3DS games really have those legs.

No Vita for the first time in a while. Le cry.

Wasn't Shining Ark pretty high up in the weekly ranking last week, too? Yet it wasn't even in the top 50 according to Dengeki.

The slump this week is going to be depressing.

Can anybody explain why the preorder charts always look like Japan is Sony dominated and why actual sales charts look very different? Is there no pre order mentality for Nintendo games because no fear of stock shortage? Because no pre order incentives (for the most part)? What is it?

Think about in terms of the type of gamers and games that people preorder. There's very little reason to preorder most games and those that you do, you do so for bonuses, stock guarantee, or you believe it's going to be only be in small quantities (going with stock guarantee).

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Apparently they have it on sale. ￥1980, super cheap.

And this is why any single chain provides skewed data!
