In regards to the handheld gaming being so popular, have you seen an apartment in Tokyo? They are seiously around 350sq ft (~100 square meters) a 42" HDTV would fill their entire living room!

...

Technical fix: 350 ft^2 is about 32 m^2, in case any metric reader was wondering the 42" HDTV thing :)

@johnsobas: Wii sales aren't "Way up" from last year like you imply. According to VGChartz, sales since the release of MH3 are 336k for this year, while they were 331k for the same period last year. That's flat, not way up.

Plus I would be a bit worried because this year the Wii got MH3, WSR, Wii Fit+, Price cut, Black Console, Classic Controller Pro and MH3 Bundles in the period you gave. Last year it had nothing comparable yet it sold about the same.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Sry but the 360 sells like an artificial appendix in japan...seems japanese ppl don't trust MS anymore..no wonder after "Xbox only TOV and SO4"



trestres always gives a very balanced point of view!

Well if you really are a Sith Lord, you should be able to do that before breakfast.



This gen has ignored Japan and Japanese games on console in search of makin a name a name in the west, every 1st party game from SONY is a western focused other then WKC which obviously by the rerelease sales suck( dont bring the original WKC sales in it was a New IP from a respected developer they didnt know wat to expect) it seems the Japanese if focusing primarily on west and just leaving Japan behing...next year seems better in Japanese goodness



Lol every year people freak out about japanese sales during September- mid November period. Just wait a bit, patience
