Fanboy dreams chart, don’t give him a hit.

chidori6665629d ago

yep, dont give hits for this fake site.

Dark_Charizard5628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

On what basis are you saying that Sony is doing well when it's coming dead last in both HW and SW sales?!

The Meerkat5628d ago

Would you prefer Japanese games?
Japanese devs have been asleep at the wheel this gen. Everything they make is stuck in a rut.

You're just upset that your team is still loosing.

@meerkat

what!? because computer games are only made by either the japanese or the americans. /s

quite typically close minded..

irish-leprecaun5628d ago

AM I the only one who noticed that ps2 plus ps3 hardware is more than the xbox 360? and with software there equal. you all say sony is doing bad but the ps2 is way more profitable than the xbox and it sold over 100,000 units alone in regions outside the eu, japan and US. then sony has the psp so overall they are doing much better than microsoft. plus sony have spent about a billion less on advertising this year compared to microsoft. next year when it becomes obvious that micro abandoned the hardcore i think lots of xbox owners will buy a ps3. i mean call of duty has 9 million on xbox and 7 million on ps3. a few years ago xbox used to outsell the ps3 cod games by 2:1 so there has already been a shift. plus next year the ps3 version of black ops will outsell the xbox version as has happened with the previous games.
other examples are assaasins creed with are even on both consoles and fifa 11 which has sold twice as much on ps3. the fact kinect is outselling call of duty on the box shows who is buying the box, not us hardcore thats for sure

Dark Collosis5628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

@Necrum you are a fool.. And GoW3 is not the goriest game this gen. If you owned a 360 you would no this. Ninja Gaiden 2 (360 version)is the goriest game i have played this gen, and yes I OWN BOTH. Unlike this poor uneducated simple minded American above me. You speak of so much ignorance yet completely fail to look in the mirror...... Be a gamer not a sony slave. And unlike you my slave friend i get to enjoy Uncharted 3 AND Gears of War 3.. But even still carry on with your rebelion of GAMES on another console. And yes i have a KINECT w/3 games for my sons under the christmas tree, and i got me Demon Souls and Alan Wake for my week off..

Its a miracle these ppl can count from 1-10 let alone add or subtract.

EVILDEAD3605628d ago

'Why only in the States does the Xbox sell so well. When the rest of the world plays great games, America wants another COD and Kinect shovelware. This is why America is failing'

Micrsoft's success has got these rabid Fan kids losing their minds.

This Europian fan kid is bashing America and calling them sheep because of Call of Duty, Kinect, and Microsoft?

The #1 all-time selling european game is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Black Ops is #3 So that means according to this guy that European PS3 owners are also bunch of Sheep. Talk about FAIL again..LMFAO

Then he write an Epic failure of words trying to breakdown MS 'strategy' ..but if you read what is comes down to is that he's emotional because HE doesn't like Kinect and the 360..and he will say anything to justify his case.

If this guy actually believed what he wrote, he'd be happy in PS3 articles and leave it at that. But of course we ALL know what it is. You'll find him trolling 360 and Kinect articles with the usual suspects.

Got to love the fantasy internet fan kid mentality..because when reality kicks in they can't handle the truth

Merry Christmas to the REAL gamers out there

"On what basis are you saying that Sony is doing well when it's coming dead last in both HW and SW sales?! "

LOL, only 170 000 less than 360, on vgchartz estimation, after kinect massive advertising...

yes, sony is doing well, even if you look at vgchartz estimation (not real worldwide sells)

Oner5628d ago

All while the PS3 is STILL more expensive than both of the consoles in the market! Those who think, believe & say Sony is doing "bad" are misinformed plain and simple.

How come the Wii hav so much sales??? In my country wii is Dead nobody buys Wii were hardcore gamers everyone buys ps3 or xbox 360 mostly people buys ps3 cause were loyal to PLAYSTATION since PS1 ERA!!

Ratchet5105628d ago

PS is a new race because we are so great and deserve our own planet lol.

Ratchet5105628d ago

Keep dreaming you little nintendo dyper boy. sony and MS are on the top of the list and GT5 may be messed up but sold more than every game of 2010.

The_Ultimate_Guy5628d ago

It sold more than Halo Reach? Don't think so.
it sold more than CoD: BO? Don't think so.

You might want to take your head out of the sound and research your information before you make outlandish quotes like "GT5 may be messed up but sold more than eery game in 2010."

Ignorance spreading more ignorance. You PS3 fanboys are an odd bunch.

I think the CEO's over at Sony are the ones keeping Alka-Seltzer rolling off the production line.

RememberThe3575628d ago

Really? You don't think they saw this coming? They never expected Move to burst out of the gates and the only game they have for the holidays is GT5. If you didn't see this coming, you have zero foresight.

btk5629d ago

Lets wait for the re-adjustments after Sony reveals their numbers.
Funny how it works.
Media says 300k worldwide Move. Sony states 1m in Americas.
Media says 1m worldwide Move. Sony releases numbers: 4.1m worldwide.

Don't be surprised if Sony sales was wildly undertracked - again. Funny how Sony does not seem to take the media seriously.

The Meerkat5628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

That's because Sony have a very active 'Spin' PR dept.

cereal_killa5628d ago

"That's because Sony have a very active 'Spin' PR dept"

Aaron Greenberg says hello

Clarence5628d ago

Don't forget they also say that GT5 has sold 4.1m, Sony says it's over 5m. Not to mention vgchartz is known for lowering PS3 numbers and raising 360 numbers. Wait for the real numbers to come out from Sony.

shutupandplay5629d ago

YEEEES!

360 upped the PS3 by well over 100k!!!

Damn I wonder how far the 360 has pulled ahead of the PS3 in the last few months.

awesomeperson5628d ago

Bell Boy5628d ago

awesomeperson

a truer statement as never been posted in a vgchartz article.

Spenok5628d ago

I think i agree with Bell Boy above me xD

RememberThe3575628d ago (Edited 5628d ago )

You know, at least your a passionate troll. I'll give you that.

But according to the VGChartz number we're talking about a 2.5% difference in total sales. Thats not really anything to pop the champagne for.

hamburger1235628d ago

So what the PS3 has (better) games (then the XBOX 360)...

jessupj5628d ago

Man it's gonna be funny when the real numbers come out for the year and the PS3 has sold 2 million more than the 360.

Will be very interesting to see holiday numbers considering kinect and move are out.

Darth Stewie5628d ago

Can we ban anything from VGchartz and CVG cause both of those sites are just crap that even the industry don't like.

RememberThe3575628d ago

You can click the sites name below where it reads, "Read full story >>" and rate them down so that they don't pass the filter. Other than that, it is my impression that the Admins aren't banning those sites.

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.

solideagle23d 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

Relientk7723d 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

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

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

jznrpg29d 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.

Smellsforfree29d 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.

Loktai29d 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.

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

Soy31d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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