3DS and PS3 are purely awesome on the SW charts. I didn't really expect Wii and Wii U to be that close, however.

Man, the 3DS deserves it. Such a great system.

Cant wait to see the Pokemon/MonHun impact. Things are gonna be crazy.



                            

well 3DS is king ;)



The 3ds's success is exactly why I'm not worried about the future of the Wii U. The games will come, and the system will sell.



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
