Wii & DS still kickin ass!

eagle215618d ago

exactly... imagine if Nintendo shaved off even 30% price cut on their best selling consoles...lol :)

MAJ0R5618d ago (Edited 5618d ago )

these are fake numbers

Godmars2905618d ago

Imagine if they made games worth buying those systems for.

RSPproductionz5618d ago

i love how the 360 fanboys that put these charts up when 360 was winning were not too pushed about posting this. also the japan numbers are wrong, 360 is under 3k and ps3 over 60k. official numbers but vgfail changed them

RSPproductionz5618d ago

its mad that ps2 still sells. we might as well add the ps2 numbers to the ps3 versus 360 numbers

darthv725618d ago

But impressive sales for the first week of a new year.

@rsp..you would think huh. IMO sony is hurting sales of the ps3 by keeping the ps2 going. Drop production of the unit but game development could still happen.

Imagine if they announced a PS4 next year. They would be trying to support 3 consoles at once. Only one other company ever did that and look what happened (hint: SEGA).

mikeslemonade5618d ago

No matter how wrong the numbers are, the idea is the PS3 is generally outselling the 360 worldwide. PS3 being 2nd place soon is inevitable.

Too bad nothing coming out is really a system seller. LBP2 and Killzone 3 will sell a few extra 10,000s of units but nothing more.

gii bro5618d ago

Its funny how the numbers are fake when Nintendo are on top.

@godsmars...i bought the games and had a blast more than any others... :)

GodofSackboy5618d ago

@darthv72
They would possibly be supporting 5 at once =D

PS3
PSP
PS2
"Playstation pocket"? (ps phone)
PSP2

Also PC with MMOs and stuff so that's awesome

darthv725618d ago

i was looking at just the home console front of PS2, PS3 and PS4.

Sega had the master system they were still supporting in Europe and the US with the new design. The genesis/sega cd/32x all considered one because they all related to each other. Then they had the saturn.

You could throw in the game gear for good measure if you wanted to but that deviates from the home console list. That is alot of hardware to provide support to at the same time.

solidworm5618d ago

At last America is not the world,....lol.

darthv725618d ago (Edited 5618d ago )

it takes the rest of the world combined to equal/surpass america. That must account for something.

@below: 50% for a single territory vs the rest of the world....yeah that is huge. You may not see it that way but that is why America is the single biggest territory in game sales. That is the market you WANT your product to do well in for its sheer percentage of market share.

like the song goes: if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere (except jp for the 360 lol).

Denethor_II5618d ago

"it takes the rest of the world combined to equal/surpass america. That must account for something."

If that's the case then it accounts for 50%.

Cyrus3655618d ago

PS3 beats 360 worldwide as usual...

FrankMcSpank5618d ago

LoL...If Americans aren't buying the 360 like crazy, the 360 will come in behind PS3 worldwide. The 360 can out sell the PS3 by 100k in the states and still come in behind..

LoydX-mas5618d ago

"VGchartz are fake numbers".

.....taken from every PS3 fanboy post about sales numbers.

Kran5618d ago

Does VGChartz ever stop swarming N4G?

k-dillinger5618d ago

as much as i love ps3 i still don't buy these fake numbers regardless if they finally got ps3 kick n 360 ass..

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.

solideagle34d 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

Relientk7734d ago

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

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

jznrpg40d 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.

Smellsforfree40d 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.

Loktai39d 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.
