This is VGC's doing one of their stealth "corrections" now that real numbers have been released. "Yeah, we'll fluff up the numbers in Europe yeah!"

Tachyon_Nova5580d ago

They're still down 6% on last week (PS3 sales), it's just that the competition has slowed down more after Christmas than it has.

Very close between DS2 on consoles. Also good to see LBP holding up well in week 2

Anon19745580d ago

I wouldn't consider these "stealth edits". VGChartz has never hidden the fact that they adjust their figures. The issues is that their weekly figures can often be so far off when official data is released it makes one wonder why they even bother, and on their own site it comments that the weekly numbers shouldn't be taken too seriously.

In my opinion, VGChartz needs to do MORE of these edits, more frequently when official data becomes available. When they go for six month stretches showing one console's numbers short by 2 million, or another console's numbers greatly elevated compared to official data - that's when I take issue with what ioi is doing with his site. There's no excuse for not making adjustments when official data is revealed and shows you're not even close, yet VGChartz has routinely ignored data in the past.

It's an issue with consistency, for me, which is why VGChartz numbers should always be labeled as rumor.

and that's why vg chartz will never be taken seriously.

hennessey865580d ago

kinect adventures sold more than gt5

Drekken5580d ago

It must be a better game!

a08andan5580d ago

Probably because its bundled with Kinect :P?

m23455579d ago (Edited 5579d ago )

wow, it must be an amazing game then. /s

edit: fall for what? it wasn't even funny.

FailOverHero5580d ago

Dead Space 2 sells 1000 units more on PS3 in EMEAA. Wonder what the difference will be worldwide, we know it is probably more than 50k difference in the Americas chart.
Mass Effect 2 on PS3 getting creamed, 27 k units week 2. I just hope they manage to break even, it is a fantastic game and deserve more sales

Adva5580d ago

How's your spinning wheel going? Oil it up so it can stop making those annoying noise.

FailOverHero5580d ago

It is going very well thank you. By the way those noise(s) give my wheel character so I think I'll keep em.
Seriouslm though, what did I spin? DS 2 sold 1k units more in PS3's stronghold. No spin there.
Mass Effect 2 week 2 sales are paltry, no spin there.
Game deserves better sales...no spin detected.

So wait... Vgchartz is legit now?

OC_MurphysLaw5579d ago

@YOUR-MUM ... VGChartz is always legit in the eyes of the person the numbers are spun best for on that day.

BubloZX5579d ago

nope still fake numbers. they can have the ps3 lead all they want and I still won't buy it till I hear from the company it's self

YodaCracker5579d ago

Americas numbers were just released for the week of Jan 29:

X360: 140,247
Wii: 111,672
DS: 107,146
PS3: 78,129
PSP: 32,543

It looks like any lead the PS3 had in EMEAA was wiped away in one fell swoop. The article should be posted on here soon. In the meantime you can just go to www.VGChartz.com to see for yourself.

ufo8mycat5579d ago

This pretty much proves that a lot of Americans are dumb enough to fall for the Kinect garbage, unlike Europeans.

strickers5579d ago

Looks at Japan and the rest of the world.........Oh look Ps3 selling more again.

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.

solideagle16d 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

Relientk7715d 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.

jznrpg21d 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.

Smellsforfree21d 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.

Loktai21d 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.
