PS Vita Sales Slump Behind 3DS Again


At an investor meeting Nintendo compared last months 3DS sales to PS Vita sales, more details inside.......

The 3DS is outselling Sony's PS Vita in Europe by a factor of approximately 2:1 or greater each week, according to graphs released by Nintendo as part of its overnight conference with investors.

Whilst exact figures aren't available, a chart indicates that the 3DS has been shifting approximately 40,000 units per week on average, compared to PS Vita's 10,000 to 20,000 units.

Let us know how you think Sony can increase sales in the comments below!

And who gives a fuck

Peter said...

developers... Sold my vita, games are shite, will wait till next year when soeyhing wortn decent is released

Matt said...

 Peter is right.  More console sales means more developers and games on that platform. 
However, it isn't the 3ds you should be worried about.  In fact, the 3ds is the only device on the market HELPING Vita sales.  Their competition brings attention to dedicated handheld gaming and away from shitty iPhone games.

Rhodes said...

A console lives and dies by its software.I've not bought a game since the Vitas day of release.And I'm dying to buy a new game for it.Hopefully this is gonna change coz there's some decent looking titles on the horizon.

The_expendable90 said...

Nintendo will always beat Sony , there are too many japanese , corean and chinese fanatic people on earth. 

Levi_beko91 said...

True. 

Everybody knows that Sony is providing better games in term of graphics / story / gameplay 

Geo said...

PSP is better that DS
PS vita is better than 3DS
PS3 is better than Wii
PS2 is better than Gamecube
PS1 is better than N64

This is the truth , there are better games made by Sony

Daniel Thunder said...

Its becauses 3DS has ALL the F****** Games!!!
there are already hundreds of 3ds games. vita has what like 30?
the vita blows the 3ds away we just need tons of good games.. especially 3rd party games!!

Daniel Thunder said...

me :D

EvilRyu said...

@Matt  not all iphone games are shitty, i mean games like infinity blade, modern combat 3, and nova 3 make games like resistance burning skies look like a n64 game And are being sold at 6 dollars at the max, so i wouldn't rule out the iphone as a competitor just yet. the vita can handle at least 5x more graphics/processing than any other handheld sony just need to find the right developer. they never should of canned studio liverpool.

Alex Rainbird said...

I wouldn't say the truth, more of an opinion. What is the reasoning behind this?

Dakota said...

Why all the news I hear from this site are getting worse and worse....

Pss said...

I hate how everyone uses infinity blade as an example of a "good iphone game"

It's a point and click adventure where you swipe the screen every so often to "attack"

It's like playing a wii sports resort except on a tiny ass screen and with your finger...

Curtis Fay said...

dont.care.

Curtis Fay said...

derrice said...

utter shit .

derrice said...

agreed . this is a kids site for spotty geeks to pretend they are relevant .

Mcikes said...

Nintendo is for kids, Sony is for adults. Its like being worried that a Disney movies makes more money than a Tarantino movie. 

Christopher Chalek said...

Give it through Christmas, my guess is Sony will let the Vita die after the holidays, seen all those awesome AC:liberation commercials on primetime? No....Seen all the commercials for the new CoD on Vita? No....because Sony won't invest in the Vita, they probably don't have the resources at this point. Yes the Vita is amazing hardware, but whoever was responsible for getting software companies together failed and killed the Vita in the process. 

EvilRyu said...

I never said infinity blade was a good game i was just mentioning that not all iphone games are shitty and i specificly picked those games because of how good the graphics are compared to resistance, i quote *make games like resistance burning skies LOOK like a n64 game* note that i wasn't mentioning gameplay.

MarcusGOW said...

So true, Nintendo has become so cheap since the Gamecube. Then only reason that 3DS sells good is not because of it's 3rd party support or good games but because it's low cost. We know that the Vita is capable of much more,  you can get a 3DS (not the XL version mind you) for $100.00 new but the good thing is that the Vita is selling much better than what it was a few months ago the ratio was 4:1......SO that means Sony must be happier with the Vita :)

Ultrapieguy said...

The PS VITA is far superior to the 3DS, and the truth remains, but the 3DS is significantly cheaper than the VITA and the 3DS is marketed to generally younger age groups, so that the children will beg their parents for one. The VITA still beats out the 3DS in every aspect, so I'm not complaining.

Ryuzaki010 said...

nintendo legitimately only has 1 good game, Zelda.

Ryuzaki010 said...

infinity blade is gay, it's to repetitive it get's boring in like 5 min.. like all iphone games

MarcusGOW said...

 you are utter shit. Nintendo has been shit since N64. they continue to re-release the same games with the same stories with different names. it's sad really, they do not care about pleasing the customer or being creative with their software by creating new ips.

Shion_zenus said...

Psvita apps are suck and no Monster hunter play

donny said...

this is a stupid thing to say by nintendo.
the 3ds is already out for allmost 2 years and it still does not have real titles that hit the spot!
sony already had an Uncharted game on the vita coming out, and resistance was not bad either. thereby, Streetfighter x tekken, COD and Assasins creed liberation will make their entrance this month!!! and soon killzone, jetset radio, ragnarok oddyssey and many other titles will be released.i think we can even expect that Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and borderlands 2 are possible titles. bioshock was allready confirmed last year.

lets us not forget that the ps vita is only in stores since 22febr  this year.
also, nintendo has droped the 3ds price +/- 25%.
Ps Store is also a lot better then the nintendo store.
buying and playing psp or ps-one games is realy cheap, fun and easy to do.
if we talk about hardware or apps nintendo has already lost to the vita.
trust me, i have both a ps vita and 3ds myself!!
the 3ds is not a bad device at all. but the ps vita is a awesome device!!!
both platforms will have a nice future.

Shion_zenus said...

Psvita need update the apps
Facebook cant play videos
Facebook cant rotate screen play with singer hand
Facebook cannot live chat
Youtube cannot share videos
Web brower no flash and load page slow
Photo videos music cannot send

bionicwheel said...

 I have seen plenty of PS Vita ads on TV recently actually, and scene as though they recently announced they would support vita for a 10 year life cycle I don't think they are giving up yet.

MrKoopan said...

that explains why nintendo sells more systems every time (besides ps2) and people always get excited for their games, right


not like sony and there games, where everything is ripped off from something (not a bad thing) but playstation all stars is a rip-off, albeit a good fun one

but all sony has anymore are FPS's, and soon the last of us...another shooter, so they have the best shooters..per say, even though I'm a huge fan of halo..

they both have their ups and downs, but don't push your opinions as fact

MrKoopan said...

story and gameplay? nah, graphics hell yeah, but nintendo has games with way better stories, they're just harder to grasp, the gameplay is about even I'd have to say

MrKoopan said...

that doesn't make any sense, video games are video games, I'm 18 and love nintendo, always have.

but I also love sony, they had a great run on the ps2, but the thing is, video games are all for kids, beside the mature ones like GTA, but that won't stop a kid from playing it, no game is just for adults, or just for kids, it's all preference

MrKoopan said...

3ds doesn't have good games? weird, I have 14 great ones for it, I have 5 for the vita, and I got it early, 6 if you count when I borrowed uncharted, the vita will be good next year..maybe this year if everything falls down well, I'm incredibly excited for Ragnarok and playstation all stars, and I'm really excited for next years titles, but right now none of the games are really worth the $40 price point, subtract a few

derrice said...

so shit that 3ds outsells vita . statistics there you fucking twat .marcusGAY

Micah7wp said...

Really? I haven't seen to many adds for the vita... I just think that Sony can do more

Knkrf jjrjf said...

Not to mention that there isn't any YouTube in Scandinavia.

Ojha ÄŒojek said...

 mate check out soccer Champions league in Europe, ps vita is everywhere. They invest in advertizing  in the biggest sport on planet, no worries about vita at all. But lets be honest and say that vita for now is more bucks and less games. But it will come around as psp did and ps2 also. 

MarcusGOW said...

 I completely agree with you that Nintendo sells more than Microsoft, Sony or Sega franchises and systems and that Nintendo games do get fans excited but I think Sony is genuine in the fact that once they think a franchise is too old or grow tired of it, they tend to sell it off or make it available to other platforms. While I also completely agree with you that Sony All Stars Battle Royale is a rip-off of Super Smash Bros and Uncharted a rip-off of Tomb Raider (Which was actually an original IP from Sony anyways, not Eidos or Ubisoft) I think that Sony remains as the most original gaming company today. Examples of Sony's original IP's that have not been touched: Ico, Shadow of Colossi, Tearaway, Little Big Planet, Beyond Two Souls, Heavy Rain, Ratchet and Clank, Jak & Daxter are all not shooters but genre defying games in their own right. And i can see how Someone would say that LBG is a rip off of many platforming games (Mario, Rayman, ect.) but the thing that makes it so original is that is succeeds where they could not, even if it does not access the popularity of other well-known platform games and Uncharted revolutionized graphics in the gaming industry which even high end computer systems of today's gaming have not matched.
Any Forza = Gran Turismo rip-off
and yes, Nintendo may not rip-off many Sony games but judging by track record or (pre-exclusive Sony games) Nintendo has "stolen" many over the years :(

MarcusGOW said...

 dumbass, don't talk. nobody is listening. of course a piece of shit that is all dolled up to look nice is going to sell when you can get a 3DS only a $100 dollars brand new.

MarcusGOW said...

 Sony computer Entertainment of America is still owned by Japanese lol
Furthermore, Sony is a Japanese based company as is Ninitendo.

romandeltoro said...

games on N64 had better graphics than the ps1

MarcusGOW said...

 Ummm... Actually, Vita is commercialized more in the US and Japan than any other system currently (This includes Xbox 360, 3DS, Wii/WiiU). Although Forza Horizon has been on TV alot lately followed by Assassin's Creed 3/Assassin's Creed Liberation and Need For Speed: Most Wanted but commercials for the PS Vita system itself has been surpassing all other game related commercials by far.

MarcusGOW said...

 Play games on Vita, not apps. You will be happyer :D

Guest448 said...

Makes perfect sense. You can't compare a Tarantino movie to anything Disney cause Disney has a more wider appeal. 1. clearly for kids 2. Parents or Teens might continue to watch Disney because its something they grew up  or cause of they have kids. Versus a Tarantino movie that is usually bloody, gorey and full of violence (something most people stray their kids from as much as possible) not to mention most of his movies are for guys to watch and enjoy. not that Females can't or won't like, just less likely to happen.


But Alas, the video game part is true, it is all preference and I can honestly say I still like Mario but I am not very picky. NSMB2 for 3DS? Screw that, its an utter BS game COMPLETELY based on the gold coin. Nothing new except for the 3D. The levels are hard, nothing to strive for unlike the original SMB. Gonna have to go and agree with some and say that Zelda is about the only real good thing Ninty has left cause, at least for me, everything else is a serious Hit or Miss. Now Sony on the other hand, tries and comes out with various new IPs and such. Granted stuff like All-Stars can be considered a "clone" it actually mimics a different game and not what everyone thinks it mimics (hint hint, Smash Bros) but lets be honest, you know a more bloody brawler with all your favorite Sony toons is a lot better than the cartoony Smash Bros. 

Yami556 said...

Look, its either a good game or its crap, especially when it comes to phone gaming. NOVA 3 was like the only good game you mentioned and sadly, I can see it going the way of Angry Birds Trilogy and having a NOVA trilogy on PS360

MrKoopan said...

I like that you stopped sounding like a douche (sorry if that sounded sarcastic, it's genuine) I agree, nintendo needs more IPs, and second in line to me is sony, because the 360 is the biggest waste of money I've ever spent for the most part, not all of sony's games are rip-offs though, just all stars and the entire idea of the move, I'm just glad you're more understanding than most of the people on this site :)

MrKoopan said...

eh, to all his own I guess, I've never really disliked any Nintendo game, they just have that weird kind of appeal, while a lot of recent PlayStation exclusives kind of just feel the same, mostly because all of them are shooters now, and I love a good shooter, but it's getting to be too much


I'm excited for all stars and Ragnarok and sly 4 and the recently announced earth defense force 2017, but that's not many games (in my eyes) compared to my 3ds and soon to be Wii U, but Sony will get a move on and release all the good stuff next year (for the ps3)
and Microsoft will continue to shove halo in our faces (not a problem at all) while Nintendo will make new old things that appeal to people that played from the beginning 

Lol said...

Bullshit!

Stop pulling shit out of you're ass, the 3DS sells because it caters, it doesn't cater to you that's why you don't have it.

And 99? Again, bullshit.

Pacas_1369 said...

PS3 is probably better then the Wii U as well lol

edwin pena said...

toyota sells more than ferrari.... does this make toyota better?.... no just cheaper ;)

edwin pena said...

not probably... IS Better than wiiU.

edwin pena said...

LOL epic

edwin pena said...

you buy a vita for gaming....not for its facebook or youtube apps. you buy a 3ds for that ;) 

edwin pena said...

i never really disliked nintendo either up until the wii came out. they in my opinion forgot abiut the gamers and dedicated their eforts to the casual audience, and to sell gimmicks, (move controller, Balance board, that stupid finger sensor). i can count with one hand the wii titles that are worth your while.

edwin pena said...

and still, youre leaving comments.......

edwin pena said...

true, but wich ones are worth anything? they are mostly shovelware

edwin pena said...

then you need to get out more... there are already plenty of great games on the vita.
uncharted, wipeout, hotshots, rayman, unit 13, virtua tennis, littlebig planet, gravity rush, retro city rampage, metal gear hd, assassins creed is out next week,  i dont know what you talkin about, i love my vita

MrKoopan said...

I think that partially had to do with nintendo's poor marketing forr the system and it's "hardcore" games, It has a lot of amazing games (not just made by nintendo) that I wish people would play if they have a wii


there really are a lot more games that are worth your time than most think, it just takes extra looking around :)

1wiierdguy said...

Your opinion != the truth.

Unlawfulsalmon said...

N64 came out 3 years after the PS1

Tails the Foxhound said...

 Are you suggesting that Nintendo sells better because it's a Japanese company? 'Cause if so, I gleefully regret to inform you that Sony is a Japanese company too.

Dede Ogbe said...

So like u then? If not explain why ur still on this site leaving comments....

Ruru The destroyer said...

 harder to grasp? don't you mean to stupid to grasp for regular people but i guess stupid people can understand stupid

Wowcyber said...

MarcusGOW stop being such a fanboy, there's your 3DSxVITA sales number right there. If sony doesn't get it's ass kicked they will just continue to be lazy. I love my VITA and visit this site every other day just so I could get hyped by the games coming out. The fact is there ISNT MUCH! Nintendo makes hardware AND games. Sony doesn't! As much as I love the VITA, SONY IS A SLOUCH and they need to be kicked more financially so they would finally get that we need more games!

Dede Ogbe said...

5 ways of fixing it.
1. Cut the damn price, normal people arent gonna easily part from £250 just for a handheld system, unless they're fanatics. Why not go for a 3ds which £180. Cut the memory cards as well or bundle a 4G memory with each Vita console as standard.
2. Get games which actually make people want to go out and by a Vita, sure the vita is'nt getting a fantastic amount of support from 3rd parties. But Sony has a TON of fanchises which they could use to their advantage. These also need to target each specific market. Japanese people do not give a shit about Uncharted or Little Big planet, hard as it may seem. God of War Vita would be an instant seller.
3.Dont leave developments of major titles to shitty third rate developers. R:BS and COD by Nihilistic is a great example of Sony shooting themselves in the foot. Make sure the developers are up to the task.
4. This may sound stupid but KILL the Psp. There cant be two captains of a ship. Developing and releasing major titles on the Psp, is NOT helping the situation. Espcially in Japan. I can already see the nightmare that is to come this christmas when they release One Piece on the Psp, and if we use the sales of the previous ps3 game in Japan as an indicator am pretty sure that things will not go all to well for the vita.Get developers to switch their productions to the Vita. Pay them if need be.
5. A Decent schedule for releasing the games. It was only in September that games actually started to come in again. Sony seriously cant afford another game drought again. People dont want to get a system they will rarely use. get it sorted

Rodrigo said...

 We see a lot of Nintendo players cause the nintendo are not hardcore as Sony Games... Nintendo make games for families...

Guesto said...

>_> cus capcom suck.. that's why they choose 3ds

Guesto said...

yep agreed,,, 

lul what game !? mario, mario, and mario ?

Lololer said...

looks like korean ppl write their own race as "corean"

Lololer said...

LOL

Guesto said...

Facebook app update -> ask FB devs. 

Youtube app update -> ask YT devs
WebBrowser no flash !? -> ask adobe .. but looks like they gave up on flash mobile
Photo/Videos/Music sending via bluetooth !? -> this one ask for Sony

Guesto said...

cus nihilistic suck.. look at Killzone Mercenary

Moronotron said...

You should try reading peoples posts properly before replying.Most of those games you mention were launch titles or just plain crap.And if you own even half of them its you who needs to get out more.That's if your Mum lets you coz you sound about six years old judging by this and other posts.But hey; You love your Vita. Lol.

Psycho-chiatrist said...

Do you have special needs?

Big Erol said...

Racist.

Bullsniffer said...

What an insight.

Lol said...

And i5 quad core pcs are about 800 and dual core iMac are 1,000, are you telling me iMacs are better because they aren't as cheap as pc's?

Now I understand this was irrelevant, but was your car comparison.
Yes, the Vita is significantly stronger than the 3DS, everyone knows that, but what's the point when its catering to a small percentage of the market, devrlopers aren't going to risk financial lost if less than the establish vita audience is going to buy their games.

That's like having a ferrari but only getting 1/2 a tank of gas every month, what's the point? (See what I did there? I brought it back full circle!) XD

UhLame. said...

Thanks for your stultifyingly il-informed comments.They're so illuminating.

Objdadon said...

Why these articles? The 3ds is cheap, duh!!!

MarcusGOW said...

 I didn't say the 3DS XL, but a regular 3DS yes is $99 throughout the holidays in America. Look for it.

MarcusGOW said...

Vita is for har-core gamers, of course the 3DS is more rounded for a larger audience. And i beg to differ, many developers will risk, it's happening already as more and more titles are being announced for the Vita. It's just a question of time really.

MarcusGOW said...

 For me it was the release of N64. While i can understand people's love for it, for me the controller was obnoxious, the graphics were bad compared to the 32-bit PS1. When Wii was released it nearly killed off the rest of my love for Nintendo...It's as if Nintendo had back-traveled in terms of graphics when compared to gamecube. Not that games are all about graphics but when you take a beautiful game like Star Wars Rouge Squadron II for gamecube and can not find any games on Wii that look as good, it's really bothersome to me and the WiiU which has cool features is 7 years behind and just now catching up to the PS3 and 360 :(
I just expected more from Nintendo is all....

MarcusGOW said...

 Capcom has always favored systems with lower graphics capability. This way they don't have to work as hard on graphics...when was the last time we saw a beautiful Capcom game? *excluding the Resident Evil franchise of course*

MarcusGOW said...

 Dumbass, you're a troll. No one listens to you and yes...unfortunately i do have a 3DS. LOL that bitch! BWUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Anonimous said...

Who cares about the graphics?

Shion_zenus said...

Phone is make to calling people why people make phone can play game ? Facebook ?youtube ?

Munky160 said...

I sold my vita for a 3ds. Nuff said. Sony doesn't support its own console. Nintendo looks after its players. I'm a hardcore gamer. But on the handheld front I support nintendo and deep down I always have. Even back to the old gameboys etc. Nintendo get it right everytime. Its not all about graphics.

hiro2724 said...

Its not true.... dont be a dumb fanboy (i owned almost any Nintendo and Sony console) and ofc high end PC setups.

This is the REAL TRUTH:

PC will be the first forever > PS3 > Xbox360(well, Xbox 360 in multiplatform games and PS3 in exclusives) > Vita < 3DS < Wii and 1st Xbox on par, maybe Xbox is better because Wii was basically a OC-ed GameCube < GameCube < PS2 < N64 < PS1 slightly better than Sega Dreamcast

So, N64 was better than PS1 overall tech wise.... 4 controllers and split screen gaming, better loading times due to cartridges, better graphics than PS1 and not a small margin, N64 controller had the first rumble and first analog stick etc... the only N64 problem is CARTRIDGES, MORE EXPENSIVE AND LESS DATA, PS1 HAD CDS AKA 700MB AND CHEAPER, BUT CARTRIDGES ARE BETTER IN LOADING TIMES.

GameCube was better than PS2 in terms of power
(not much though) and 1st Xbox was the best in terms of power..... so, PS3 was the only Sonys mostpowerful system (not the 3rd like you said).

hiro360 said...

 We dont know yet..... and FOR NOW thats not true, why?

1. PS3 Bluray data transfer ratr 9 MB/s versus Wii U "bluray based disc" data transfer rate 22 MB/s..... + for Wii U

2. PS3 split memory or in simle words.... 256 MB Video RAM and 256 MB RAM (very fast RAM but not much memory) versus Wii U 1GB for games and 1GB for OS and other stuff...... + for Wii U

3. PS3 GPU aka RSX is based on G70 arhitecture or in other words nVidia 7800 GTX GPU but RSX is a bit "cuted" ersus Wii U "AMD HD Radeon based GPU" or in other words High Definition AMD GPU and 7800 GTX is on par with ATI X1800- X1950..... now, AMD was rebranded with AMD HD 6000 series GPU, so, Wii U GPU is probably minimum a modified HD 6000 GPU or HD 7000 GPU (we dont know yet, still no full specs)...... but all in all, + for Wii U and NOT a small margin.

4. CPU? we dont know yet, we know only its "IBM Power@ Based"....... Xbox 360 CPU is PowerPC and PS3 CPU is Cell but also based on the PowerPC arhitecture, Xbox 360 CPU shares some similarity with Cell but obiviously Cell is more powerful.

edwin pena said...

oh, so i get it... your one those many who prefer nintendogs and cooking mama over uncharted and assassins creed and killzone. hey you want to blow your money over on shovelware it your call. lol

edwin pena said...

so youre basically saying with alll this that nintendo is actually going to be on par with current gen consoles......thats cool and all, but they are 6 years late!!! since its expected that next year the next gen consoles are likely to be announced.  so that means that nintendo will still be one generation behind than xbox and ps3. imo thats a big faill. wiiU should have bean released instead of the wii

edwin pena said...

thats why phones are not meant to be dedicated gaming units. they do a little bit of everything mediocrely.....thats why phone games only take up to 10Mb, cost a buck, and you have to play with imaginary control surfaces. but its okay, go buy a $500 phone so you can play angry birds and stil have your stupid facebook, and youtube.....

MrKoopan said...

that was the most ignorant comment on anything I've read all month, tallyho!


but yeah, some games have a deeper meaning behind them than "QUICK LET'S SHOOT ALL THE MOTHER-FUCKERS IN THE FACE!" or, "go here, get that, earn an achievement/trophy."

play the game mother 3, or any zelda game, or any pokemon, or metroid, or pikmin, and you'll know what I mean

but play mother 3, seriously, go play it, wit the translation patch, play it yo

edwin pena said...

unit 13, virtua tennis, littlebig planet, gravity rush, retro city rampage, metal gear hd,marvel vrs capcom, street fighter tekken, assassins creed, most wanted, killzone, bioshock; are NOT launch titles. just saying, and really "your mom"??? WTF who sounds like he is six?

MrKoopan said...

yeah, monster hunter Tri-G, or if you want one for sony, monster hunter portable 3rd. HD version on PS3, both are equally fantastic looking, hell even Tri on the Wii looked gorgeous

MarcusGOW said...

 Look dumbass, Sony does "make" hardware and games. They are not only a publisher but have been a developer of games since the beginning of their time and involvement in video games.
DO SOME RESEARCH before opening your mouth lol
Sony has had and still does have more IP's and original franchises and characters than Nintendo. Sounds like you're the fanboy. I have both 3DS XL and VIta nad love them both, fact is that Vita is better in every way possible.

MarcusGOW said...

 Thank you, some people on this site get on my nerves such as Derrice, LOL and someone else i can't remember. Appearently they think i'm an "exclusive fanboy" which i am not. I try to be fair when it comes to the simple argument of Sony vs. Nintendo since I like them plus Sega and Microsoft but they seem to troll lol

MarcusGOW said...

YOUR TRUTH = Tainted.
PC games have long since lost their crown when 360 came out.
360 shatters any high end PC of today, as does PS3,
I have yet to see a PC game that's graphics will match are be at least capable of what PS3 pushes out on Uncharted 3.
PC's top games fail, you cannot name any PC game with the playability that can match the graphics and playability of a PS3.

PC and labtops have far too much applications running in the back ground, thus wasting ram and causing a lack of memory and making PC's not optimal for gaming. No matter how powerful, they are outmatched by a PS3/360 from 6 years ago. You would be lying if you said that you could shut down the running applications of a PC and run the game only because over 20 apps are needed to run ALWAYS in the background of a PC to not crash.

Furthermore, you could argue that a PC of today can run 4 Ghz, 4 Gb of RRAM, 5 Terabytes or HDD but that's nothing because no game developer is going to develop a game for that kinda system...well not until 10 years from now. So your point is far from valid.

You can run any game on your PC with setting on maximum for everything but it will not matter. PS3 and 360 will have more detail, higher resolution (if hooked up to the same monitor) and run better and smoother than your PC.

PC gaming is obsolete, you are living in the past... somewhere from 2000-2005, where PC was at it's peak. And it's not likely to go back or anywhere in that direction again.

SOOOOO....
THE REAL TRUTH:
PS3&WiiU>Vita>360>Tablets & Phones>PC & Labtops

Lol said...

 HELL NO! lol but i do prefer zelda to uncharted, not because i think its better, but because its my favorite series period, see im an old school gamer who likes games that appeal to me. PLUS, i dont hate games or systems/companys, i hate fanboys. lol i always have these discussions, and im constantly being called a sony fanboy/ nintendo fanboy/ microsoft fanboy because i voice my opinion about them.

as of now, im dissapointed in all 3 companies, equally.

Lol said...

Define "hardcore"

MarcusGOW said...

 No, you're not worth it.

MarcusGOW said...

 No i understand, no need to be sorry. I am in Japan but my comment was meant for American capcom games. I just wish capcom would do more :( but i agree

edwin pena said...

so by "hardcore" you mean mario galaxy, mario kart, smash bros, zelda, and basically any game with "mario" or "wii" in its title...... You and I have a very diferent opinion of what is a harcore gamer. just cause you play mario party or wii bowling 8 hours a day doesnt make you harcore, LoL  

hiro360 said...

 No, its not on par actually.... HD radeon series VS X series Radeon, its a huge difference BUT BUT, WE DONT KNOW the full specs..... so, you could be right, but also me could be right. or me.

Wii U released instead of Wii in 2005 year? AMD HD series GPUs didnt existed in 2005-06 and HD 2000 - HD 3000 isnt in production today..... cmon lets be serious,  its common sense. Its like saying my high end PC (i5 2500K and GTX 580 is on par with PS3 and Xbox 360?), WTF? its 256 MB VRAM vs 1 GB VRAM probably (they said 1 GB for games), probably not only that, better shaders, higher clocks etc.

BTW i own a PC, PS3 and Wii.... and i just want good games and dont be mad, its nothing strange really.

 You serious? you really serious? WTF? its true for laptops actually (more expensive than PC setups and less powerful or maybe Alienware setups, Apple etc) but if you BUILD YOUR OWN CUSTOM PC than its far ahead any console and not expensive (example, a 300-500 $ PC is still stronger than PS3 and Xbox 360).... serious, how old are you? i have nothing against consoles (i love both Nintendo and Sony consoles, exclusives etc)....

Game developers are not puting much effort for PC, yeah, thats right but that doesnt means PCs are less powerful or something like that..... PS3 and Xbox 360 aren real FULL HD consoles aka 1080p consoles, most games are running natively at 720p or even some games less than that, thats "HD", games are just scaled to 1080p, you know, aspect ratio 16:9 etc.

Example for Uncharted 3 and yes, i agree it really looks good but:

Uncharted 3 = 1280x720 (edge detect) in 2D, 896x504 in 3D...... thats HD, not FULL HD and that game is running at 30 frames per second.

You know, just because PC dont have good 3rd party developers like Sony and Naughty Dog or Nintendo and Rare (today Retro Studios because most developers left Rare) etc, that doesnt means MULTIPLATFORM games arent looking better on PCs, i can play in FULL HD (1920x 1080, MAXED OUT SETTINGS AND MORE THAN 60 FPS) and this is less powerful? (in your dreams), ofcourse GRAPHICS IS NOT EQUAL TO GOOD GAME AKA GAMEPLAY ETC, YEAH IT NEVER WILL BE EQUAL TO THAT!!!

You said Xbox 360 steals gamers from PCs? well, thats not true? you know why? because:

1. The official Xbox 360 is supported on PC + keyb/mouse is good for RTS, FPS and MMORPG games.

2.PC has better graphics in multiplatform games and more stable frame rate

3. Games are cheaper for PC (Steam, Origin and physical copies)...

Well, the only problem with PC ARE PIRATES AND MOR CHEATERS / HACKERS and ofc some REALLY BAD XBOX 360 PORTS

Last, my high end PC eats cca 1.5GB of RAM (have 4 GB) and i can still play all games in high settings, without any lag and true FULL HD resolution. Again, i never said consoles are shit or something like that.. its not true.

 BTW i can connect my PC easly to TV via HDMI or Monitor via DVI or HDMI.

hrio2724 said...

 lol i meant:

1. The official Xbox 360 controller, not Xbox 360 lol

Games are coming, we just have to be patient, and those that are on here don't suck... you have to play the right games, not just the third party games.

You folks can scream that sony is better than nintendo but let's face the facts that nintendo has sold more than playstation and xbox put together. Sure its not aimed at hardcore players but there is no arguments that nintendo is a total power house.

 Honestly, the longer Sony and Microsoft wait to bring their eighth generation consoles out, the more advanced technology will become, and the cheaper it will be to produce.   Plus, why should they bring out a console?   See how it fares against the Wii U, while it is a new system, will the Wii U have trophies/achievements?    Will the online suck?   The Wii U's STILL only use SD cards and limited memory, so as soon as the PS4 and Xbox 720 actually are released, Wii U will suffer the same fate as the Wii.   The PSVita can do what the Wii U gamepad can do, and support is already there on the PS3, granted, the Wii U will support this with every game, and if sony wants to compete to prolong the lifespan of the PS3, they will follow suit, can the 3ds duplicate what the Wii U can produce?  Hell no.   The Vita has as much power as the PS3, and produces graphics at 50%, the only problem is the game cards currently are limited to 4GB.   Once they are able to raise this to 8-16GB expect games to become a lot more complex.

 If Xbox was that successful, why did the PS2 dominate it, and even sell better than the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in 2007?   When you have 145 million consoles, people are not going to adapt to the new systems if they can get the same games for cheaper.   Not to mention PS3 looks like garbage on an analog TV.   Most people didn't change this until the Slims came out in 2009.

DS is cheaper than PSP
3DS is cheaper than PS vita
Wii is cheaper than PS3
