wow, vita is holding its own, that is if these numbers are factual, considering that its vg chartz..

GribbleGrunger5180d ago

it's all we have to go by. i've always followed these numbers for better or worse; whether it favoured my console of choice or not. i'd agree: Vita numbers are healthy and PS3 is doing pretty darn well too. 3DS is proving the Ipad/Iphone fanboys wrong as usual.

SilentNegotiator5179d ago (Edited 5179d ago )

Man, the Vita is looking more and more doomed all the time. Less than 40K behind its direct competitor...shoot.

/sarcasm

pandaboy5180d ago (Edited 5180d ago )

sony doing pretty well here; surprised at those PSP numbers... why wouldn't you want a Vita instead. Perhaps the lack of Japanese tailored software in comparison to the PSP?

Interesting point; if the ps3 outsells the 360 by that margin every week if will surpass it in sales by the end of the year. However, we all know how strong MS is during the holiday period and especially with Halo4 expected it will be a difficult task.

rezzah5180d ago

That and more likely the fact that it is more expensive.

The reason why the PS2 still sells is because it is cheap and offers a large variety of games.

When the PS3 drops to a really low price sales will shoot up. Same with Vita.

GribbleGrunger5180d ago

absolutely! proof, if it was ever needed, that games is going to accelerate PSvita sales in Japan... well, at least to a healthy degree

arnyftw5180d ago

The Vita is too expensive for most the world and the PSP probably had a price cut making it more affordable.

xursz5179d ago

Not even the price of an iPhone. And the iPad is nearly 800$ yet Apple lays one out every year for iBots to flock to like flies on shit.

pandaboy5180d ago (Edited 5180d ago )

It also seems as though the more niche multiplatform and sports titles sell a lot more strongly on the ps3 these days. 360 will always have the monopoly on the big hitters this gen though.

edit: The Vita really isn't too expensive. Note the amount of yuppies and hipsters paying up to £1000 for apple laptops that you would pay half the price for better specs on PC/laptop. The recession is long over, granted people are more frugal now, however, the Vita is priced perfectly in its value for money.

Maybe in developing countries PSP will be the go to gaming device but gaming has never really been of particular interest in these places anyway.

Numbers are fake. If you want actual numbers go to NeoGAF. That is all.

tiffac0085179d ago (Edited 5179d ago )

Doesn't NeoGAF base their sales from NPD and Mediacreate too? I believe VGchartz corrects their numbers in the end to align with those numbers as well.

@Strikepackage Bravo (below)

We'll find out if that is truly the case once the 1st qtr shipments of this year arrives because the speculations is the retailers over estimated the demand of the 360 during the holidays.

If there is a substantial dip in the 360's 1st qtr shipments then more than likely MS over-shipped last year due to the retailers lack of foresight but if the shipment remains steady as it was last year then the discussion is pretty much final for 2011.

And I believe the 2011 shipments was actually a tie wasn't it?

Congratulations to SONY and NINTENDO the best selling consoles of all time

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

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

jznrpg22d 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.

Smellsforfree22d 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.

Loktai22d 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.
