The only thing odd is how vgchartz fake sales number stories are still getting through the approval process. Fake reviews are quickly acted on but fake sales number stories are slipping through.
Vgchartz is run by a little kid who use to post fake sales numbers on the neogaf forums. He was the laughing stock of the board. His attempts to fool people to think he had access to sales data was hilariously pathetic. He was eventually banned for life from the forums.

Wow, regardless of what console you favor, you really have to stop and look in the mirror and ask yourself is this who I really want to be when you are rationalizing an outdated storage format.
Feel free to link to any posts of yours from last gen or previous gens where you were arguing against the 'wasteful DVD' format when games can easily fit on a CD. Or how CD are just for sloppy developers who only want to not use 'compression' and fill games ...
It's basically just a Resident Evil clone. Certainly nothing like the game it was hyped to be. Also, graphically it was quite a dud from the footage at E3. Not really surprising since it has been in development for so long and the engine is so old.
"But Microsoft secured a nice line-up for 2010."
Can't really tell if that was a sarcastic post or not.
Want? It has already failed just by its very nature.
The 360 is almost to its 4 year mark and what does Microsoft have to show for all that time? An overpriced Halo expansion being sold for 60 dollars.
That's it.
Instead of building up their first party studios, they've been closing them down.
Instead of updating the horribly outdated Halo graphics engine, they just cranked out this addon and sat on it for the holidays.
I finally saw in person the last CoD at a friends house a month ago. It was shocking how bad the game looked and just how incredibly average the game played. If I hadn't known it was this supposed big name title I would have thought it was nothing more than some random bargin bin miltary shooter.
The massive overhype for CoD seemed to start almost immediately after the actuall dissapointing Halo 3 graphics and gameplay became public. Losts of people in the media who were hardco...
Everyone has agreed this site will not tolerate anymore fake sales numbers from garbage sites like vgchartz.
vgchartz needs to be auto-rejected from the story submission queue.
Dude, look at your life.
Sitting around desperately googling for crap to try to smear the PS2 hoping it will somehow deflect the hardware failure nightmare Microsoft created with the Xbox 360.
Look in the mirror. Do you honestly think anyone wants to hear your garbage?
You're trying to smear a console that has been on sale for 9 years and some 138-9 million units sold worldwide.
00: "you've gone and done it now, hell's a comin"
And Xbox fans are constantly crying about why the rest of the gaming world despises the Xbox and its fans...gee, wonder why?
I never owned a PS2 last gen but had huge numbers of friends who did.
I had never had a single friend ever have a single problem with their PS2. Or any other console. I vaugley rembember hearing stories about some early Xbox'es and PS2s but that was it.
But it wasn't until the rrod fiasco started up that we magically had these 'stories' of about the PS2.
v1c1ous, get out of gaming. Sitting around in rrod stories posting the same 'I had x number of ...
kalebgray92: "i wish these stats were out before i used my money"
Xbox 360's were dying like mad in store demo stations everywhwere before the console launched.
Xbox 360's were dying like mad at game media sites before the launch.
There was a story of a guy who already up to his 10 or 11th 360 replacement in the first year.
The gaming forums were filled with gigantic threads of Xbox 360s dying like made right from launch to...
"ODST is just an expansion nothing more."
Exactly. Years ago when Halo was fresh, I could understand this attitude. I could see someone fretting over not giving everything Halo related 10/10s and the maximum hype.
But not anymore. It's a tired old franchise that has been milked dry by Microsoft.
There's nothing to 'figure out'. It's an overpriced expansion that Microsoft is trying to pass off as a real 60 dollar game. End of story. It's j...
Which game you think looks better, God of War 3 or Uncharted 2, it is amazing that everything we are seeing are actual screenshots and not those stupid fake Unreal Engine images companies always try to fool people with.
I don't understand how the PS3 can be putting out graphics that are so far beyond stuff on other consoles.
God of War 3, Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo 5, The Last Guardian, Ratchet and Clank
Wish I could go back to all the idiots on beyond3d who were talking so much BS two years ago about the PS3 graphics and shut them up with we are seeing with our own eyes.
If only we could go back in time to the months before the 360 launched and see the reaction of people who thought Microsoft was finally going to get it right with the 360 after having to pull the plug on the first Xbox disaster.
No one would have believed you if you told them in 3.5 years Microsoft would be in the position that:
# Bungie had gone third party
# The latest Halo's graphics are getting laughed at
# Eyetoy style motion co...
I should have waited for the game to hit the bargin bin. The over the top hype reminded me of the absurd GTA4 reviews. Button mashing combat and a collectathon.
I don't think I could stand to play another Batman or DC game if they use that same horrible Unreal Engine again. That smear everything in the background out with blur and characters made out of shiny plastic look makes me nausious. They have the cash now. Now excuse not to create a real next gen engine and dump that Un...
This should end any illusions that Microsoft was planning on sticking around in the main console market and trying to compete with Sony.
Microsoft is throwing in the towel on the main console market and trying to pull a Wii. Just look at what they have done over the past two years:
# closed down almost all their first party studios except Rare, Turn 10, and Lionhead
# let Bungie go third party
# let former big name third party exclus...
I thought vgchartz was banned from this site?
How can a site that puts out fake sales numbers not be banned?
"So Killzone 2 graphics for Halo MIGHT be possible, but I don't think Bungie is really up to the task."
That's like claiming Halo 3 graphics MIGHT be possible on the Wii.
It's a nice 'everybody's a winner' sentiment, but has nothing to do with reality.
"Dirt 2"
Amazing? No...
"Good news for Sony although IMO it will take at least 2 years to take 2nd overall. "
What a joke. Yeah, game developers and publishers around the world make their development plans by going to some little kid's website filled with fake sales numbers and monitor 'teh lead'.
