Mentioning PSP Go, an experimental revision of the PSP, is funny when it's been dead for years? WiiU is right here, asking to be made fun of, but hitting PSP Go is just insensitive

That's the thing, it wouldn't be funny because it's right here. PSP-Go isn't right here. 

You can't go into a joke by saying stuff that makes sense. You have to go into a joke saying stuff that makes stupid sense. Get it now?

As we say in Iceland: I'm "melting" it (in Icenglish lol)

I don't get it. Are we talking about ice cream or something?

I was hoping the Vita could stabilize at 20k, this is pretty disappointing.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Pretty bad sales all around as expected. However Vita is the only one with an excuse, still it would have dropped a little bit anyways. And thus the same comments.

wow 14k for vita. either its a huge shortage or the lack of upcoming big titles. the second one is probably the main reason.

Did Famitsu mention Vita shortages again this week? I didn't see any mention of it on their page.

Pretty concerning that Wii U is still selling as mediocre as it is in Japan, considering the console is virtually designed for a Japanese audience, and it is home to two monster franchises in 2D Mario and Monster Hunter. Nintendo needs to just tread water in Japan at this point and try and focus more on the West, like they did with the Wii. I just don't see what more Nintendo could do to help sales in Japan, besides a Pokemon RPG or something. Perhaps X will do something. West is the key at this point, as it's where most potential sales will come from anyway, unless you're DS or 3DS.

WiiU =


but with no new games, I think it deserves

Everything better skyrocket for Golden Week.

The Wii U doesn't have much to drive sales. Some people were making a big deal about MH3U and DQ X but they're just ports.

They'll announce some stuff at E3 so we'll see how things go during the second half of the year.

Yeah, I remember when it was announced people declaring WiiU the king and saying it has won Japan already. Guess it was premature.
