I've never understood animal crossing. Is it a thriving chatroom-likr kind of game?

It's just a life simulator.  Literally.  Pulling weeds out of your yard, paying rent, doing chores, decorating your house, etc. only it's fun.


yeah i had it on gamecube and was actually really excited for it. But then it just got boring. What was I missing?

Do people send each other naked pics? Or is it a way of "confessing" to loves? 

You weren't missing anything, the game just isn't for you.  I had the Cube version too and I stopped playing after three months.  I've never bought an AC game since.  But I can see the game's appeal and I did enjoy it for a bit.  But ultimately it wasn't for me either.

OMG the Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney drop! I'm devastated, this game is so fabulous... Another victim of the nintendo monopoly on 3DS. But it's not that bad because it means that the franchises will come to Vita in the future.

The WiiU launch is interesting, because nearly all the games bombed. Only the awaited big sellers achieved decent numbers : WiiU is in for a big drop next week. The TecmoKoei games were very weak in particular despite the numerous bonuses of the WiiU versions : I hope it will teach those publishers not to betray their existing PS3 fanbase.

From start to finish...I'm amused. 

Did I write something wrong? And btw I shall add that since all the games bombed, Japanese 3rd party support is far from guaranteed for WiiU.

The PS3 has great software sales in comparison though.


Yakuza 5 certainly gave the PS3 some shoulder room in the software charts.

So?

So...how about them Patriots?

 

But seriously.  What kind fo a response was that?  So?  I made an observation based on your chart that gave positive support to Sony and you throw back a "So?"
Hell, you didn't respond to the question I asked that proceded my observation.

Are you sure there's no sweet multiplayer stuff im missing?



PS3 higher then usual.....oh wait its Yakuza week. The FIFA of Japan :P



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

decent launch for wiiU, but really good numbers for 3DS. nintendo is really cleaning up in japan.



WiiU, 3DS, PS3, and PSP all performed as expected. Vita looks ood, although you'd have hoped for more.



3DS >210K, putting it ahead of PS£ LT sales. going to top 10M very soon.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

And so begins the complete Nintendo domination.

Good first week for WiiU, needs to keep above 100k next week though really!

So?

I think the point he's trying to make is, if you took that graph last week, or next week, or almost any other week, the PS3 would have a far lower marketshare. 

But I see your point. Fact is, games release and big ones will skew the figures. I do think you're cherry-picking slightly to dethrone the WiiU's launch as it were, but there you go. If it can stay above 25% next week then all power to it.
