I don't know what that game at no.10 is, but 12.000 yen for a PSP game is insaaaaane.

"The limited edition includes a set of 10 pictures, download content codes, a special box, and ten "making" DVDs: four for AKB48 totaling 400 minutes of footage, three for SKE48 totaling 300 minutes, two for NMB48 totaling 200 minutes and one for HKT48 totaling 100 minutes."

10 DVDs of teenage japanese girls in bikinis! They could charge a kidney and it would still sell well in japan.

Oh, I see. It's a must-buy now! As long as the girls are under 18, of course.

Edit: the other day in Shinjuku there was a group of Otakus taking pictures of the AKB48 poster without shame and whith weird grins on their faces. Damn, I'm loving Japan.

haha, I almost fell from my chair!!!

Of course they are :)

PS: You can't watch this video anywhere outside japan or the Pedo-police will get you.

Well apparently I'm in the minority. I just figured the PS3 had a real shot at a stellar last full year in Japan and it would be all thanks to the holiday release schedule for the Japanese.

I have a feeling the Wii U won't dominate the PS3 and the PS3 will have a very strong year.

Well, let's put it this way, a 3DS is 15000 yen.

BTW, that's the discounted price. The game actually costs ¥14,679 =

187.083 dollars

WOW @ MIKU AND VITA THIS WEEK!

Miku: 159k
Vita: 50k

My bet was:
Miku: 120k
Vita: 40k

That's not what you said before. You said PS3 would dominate even against 3DS. PS3 might do well comparing to last year's numbers or even Wii U but its number would pale comparing to 3DS numbers in Japan. And that's for both software and hardware.
