I have 30 and own a Wii and DS, ¿I don´t exist?

I mean, if you want too create a userbase, must release games for them, you can´t keep waiting they appear by spontaneous generation.

Why are we discussing the legs of this game? Even PSP games have tremendous legs compared to PS3 / Xbox 360 games... now if someone could list me a successful DS game that didn't have legs I'd feel honored

Dragon Quest games are probably the most front-loaded...Pokemon has powerful first week sales but it also has legs so it doesn't work.

I didn't realize first weeks sales were all that mattered in a game's release.

Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. " thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."
