool?

Anon19745640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

I've gotta agree, VGChartz just simply isn't reliable and it's been proven over and over again when real numbers come out. It's just like after E3, when the 360 got a price cut and the 360S was launched. We had article after article about how well VGChartz thought the 360 was doing, Amazon charts showing how the 360 was running away, etc....etc. Then real data comes out for the quarter and the PS3 had sold almost a million more than the 360 for that period.

And it happens over and over again. VGChartz articles put the 360 ahead. NPD numbers show the 360 selling well in the US. Every single article is filled with 360 fans talking about the 360 widening the gap still and being unstoppable. Then when real data comes out it proves the PS3 is selling better than 360, the 360 sales trolls go silent for a week - then start right back up again as soon as VGChartz puts out it's next batch of guesstimates.

Here's a fact. The 360 at it's height had over an eight million lead on the PS3. That is now down to 3 million. The PS3 head 2 head outsells the 360. Has for some time. After 4 years of outselling the 360, what on earth makes you guys think that suddenly the 360 has suddenly, just now, started to pull away? Even VGChartz shows the PS3 and 360 practically neck and neck since the last official numbers were released, and the PS3 way ahead this year overall, and given that they always overstate 360 numbers and understate PS3 numbers when official data is revealed, how can you honestly believe the 360 is ahead all of a sudden?

Be realistic.

MeanOldman5640d ago

uxo do you think its high school to let people like this shutupanplay talk smack and then not be held accountable? Do you think its high school to let places like vgchartz and any fanboy that is wiling to believe in them talk smack and affect a whole industry and not be held accountable.

That is not high school bud its making people realize you cant run around and spread a bunch a damn lies all over a place like this without some one calling you on the damn carpet when the bill comes due. You may live a life when no body gets held accountable for nothing but when you grow up you are gonna realize the world dont work like that. I says hold them to what they said and I hope he rips em a new one for geting caught just like they did last time.

Scary695640d ago

THANK YOU Morganfell, people seem to really forget how unreliable this website really is, whose numbers are never even close to actuality.

L0G1C5640d ago

The Sony fanboys on here, which is most of N4G, have split personalities. When you have the trolls here praise an article showing 360 sales are more than PS3, the response is "who counts sales?", "they're just replaced RRoD'ed systems.", "No games to show for." And when it's the other way around "ha stupid 360. Take THAT!" They're ensconced in retardation.

XBOX 360: 5 million ahead good for micro$oft!

PS3: 25 More exclusives, good for me

Pyscho_Mantis5640d ago

DUDE WHY ISNT ANY ONE SEEING THAT ITS VGCHARTZ

showtimefolks5640d ago

do we need sales or aaa games?

both console are over 42million both are selling well so neither company is worried now its about games

L0G1C5640d ago

@psycho_mantis

When they're cuddling up on a company's nutsack, the source of "good news" doesn't have to be reliable.

bviperz5640d ago

@shutupandplay

Oh the irony with this one...

showtimefolks5640d ago

when these trolls on ps3/xbox side come to an article troll with their one bubble than sign aith their different account with 5 bubbles and start making sense lol

end of the day its about games and which ever company brings out a good game i will buy it besides nintendo since i don't have a wii and don't plan on getting one either motion controls scare me

BIGBOSS085640d ago

yea... until we get official numbers and see that the gap has closed even more. than vgchartz do a stealth edit to their numbers. i know how this site works. few months back they had the 360 beating the ps3 for a good 6 weeks but they got it wrong and completely reversed the numbers.

chaos-lockheart5640d ago

what intrigues me is is the +8% over the +1%

Terror_B5640d ago

LOL, Kinect sports sold more than GT5, Sony must be ashamed.

SantanaClaus895639d ago

Bigpappy5642d ago

Motion control is the only way to the casuals hearts. Wii and Kinect are doing some hude numbers. This just shows how important that market is to these companies. The core gamers are more reliable, but there are a boat load of casuals (women, kids, and non gaming men) who are buying into this motion stuff because they are easy to get into.

thebudgetgamer5642d ago

the only problem with that is casuals up and leave just as fast as they get into it. it's people like us that keep these companies afloat.

uxo225640d ago (Edited 5640d ago )

thebudgetgamer - Yeah, I see how over that last few years how that have just up and left nintendo. Come one son, casuals are just as important as hardcore and from the way it appears they spend a hell of a lot more money.

I mean seriously, look at your moniker, you aint spending any money.

Masterchef20075640d ago

so true many people i know bought the wii and maybe 1 or 2 games and thats it. For them the wii is a device to have fun with when you have friends over or with your family. Thats why they dont buy many games for it.

ChristianGamer5642d ago

726k for Kinect Adventures. Looks like Kinect is maintaining that 100k units per day average that got it 2.5 million in 25 days. Also, 680k GT5 is very impressive for week 3 in my opinion.

ECM0NEY5640d ago

GT5 is surprising. Especially when the word about it being an incomplete game had to have gotten out after 3 weeks.

Still the best racing sim, just not complete.

Moentjers5640d ago

@Ass

right, not complete: it only misses 15000 cars and 200.000 possible tracks ?

HungryGoku5640d ago

I Have to say this OWNED like Gt5 has alot of tracks and cars it's pretty complete can get lost looking at the amount of cars when something gives alot you should say thank you not F you not nice.

wat6345640d ago

Look at cataclysm! World of warcraft fans sure do love what they get =)

And the PS3 gets stomped... Again.

garrod5640d ago

People still play that game?? lulz

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.

solideagle30d 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

Relientk7730d 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.

jznrpg36d 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.
