Gravity Bomba!

I bet they wish they didn't delay it for no fucking reason and just released it at launch like they originally were supposed to.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Yikes! Just saw this on neogaf:

"There are/have been no retail releases for Vita in between LEGO Batman 2 (June 19) and Madden (August 28). Literally none in two months and nine days."

July and August for Vita are going to be harsh.
I have always said... Gravity Rush as a launch title and Uncharted as a savior game in the harsh times.

Why? I read every single comment carefully

I already know what it means because someone told me. You didn't have to make that comment.

US HW	Jan-Jun
2012	6.4m
2011	9.4m
2010	10.1m
2009	11.6m
2008	12.4m
2007	10.5m
2006	7.2m
2005	7.8m
2004	6.5m
2003	7.0m
2002	7.2m
2001	5.1m

US is definitely still driven by hardware sales. The PS2 era January - June peak was completely driven by PS2's best year. The one exception is 2005, which was driven by PSP, DS, and GBA all selling reasonably well in the first half of the year. Then in 2008, Wii and DS were doing enormous numbers. Now that we're in 2012, the hardware market is trending to be about 18-20m for the whole year instead of around 35m.

People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

I'm pretty sure it's up 8%. It's at least in the positive. (Still not as nice of sales like the Japanese have it.)
