On to other news The NFL Lockout Is Over.

"Are You Ready For Some Football"

maniacmayhem5408d ago (Edited 5408d ago )

HELL YEA!

Time to dust off my niner gear

BeOneWithTheGun5408d ago

'Cause their last winning season has dust dating back to the Jurassic Era!

GO SEAHAWKS!

FalconR2895408d ago

That may be so, but at least they have won a super bowl. So go 9ers!

kamakaz3md5408d ago

lmao, 9ers blow... but ur comment was funny

Dude i rate u for that. Totally made me laugh

JellyJelly5408d ago

It's kind of like rugby, but for pussies.

Hicken5408d ago

Yeah, cuz rugby players would really wanna mess with guys who average more than 350lbs.

shikamaroooo5407d ago

@hicken
Dude in NFL they wear protective gear ............. enough said

D0ffy5407d ago

That genuinely made me laugh.

spektical5407d ago

funny thing football is a lot more physical than rugby.. i def dont get injured as much playing rugby that getting tackled full force by a safety.

Hicken5407d ago

I wonder WHY they... no, you know what? Nevermind. You get you an all-star rugby team, and I'll grab an all-star football team, and we'll see how many players from each side wind up in the hospital.

There's a reason people don't worry about broken necks and brain damage in rugby, while it's a big concern in the NFL DESPITE that protective gear you so badly wanna point out.

you people do know these are vgchartz numbers

paintsville5407d ago

yeah when VGchartz favor ps3 it's da bomb.

Let's analyze shall we? ps3 #1 for 7 days but #3 installed base for 5 years. hmmmmmm Yep I can see why they're excited.

Jocosta5408d ago

But they under track Ps3 numbers, so its ok /s

Anon19745408d ago

Indeed. Historically, they have been close with their Xbox 360 figures, but their PS3 numbers are always short, usually as much as by 20-30% until they make adjustments. NPD group once commented that their sample of the US market was roughly 60% while VGChartz had about a 2% sample and extrapolated from that.

If one's looking at VGChartz just to gain a ballpark figure, it is certainly interesting that they have the PS3 up almost a million consoles over the 360 this year, given that their 360 numbers have been verified as pretty close once again and their PS3 numbers are always short.

I guess we'll know soon enough how the first six months of 2011 have come out. Sony releases their official numbers this week.

DaTruth5408d ago (Edited 5408d ago )

"I guess we'll know soon enough how the first six months of 2011 have come out."

We know now! It will end up like it always does; PS3 sells more consoles than 360 worldwide!

Doesn't matter what VGChartz says; it has always been this way and there's no reason it should change now. Just like 360 will outsell PS3 in North America; I don't need NPD to know this!

YodaCracker5407d ago

@DaTruth

What are you talking about? Sony and Microsoft released their numbers for the first quarter of 2011 and the 360 outsold the PS3 by 600,000 units. But I guess those numbers just slipped right past you, huh?

I guess you only see "DaTruth" if it's in your favor.

Jan. - Mar. 2011

360 - 2.7 million

PS3 - 2.1 million

kreate5408d ago

they track their numbers in favor of the xbox360.

YodaCracker5407d ago (Edited 5407d ago )

So they favored the Xbox 360 by UNDERtracking it by a whopping 200,000 UNITS in North America for June? 200,000 units in one month. Almost half of its total sales for the month.

kreate5407d ago

in general dude. in general.
not 100% they favor the 360.

MOTY5407d ago

Oh...so VgChartz "sometimes" under tracks the 360 and "sometimes" they don't. I guess it just depends on what side of the bed they wake up on then huh?

"hmm hey for sh1t's and giggles, lets under track the 360's sales for this month and then next month we will over track them. That way we can keep screwing with the Sony Fanboys heads. Sometimes they will agree with us and use our sources, and sometimes they won't....it will depend on if our sources agree with their argument at the time. They won't know what to believe anymore....MUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA& quot;

Ya...right.

kreate5407d ago (Edited 5407d ago )

it doesnt depend on which side of the bed they wake up on.

in general, trying to keep up with such numbers and statistics are difficult.
they change their numbers a lot and ive seen them undertracking sony's number more than the 360's.

dont worry. ur 360 outsells the ps3 in america and vgchartz does a better job at tracking those 360 numbers.

at the same time, they dont accurately count ps3's worldwide sales for some odd reason. . maybe those are the times they wake up on the so called 'wrong side of the bed'

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

Relientk7716d ago

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde23d ago

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.

Soy23d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

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

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7725d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga25d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199224d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga24d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger24d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box25d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion24d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7225d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7524d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14924d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7724d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
