Even though this is VG I wonder where all the idiots who think the 360 has been outselling the competition worldwide are.

Killzone 3 definitely gave the PS3 a hardware boost from the look of things. Sucks that Sony and Ninty are down from last year though.

I would have thought killzone would have sold more thats rather bad .

kz3 is ok, shooters dont do well on ps3. 1 mill aint bad, think it will sell bout 3mill.

earbus5541d ago

Isnt cod the biggest game on ps3? there goes that theory.

btk5541d ago

Nearly every VGC report makes it look asif XB360 is beating competition - and then the real numbers hit...

Last year was especially funny. XB360 was "outselling" PS3 months on end and ended with lower numbers when real numbers came in. VGC standard reporting.

hudsoniscool5541d ago

vgchartz report emeaa, japan, and americas every week. 360 wins in america every week but not anywhere else besides uk.

and q4 2010 360 outsold ps3 by a hair world wide, not the other way around.

Death5540d ago

VGCharts doesn't have the resources to report any of these regions including NA. They are complete guesstimates and hold absolutely no credibility.

death you are ignorant. they do polls and call retailers.

No Way5541d ago

I don't understand .. what are the 'real numbers?'
Cause I only really see VGC and NPD numbers here..
Yet, everyone always complains that NPD is bullshit.
So, NPD and VGC are 'fake?' Or, just when the x360 leads?

DaTruth5541d ago

I've never heard anyone say NPD is fake, they just say that they are not worldwide numbers and that nobody should be claiming victory over them!

If you win once in a triathlon, you lost!

Death5540d ago

NPD is a company that provides retail sales data to other companies to track sales trends. It's a paid service and is fairly accurate and consistant with official figures provided by manufacturers. NPD provides data on thousands of products and is not exclusive to gaming.

VGChartz started in 2005 as a fan based sales tracking site by compiling numbers released by NPD and other professional retail tracking services along with officially announced numbers by the manufacturers. After about a year, the founder of VGC, Brett Walton decided he was capable of tracking and predicting sales trends all by himself. If the wiki is accurate, there are now 10 people that "work" for VGChartz collecting and analyzing sales data to come up with the numbers they publish. They haven't disclosed how they do it, but their sample rate is insignificant enough that they cannot accurately track anything. It is pure guess work that rarely comes close to professional results or manufacturers results.

The only issue they'll be encountering is the laziness and incompetence of whatever dev is remaking. Be it GF themselves or the dev behind DP remakes.

Pokémon Black and White Doesn't Need a Remake - It Needs a Port

There isn't enough to improve in Pokémon Black and White to justify remaking it. Instead, Game Freak should make a port of these beloved games.

Antnee5341270d ago

They did this with diamond and pearl and those are the worst pokémon games to date because it's worse than the ds counterparts

-Foxtrot1270d ago

I'd rather they combine this and the sequel as one game, do it so the post game content is Black and White 2.

While I think B&W 2 were good we should have still gotten Pokemon Grey, some people liked holding on for a more complete beefy package compared to the originals.
