Believe me. If Wonderful 101 fails next week, the Playstation Nation will be all over that thread. For now, they've prolly just decided to stick their head under the sand acting like this week never existed:D

If it's true they're only shipping 30,000 for W101 in Japan, there's almost no way it won't fail. It's guaranteed to flop in Europe; they seem to hate Nintendo over there, and being a niche game and a new IP on top of that, it never stood a chance. Mixed reviews were the nail in the coffin.

Hence, next weeks Media Create numbers will have these people flocking to that thread enmass. About Europe: Europe have never seemed to care about Nintendo home consoles(including NES, SNES), with Wii being the only exception. Then again, they allways ate up Nintendo handhelds. Nintendo prolly still find the Euro markets puzzling.

True, W101 really needed stellar reviews, especially since its a new ip. The mixed reviews have prolly done irreperable damage.

Are these posts serious? It's the same 10 or 12 people that always post in every Japanese sales thread each week.

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

lol, i thought the same exact thing! This thread usally has 10+ pages within 5 hours wen it comes out! Nintendomination comes and suddenly the thread is dead! Where are the regular VGC posters at all of a sudden -_-

Umm, since when?  I'm not sure how many posts per page you use, but these threads certainly don't go over 500 posts often, if ever.  Only two threads since May have passed 100 posts, and one was only 105.

This will likely end up being one of the most active threads in months, but I guess you need to keep up the victim narrative.

Just an FYI, it's not very exciting when theres no new releases. Therefore 3DS domination is what we expect since its the top selling system in Japan by a wide margin. If the Wii U or Vita suddenly had 5+ games on the top ten then it would be exciting but when the 3DS does it it's just meh.

I understand and it is impressive but I expected it since with no new releases the games with the best legs would rise to the top and everyone  knows that Nintendo games have sexy, chissled legs lol.
