Nice to see the 3DS, Ps3, and Vita doing well and in the top three this week.

CaptainofCrush5161d ago

How is consistently dropping 20% on a weekly basis doing well?

Dante1125161d ago (Edited 5161d ago )

But none of those handhelds or consoles have been consistently dropping 20% on a weekly basis in Germany. It's been up and down these few past weeks, but even though somehow still manages to outpace the 360 each week.

Edit: Seems that I angered some loyalists here by my "top three this week" comment lol. Pretty funny if you check for comments similar to mine for another console in the UK charts.

In a country of almost 82 milllion people, selling 7k consoles is good?

FatGayandbald5161d ago

Not everything is as it seems tho, most of that population is old they have massive problem with not enough youth and are actually forcast to drop to 70million over a few decades.

Besides its impossible to get sales numbers for european countries, literally vg chartz make these up unless they got a guy at every retail head office stealing data.

ElementX5161d ago

Yeah, most of the world doesn't have official numbers and I suppose the population is aging.

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.

solideagle18d 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

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.

jznrpg24d 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.

Smellsforfree24d 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.

Loktai23d 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.
