:)

but really... weekly sales by VG charts should not be news but whateva

FlameHawk5328d ago

Not really because there is no way to actually get the right number of sales worldwide without the help of the Publishers. And even then its hard.

NukaCola5328d ago (Edited 5328d ago )

Who cares we have been through too many times. They are a rough estimate and are not accurate. Please stop taking them to heart and stop taking them seriously.

Anyway, good job to Dark Souls! Doing so much better than Demon's Souls. Glad to see a hidden gem really getting some fame and getting out there with it's sequel!

And PS2 why are you forever eternal? Amazing tos ee this thing continues to sell so much after all these years.

ShaunCameron5328d ago

@ NukaCola

It looks like XBox 360 owners want no part of Dark Souls. LOL

Denethor_II5327d ago

@ShaunCameron What did you expect?

MasterCornholio5327d ago

@Shauncameron

I will tell you why. Because of Kinect the 360 user base are filled with wimpy casuals who can't handle dark souls.

lol I am just kidding. The reason why the ps3 version Sells more than the 360 one is because the first game was exclusive to the PS3.

so VGcharts gets sales figures from publishers... interesting...

FlameHawk5328d ago

I actually never said that they got them from Publishers.

WANNAGETHIGH5328d ago

People should stop b1tching about VGC charts..They are just estimating numbers. Its just like record sales most music sites estimate numbers,Its imposible to get the 100% accurate numbers as this games sale thousands every hour wordlwide.

Ulf5328d ago (Edited 5328d ago )

They have to adjust their PS3 numbers up by about 10% every quarter, and adjust Nintendo numbers down by about the same amount every quarter. It's very likely that *actual* PS3 sales WW, this week, were about 195K, and *actual* 3DS sales WW, this week, were about 205K.

It makes sense that they usually have good numbers for MS, since their data sources are mostly in the US, iirc.

I think the lack of faith, in their reporting, comes from the fact that they don't seem to want to adapt to their own system's blatantly obvious flaws. Instead, they play some sort of wierd Nintendo fanboy game -- their forums are basically a Nintendo fanboy cheerleading squad, and they seem to want to please them above actually reporting more accurate estimates.

VampiricDragon5328d ago

vg chartz is no better or worse than any other source that estimates sales

Anon19745328d ago (Edited 5328d ago )

Well, I agree that vgchartz weekly figures really don't need to be posted...
"happy i dumped my 360 stock"

What the PS3 and 360 contribute to the stock price of each company is insignificant, just as fluctuations in console hardware sales mean zero to the stock price. It's just too small compared to the whole company. MS could announce they're pulling out of making 360's tomorrow and the stock would most likely go up as investors would most likely view that as a freeing up cash for more profitable ventures. About a year ago the principal analyst of the Enderle Group referred to the entire Entertainment division at Microsoft as a “vampire” whose “profit, which wasn’t much, was massively offset by the economic cost it caused to the corporation.”

The only company that is effected by these types of figures is Nintendo because it's pretty much why the company exists.

Gamer19825327d ago

no doubt 360 sales in US keep it pegging with ps3. FIFA selling better by far on ps3 though and since it's bigger in Europe than America it shows which console is in most homes nowadays in Europe at least.

Keep it up Nintendo..I can't wait to see how high sales go for the 3ds once the holidays hit.

lazertroy5328d ago

you guys need to add the PS2 to that default pic.

+ Bub for PS2 right to be in the picture.

clrlite5328d ago (Edited 5328d ago )

oOoO, look at Dark Souls (PS3). With all this success, they better not get all "main streamy" on me. I suppose instead, they will set an example for others and hard core games will become even more popular.

Also, newcomers looking for more will undoubtedly go pick up Demon's Souls at one point or another. For sticking with us hardcore gamers, they deserve every penny they earned and much more to come.

Excellent numbers for the consoles and handhelds. Those that say dedicated gaming devices are losing momentum are living in a fantasy world.

Gaming FTW!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio17d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing16d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing16d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
