      1. what has the vita got to do anything with this….

        no wonder this site attracts trolls. you are seriously asking for it. Aeolus will appear i bet

        1. A post about a game hell no!
          He would never touch this article. When he trolls he gets on Wii U articles and talk about how “its last- gen” and ” PS4 / XBoX 720 are the ‘real next- gen’. “

          1. kinda funny and predictable at the same time. Honestly, anyone who thinks the Wii U is current gen is either an idiot (pardon me) or a troll.

  1. SHAKA WAKA MAKA PAKA

    JAPAN LOVE TO GOBBLE UP REHASHES DONT THEY

    DRAGONQUEST X IS MUCH BETTER. LEAST IT IS SOMETHING DIFFERENT

    MIRA WARAARRAARRARAARRAA

    1. obviously, since GoW had sold well in that region with barely any improvements to the game besides killing a new titan or whatever.

    1. If we follow the mantra of a certain other set of fans, then NSMB2 must have had a further 700K in digital downloads…

      This of course, is completely ludicrous, but we have to follow that logic to be consistent…

      1. lol…it’s the same mantra SDF have been using to bump up Vita sales which is really quite pathetic even when they bump them up!!!

        1. no. you are clearly a fanboy who wishes competiton dead. You can have a ps3 or xbox alongside a nintendo console…facepalm

          1. Oh…I love my X360…and the fact is PSV is already dead or one foot on the grave. I’m just stating facts that PSV is a flop by any definition of a flop. The DC probably did better
            than the PSV at this point.

            1. death already when its not even a year old…

              give it a break jeez. if u hate it so much let it die alone

              fyi i dont like the vita but i dont spout hate. its childish and idiotic. its just a piece of plastic. get over it and set your priorities right

              1. No its a dying system, Sony is in deep shit with this one. They’re selling at a lose and will be for 2 more years! They need to do something!! Seriously its painful to watch it die like it is, slowly.

                1. Sickr should start a thread on what Vita games should come out on the 3DS or Wii U. It would be enlightening to see the responses…not to
                  mention the hits!!! I definitely have LKS 2 and
                  DC on that list.

              2. C’mon if Nintendo was the Celtics then Sony must be the Heat. It’s silly to pretend there is no fun in seeing the competition struggle and lose once in
                a while. If that wasn’t true we wouldn’t have Aeolus
                lol!!!

                1. Fuck the Heat -____- I like sony way more than I like the heat!! Chris Bosh is a dinosaur. I’m still bitter OKC lost ;_; fuckin Westbrook *sobs*

            2. Exactly, the VITA is dead, but tgs should definitely have some interesting game reveals and a price drop wouldn’t hurt. I’m hoping for a price drop in September! *crosses fingers* just cut it $50 sony!

              1. hopefully multi-plat game reveals. I wouldn’t count on a price cut just yet since Sony is obviously in a world of hurt financially!!!

                1. I know!!! They are fucked! I want them to turn it around, but there’s no games in sight! COD? brother has a 360, I’m not watering down my gaming experience. It’s a hard lesson to learn, but Sonys gotta learn it :/.

              1. Word, more like it didn’t really even get born. The first Japaneseconsumerbought a xbox 360, it got the RROD and chucked it into the Pacific to be specific.

          2. Yeah you can but my third 360 broke. Guess I’ll sell all my shit and get an XL to hold me til the Wii U drops.

  2. Comparing this to Pokemon Black 2 and White 2’s launch (which was worse than most Pokemon launches) really shows how much of a powerhouse Pokemon is, even against Nintendo’s most famous series.

    1. But Pokemon was born and raised on handhelds, it’s the leading title when it comes to handheld software and the highest selling handheld franchise, it’s to be expected :P
      I would also say I think Pokemon gets a lot more advertising over there especially with an (active?) cartoon series.

      1. But as I said, Black2/White2 had a disappointing launch over there, not having sold much over 2 million, and most of that was in 2 days. I’m not saying that almost 500,000 copies sold is bad, but that Pokemon just smash out sales.

  3. Almost half a million copies of New Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan? Oh HELL YEAH!!!! By the time the game and Nintendo 3DS XL are released in the good ol’ U S of A, I’m buying ’em!!!!!
