          1. they will lose another 6,2 billion.and i hope sony will close for ever and nintendo will prevail on gaming (childish accend lol)

            1. Sony are good competition for Nintendo, it’s just that their fans and, to some extent, their higher employees are just so arrogant and stupid.

              1. Kind of like everywhere, though. Nintendo is my favourite since forever, but I also like Sony pretty much. I only hate MS to tell the truth lol.
                Anyway, I personally think MS/Xbox fans tend to be a lot more arrogant than PS3 fans. Just like Apple fanboys tend to be a lot arrogant about their overpriced products.

  1. Sony is like all goverments, saying everything is ok when in reality it’s the complete opposite :D
    Mii, Wii and U ftw!

      1. True but since ps2/Walkman days, they haven’t really produced anything that has made in impact in technology, once Walkman was a generalization of all portable personal audio devices, now it’s all iPod this iPad that. They probably make more of a profit in the music/film industry, but I don’t know anyone who buys an album or movie just because it has Sony printed on the box.

        1. Still, without necessarily innovating, they’re good at making the stuff they make. I have a Sony MP3 player, to hell with iStuff. I don’t know for ALL of their stuff, but a majority of it I heard they’re good (tvs, stereo…).

    1. buddy you need to breath deep first before commenting something like that! and then after breathing!! go!!
      I HATE SONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see much better! :D

      1. anyway sony have failed but they wont stop copying nintendo.(at least nintendo copies less than sony and microsoft or should i say the least).
        SONY SUCKS

        1. well they been copying companies since day one, everyone knows that, but there fanboys like to ignored that statement

  2. What a terrible piece of journalism. Like seriously, no context given to those figures at all. Are they good? Bad? Awful? Brilliant? We have no way to know.

    The site has really gone to shit.

    1. Says the guy who writes for site called toilet fodder. Please keep real journalism alive Ryan somethingorother.

    2. You can figure that yourself, although that averages about 70 000 consoles and handhelds per week – most of which will be from the new 3DS, not the ageing Wii. People know of the Wii U, and won’t bother getting a Wii now.

      I think that’s pretty good.

  3. Sony said nothing about it, hmh? So basically they are shit. No wonder, they, basically, doing nothing for the Vita, in a 1st party manner. I bough a Vita, and I kinda regret it, since it isn’t getting that many good games, and even the recent 1st party title, Resistance: Burning Skies, was just mediocre.

  4. Surprised there isn’t thread already, anyway, the following stolen from ‘gaf:

    Software:

    1.) Diablo 3 (PC) Activision Blizzard

    5.) NBA 2K12 (360, PS3, Wii, PSP, PS2, PC) Take-Two Interactive
    6.) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (360, PS3, Wii, PC) Activision Blizzard
    7.) Sniper Elite V2 (360, PS3) 505 Games
    8.) Battlefield 3 (360, PS3, PC) Electronic Arts
    9.) Dragon’s Dogma (360, PS3) Capcom
    10.) Just Dance 3 (Wii, 360, PS3) Ubisoft

    1. Are you a pervent? you need help because ya say things that they dont exist sir mactavish motherfucker

  5. So nintendo who gave a huge price cut to the 3Ds, Drop the Price on the DSi, DSiXL, and also Wii, sold more than Company’s that are still selling there current system at almost twice the price of the wii, and have less consoles on the market (example: MS) sold less than Nintendo?
