I hope so, I´m on chapter 7 and so far loving it.

Shinji Mikami has yet to disappoint me

It'll be backo normal next week.

Dont be a party pooper :-/  

Edit: And it wont go back Normal as 3ds will now have a higher WW weekly baseline thankz to good ol Japan!

I initially thought the very very high Japanese sales were due to Smash Bros also :P I don't think Smash Bros will elevate Wii U sales to 300,000+ for that week when it comes out though :P

Nope.. MS have promised that support will continue for X360 until 2016 as have the likes of EA etc.  Also MS have only just released a new  500 GB COD themed 360 console.  So I would not be putting it in the same category as Wii.  If anything there will be a further price cut for the 360.  MS still seem intent on milking it this time round.

They also said Xone would never be set apart of kinect because "it was build around it".

They said Dead rising and Ryse would never come to PC.

Truth is Xbox doesn't have the global appeal playstation or even nintendo brand have.With 360 selling that low in USA,even with price cut they will not have a PS2 kind of legs.Plus people are jumping on next gen pretty quickly this time(at least on first world countries) so there is no much space for old gen machine on countries like USA UK and japan.

Sorry Double post.

Yes but the latest SKU release stands in the way of your prediction that this will happen any time soon and I would expect that a budget minded holiday bundle with a price cut might actually be a bit of a sales driver for those who cannot afford new gen hardware. Also I don’t think they will just abandon millions of last gen owners overnight. Remember total WW install base numbers for PS3 and X360 are virtually tied. The 10 or so thousand ps3 sell more each week these days of isn’t going to make the huge difference to the total install base either. There are just way to many lest gen console holders still hanging out – especially were xbox is concerned. And I am pretty sure that X360 still sells a lot more software than ps3 each week (Mainly UK and U.S). Wii on the other hand is a different story in that the software sales have well and truly tapered off. I isn’t just about hardware. Software sales are still driving support.

Oh and also with Wii selling at 7k and the 360 selling at aprox 30k (23 k more) this week - you still put the 360 in the same category as the wii for ending support for these consoles?? you have to admit the wii is well and truly behind the 360 in terms of currency and relevance.    

I think it will have a small, almost insignificant effect on the sales of Driveclub. Why believe a review when you can check it out for yourself once the PS+ version releases? And if the Gaf thread is anything to go by, there will be even more gamers wondering what the hell the reviewers were on about.

So, the N3DS will be able to stop the YoY decline in sales in Japan?
