If these numbers pan out: Looks like Kinect is selling in Europe too guys. The only thing selling more is the Wii. Looks like it will be around 2mil sold in EMEAA in less than 2 Months. I think that is pretty good for a motion add-on this late in the game. That is if these numbers are close of course.

Kinect is doing well in UK for certain: http://news.softpedia.com/n...

big pappy they arent reliable source . why dont you just wait for sony or m$ relase there real figures . we all know vgcharts undertrack ps3 peace out ?

lastdual5629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

VGChartz is not as off as some here would like to believe.

Their total numbers may not track undeveloped 3rd world nations or those with more closed-off economies (since accurate sales numbers are hard to come by there), but for most of the developed world they are fairly accurate.

Implying that the company is run by fanboys is just immature.

gaden_malak5629d ago

Please, even Greenburg called VGChartz out. They're completely wrong on all fronts.

DiRtY5629d ago

They overtracked the PS3 last month according to NPD and undertracked the Xbox 360.

Greenburg appologized for calling VGC out btw.

SWORDF1SH5629d ago

VGC always have to make large change to keep their numbers accurate. They are fairly accurate up until a few months ago, the last time official numbers were released. And when official numbers get released the have to do major adjustments time and time again. Im talking up and over half million sometimes.

Then they go back to showing the 360 out selling the PS3 by loads (worldwide) only to make adjustments down the line to reduce the gap. And When they show PS3 outsellin the 360, the gap is always bigger than they show.

Its like they always got make out the 360 is doing better than it is or doing damage control and without keeping a close eye on their figures you wouldnt know.

Why cant they just keep the figure straight because the 360 is doing very well without VGC trying to bulk it up.

You can't take that back Greenburg lmao.

Your right about kinect doing well in the UK its selling very well here but the USA and UK are 2 markets the 360 has over the ps3 n 2 big markets they are too. The one game I expected to see up there over Xmas was dance Central but it was not in there that and kinect sports are kinects beat games so far. But tbh sales on all 3 consoles look good for Europe.

Agent-865629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

The only reason Kinect Adventures is on the list is that its included with the Kinect bundle. If you look at the list, there is only one other Kinect game and that's Kinect Sports at #20 with 700k total sales. Kind of a stretch to say that Kinect is a huge success in Europe. Probably due to them having smaller houses, on average, compared to the US (same goes for Japan).

What I find more interesting with this list is that the PS3 version of Black Ops has sold 500k more than the 360 and the PS3 FIFA 11 sold 1mil more than the 360. Plus Gran Turismo 5 is sitting at 2.9mil in sales just in Europe. Seems to me that the PS3 is firmly established in Europe.

Bigpappy5629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

Wow agent. I am not trying to be insulting here, but the analogy can not be avoided. You are talking out of both sides of your mouth, which make it very difficult to understand your point.

One one hand you are saying K-Adventure is only selling because it is bundled with Kinect. would that not mean that Kinect is selling well in Europe? You then go on to say "Kind of a stretch to say that Kinect is a huge success in Europe." Then your next statement is how great PS3 versions of some games are doing. But doesn't the article clearly show that Kinect OUT SOLD ALL of those games for that week?

@mcstorm. Kinect Sports was #8 from 13 on the UK chartz the week of the 25th. That is quite impressive when you keep in mind that they aren't many Kinects in peoples homes yet, and this was a big shopping week in the UK. This would also indicate that a lot of Kinects had been sold in that same week.

Vherostar5629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

Guess thats 1.6 million Kinect in Europe obviously as Kienct adventures comes free with the camera? Sad theres only 1 hardcore exclusive in the top 10 though.. No make that the entire list!

strickers5628d ago

Not as well as Move did in one month and it looks like PS3 in general is killing 360 in software sales on multi plats.

strickers5628d ago

Kinect is not selling software either.Poor Harmonix.They don't deserve it.
You're still an ass.

forza beating gt5??
lol,y right

Vherostar5629d ago

Where you get that?? Forza not even on the list in fact GT4 sold more copys already in Europe alone than forza 3 has to date worldwide.. Yet they call GT5 a failure the 360 fanboys.. Live and learn I say..

DolfZigglers5629d ago

I'm impressed to see Wii still that high even with Move and Kinect out.

AWBrawler5628d ago

Why the surprise? Wii is a household name now, and my bro just got one this year as well as 2 of my cousins and a friend. Its like when PS2 was a household name last gen

Gothdom5629d ago (Edited 5629d ago )

How do these vgchartz article get approved? I don't really care who's first, I do like to see how they fare though, but not with made up numbers.

News reported and once again, everyone should either report this or agree with reporters.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5833d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905833d ago (Edited 5833d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5833d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5833d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495833d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5833d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5833d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
