One good thing is that Xenoblade (Monado) is still on the US release list.

And DKC still returns this Winter in Japan with no date. :(



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

That is good news, but... so is Line Attack Heroes. Isn't it being converted to a WiiWare game?

And where's The Last Story for the west?

Interesting stat from that article is that 40% of Japanese Wii's are online.  That means Wii likely has the largest online base among the 3 home consoles this gen.

I think the key part in the article is that Nintendo lost money during the last 6 months, for the first time in 7 years....

Q2 2009: ¥27,176m profit

(Q1 2010: ¥25,216m loss)

Q2 2010: ¥23,205m profit

They are doing just fine financially. They made pretty big loss during Q1 because they put all exchange losses of 2010 fiscal yeat at Q1. Otherwise it would have been also profitable quarter.

Who wants to know that? -_-
