get the 3ds now so we can be friend dude! after all the wii u is gonna take a while to launch!! by then im sure you’ll have the money!
Usually.
Make that Money!!
HAHAHAHAHA , the japanese KNOW!!!!! THE JAPANESE KNOW !!!!!!.
the UK and USA charts are disgusting .
spors games , shooters , lego trash and other horrible games .
Nintendo are just the world’s greatest Developer , publisher and Hardware makers .
yes the 3ds is better than the vita .
but it doesnt have as good graphics you say ????
well this means developers can make TONS of awesome games for 3ds , whilst nobody can be bothered making psvita games because they dont want to put effort into an unpopular console .
the vita is dead . with no big games coming in japan it will never catch up .
and from what i have seen , COD vita and AC3 look like little watered down spinn offs.
R.I.P vita , you have almost replaced the dreamcast .
and thedreamcast was actualy awesome .
cant tell if your joking or not. If your not, then yeah. NINTENDO IS AWESOME!
What kind of guy doesn’t like sports games.
well i dont like those madden/fifa games. I play mario tennis open though and it was fun. It must be cuz i like tennis more than football/soccer
dude so do I !!! i think you are a cool dude lest exchange 3DS friend codes!!!!
I meant nintendward or whatever his name is haha. But I like Mario Tennis too
i love fifa and pes !!!!! but for them to dominate the sales is lame.
they are hardly the height of video gaming .
I hate sport games. Just no fun to me. The only sport game I liked so far was Mario hoops 3 on 3.
i like wii sport and wii sports restored.
3ds: 10 psvita : 1 .
there is burning something , then there is this ^
I still remember the 26:1 week.
lol i remember that, but now nintendo has gain the top 10 sales this week.
There’s no direct link, but check out about the 9th post.

That was hilarious, also the graph in the first post has made me give up hope for the Vita. I’m sorry, but the Vita is simply a portable Dreamcast in terms of sales. It is a good console, but it is just ahead of it’s time. Anyone who tries to defend its horrid sales is simply insane in my books.
Anyone who speaks this tired tune is simply a fanboy in my books.
Surprise, it happens to be exactly that.
So ur not a fanboy right? Vita isn’t looking good fanboy or not facts are facts. Seems to me u can’t handle the fact that the Vita is failing or any negative news on Sony/Micro, but live to see negative news about Nintendo systems. If that isn’t “double fail” I don’t know what is. Why cause u son are a fanboy. Number don’t lie and to be doing worse then the Dreamcast…WOW..just Wow…I like Sony, but the Vita was just stupid and foolish on their part, they should have learned from PSP vs DS sells and the 3DS launch
The Dreamcast and Vita sales have met up. Don’t try and say that the Dreamcast’s sales were acceptable.
sorry fanboy but the vita is in big trouble fact.
*sigh* It’s extremists like you who give Nintendo fans a bad name.
Like I once said, I only respect those that are civil in discussion. I forgot to add that bashing a group to make your favorite group look higher is rather immature.
does the 3ds list include the 3ds xl
yes . they are the same system .
like ps3 and ps3 slim for example . same thing . same graphics , same games , different shape. that is all .
HAHA WII MADE MORE THAN VITA!
It was doing pretty bad for a while until new popular games come out recently. Good/popular games drive system sales.
DQ X, Kirby, and a few others gave it a nice boost.
came*
^oooh yes I did ;) lol
Nintendo games sell well in japan coz kids
Over there are childish and parents buy them a Mario game for them to shut the fuck up while all the GAMERS play Ps3 or Xbox ;) japanese people have a bad taste in games ..Japanese devs suck ! Western devs FTW ;)
ness get out of a NINTENDO sight because if u hate NINTENDO y the fuck are u here u must seriously like NINTENDO if u are here
that’s why its a troll. It just does this to annoy people by bashing Ninten. Its gettin its laugh off of pissing Ninten fans off, or them responding to it in a critical manner.
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO REALIZES THIS.
“coz kids Over there are childish”. Who ever thought in our wildest imagination that a kid is a child. Mind officially blown.
MINDFUCK!
Hahaha….this was completely funny as fuck! A kid is a child! Fuckin’ Duh! Like they say in Spanish “idiota”!….
Hm… all the gamers play PS3 and Xbox games? I don’t see why not. There are plenty of good games out there. But to say Japanese devs suck, Japanese gamers have a bad taste in games… Maybe you don’t know, but Sony is Japanese as well, and it’s devs are Japanese devs! And to say they suck, well, I have to disagree on that. Let’s compare something that I’ve seen over and over on the internet: Zelda x Call of Duty discussions!
The first is one of the most classical games, being a reference to the gamer culture. While it is based on the simple, yet charismatic story of the knight saving the princess, every game has it’s own personality, and they’re all full of puzzles and plot twists that make a real good story even better; no matter how old you are, you will always appreciate the plot! And the gameplay differs from console to console, making every platform have it’s own personal touch over the franchise.
Now, Call of Duty consists of wars, where the plot is basically an excuse to shoot everything that moves on the screen. The gameplay is the same for every game, with difference over the weapons available. The multilayer consists on 10-13 years old boys yelling about sleeping with your mother every minute of the game.
The first one is made by Japanese developers, and the second one is made by western developers.
Well, I know you’re nothing more than a troll, but I just had to say it.
japanese developers are a LOT better than western devs .
people bone of western devs cus they all use the ‘la la’ Engine 2 or what ever . metal gear , zelda , mario , street fighter , monster hunter , pokemon , final fantasy , tales , kingdom hearts etc etc etc /
IMO japanese devs have a great imagination . western devs just copy each other to the bone .
lolno. Japanese developers aren’t even good at developing impressive engines for their own. That’s because they pretty much don’t know how to. For the ones that do, they already know the western audience. See: Square Enix.
What the hell does a engine have to do with gameplay? Nothing, that’s what. Yet again you have exposed yourself as somebody who cares more about graphics than about the important thing: Gameplay.
An engine will have a lot to do with how a game plays, actually. If the engine is bad, you’re likely going to have bad gameplay in return.
Of course, an idiotic Nintendrone like yourself wouldn’t have figured that out. =P
Also, once again, a Game Engine isn’t graphics alone. So yeah, you’re still an idiot.
You got to be 8 or 9 years old…..probable still on baby milk formula, tell you mother to get u ur baby bottle so u can claim down, time to take a nap
Racist scum.
Meh. At least their minds aren’t total gravity wells.
you wouldn’t believe how much more adults in japan embrace their child-like hobbies and imagination compared to the rest of the world.
Gamers play PS3 or Xbox? PS3 I could understand but Microsoft is dead in Japan. Nintendo sells well because they are like freaking gods to the japanese. I admit I like there products but sony has taken my fancy of late.
Sony is japanese too you dumbfuck.
Why is wii sports resort there?
I mean, isn’t this a really old game?
Read my comment bellow yours. That’s my guess.
” I guess the Japanese gamers who didn’t have a remote plus control want to get at least one for the Wii U. ^^”
this man is clever!!! ^ him
Thanks for the compliment! ^^
HAHAHA! Brace yourselves! Here come the butthurt trolls!
My surprise was from the 7th position: Wii Sports Resort with the Wii Remote Plus. I guess the Japanese gamers who didn’t have a remote plus control want to get at least one for the Wii U. ^^
this is very true sir !!!!! they are being wise !!! they probably owned and sold wii sport resort. but they get this cheap deal cus they know it is good for their wiiu . well done
its possible.
Good news! Then the next post will be some analyst saying,’Nintendo will DIIIIIIIIIE!!’ More opinions not based on reality.
…Ok, maybe not the NEXT post, but… its comin’!

aww it sucks that you can’t upload a picture… This website needs disqus.
i love that picture . it still prints money !!!!
Screw the picture, that filepath was enough to make me laugh! :P
yay
Seems like Nintendo is doing very good again. At least in Japan!
Japan’s taste in games is slowly hitting the shitter. Especially if NSMB2 is at the top.
I imagine an extreme focus on graphics instead of anything else is what’s causing many western games to be pigeon-holed into first person shooters.
Cool story, bro.
What does this have to do with anything?
Retaliation into ‘tastes’.
Normally i’d disagree, but I have to say that NSMB2 was a disappointment. it’s fun.. but there’s nothing ‘new’ about it. Same EXACT graphics. same EXACT music, and hardly any challenge to the game. I 100% on release and don’t feel motivated enough to collect 1,000,000 coins to be fair..
Seriously, there is no defense for that title. I feel sorry for the hundreds of thousands who actually bought it. It’s basically just an expansion pack with better framerate.
So, expansion packs are suddenly bad? What for them people who maybe don’t have a NSMB game yet? Or those that want one updated for a new system? What for them people who wanted more New Super Mario Bros?
you do realize that the 3ds=/= to wii and gamecube, that’s why it looks like the wii.
Sony is selling more PSP’s than PSVita Systems….
Sony, FAIL
(Vita Owner)
You act like that’s the first time that’s happened. The PS3 was being outsold by the PS2 for quite a long while in its launch year.
But what do Nintendo fans know
It’s a flop! Face it Aeolus! Now go finger fuck yourself
Good games when they see them
NSMB2 isn’t a good game.
By your standards alone.
But then again, your standards, and logic, are that everything Mario sucks and that Nintendo as a whole is basically the same simply for owning the franchise.
You don’t own the game and you hate the franchise and the company, so your opinion is too biased and hater-based to give the game a fair chance.
TLDR: The opinion of a hater such as yourself, who has never played the game, doesn’t mean jack shit.
It isn’t a good game, and there are far better platforms that deserve the sales. Of course you’ll try to stand up for Nintendo’s cash grabbing and robbery of idiots like you. You’re a brand loyalist, you don’t care about your intelligence. You’ll swallow anything this company feeds you. That’s why Nintendo fans are made fun of virtually everywhere. They’re gaming’s dimwits.
This coming from the idiot that vouches for the Vitanic.
It gets sales because it IS a good game, and I fucking ENJOY IT.
ENJOYING A GAME DOES NOT MAKE YOU A BRAND LOYALIST, YOU MIND-NUMBINGLY RETARDED FUCK WAD.
You’re a vocal minority from a user base built by haters, for haters, and therefore shouldn’t be opening your mouth regarding quality of this game.
Again; your opinion doesn’t fucking matter on this issue, to anyone but yourself, so KEEP it to yourself.
Also, since you’re obviously too moronic to see the differences between a game in 2006 and a game in 2012 simply because they are from the same series, you would be better off refraining.
You’re so sickeningly stupid that you’re not even worth a further reply than this, so have fun responding to thin air. I’m not spending time better spent on gaming on your worthless, elitist, noobish, zit-covered troll ass.
Oh, I didn’t know Nintendo were holding me at gunpoint to buy their games! Better go out and buy them!
im a brand loyalist, but i dont buy every nintendo game. just the ones that interest me. in this case nsmb2. which is actually a good game. and is more than a rehash. in my opinion.
Oh by the way, I do own the game. Since 2006 for that matter.
If you want people to take you seriously, then don’t sound like a crying child.
Isn’t that basically what you’re always doing?
To put it simply, he’s just giving you advice. You’re not listening to him and replying with a flawed argument.
i own nsmb2 and dont think its a good game either its just a bunch of old ideas shoved in new packaging i love nintendo but feel lately they have lost a bit of the originality they are famous for they need to get rare back
It may be a rehash, but it’s still a good game.
It is not, by any means. Replace Mario and familiar everything with some random new character, and I’ll guarantee you the ratings would have been considerably lower.
Nintendo knows that Mario sells. I will tell you this, Nintendo made NSMB2 to boost the 3DS XL sales. Why else is this game is so similar.
That’s why they keep making a low budget rehash, if it sells, exploit the ever loving shit out of it for pure greed, not for an experience for the player.
Every company does it some way, but very few as blatant as Activision, Nintendo, Capcom, I can go on and on.
The difference is Nintendo puts “new” in the title, I fucking lol’d.
Ironicly SM3DL didn’t have “New” in it’s tittle yet its completly new and NSMB2 is… you know. In conclusion I’m getting bored of the new super mario bros series, 3D mario games is were it’s at.
Super Mario 3D land is “completely new”? No it isn’t and you know it. The game looks and feels like NSMB with a 3D camera perspective added, Lower poly galaxy models and nearly all of the in-game tracks for it are remixes from that game or some other one. Even the power ups are.
There is hardly anything “new” about 3D Land at all.
I have NSMB2. I was very skeptical at first of it’s quality and how much like the original it would be like. I downloaded it though, and I’m not going to lie, I like it better so far than the first one.
But hey, what do I know right? >_>
The PS3 was never doing so badly as to rival the Dreamcast in such a low amount of sales. Plus, the PS2 was the most popular console in the world, and there were still plenty of games being made for it. The PSP, even though it has done well, was never as popular and there are less and less games being made for it now. The Vita is completely on course to be a second Dreamcast. Statistics prove it.
http://au.gamespot.com/forums/topic/29264852/confirmed-ps-vita-has-sold-2.2-million-units-worldwide?page=7
Statistics don’t -prove shit- until support for the handheld’s life is over. Sing a new tune and stop being a Nintendrone.
And until that happens. You have absolutely no case, argument, or anything to say on the subject when you don’t even own one.
Bippity Boppity Boop!!! “Statistic dont prove shit”… I stopped there. Aeolus, how do statistics not prove things? Thats what they are made to do. The life of the Vita may not “technically” be over, but people can do the math and make really good educated guesses. There were people out there who calculated the World Wide recession!! I think they will be able to calculate sales for somthing like the Vita! Bing Bang Bop!!!
Statistics are not going to dictate what “fate” the Vita will have, no matter what argument you put forth. It doesn’t even take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
Statistics will be proven if the course is followed, in it’s current state Sony has not announced a single title that has fans or new comers in a buzz, even the titles that have been shown that have gathered interest have not shown enough potential for growth.
Statistics change with every move, but they are always proven when current figures play out, that is Sony’s warning to find a winning project to alter their handhelds “fate”.
This by no stretch of the imagination means Sony will shut down support for the Vita, the Vita has followed a path traveled by the PSP before and all turned out just fine, not good, but just fine.
Sony has announced PLENTY of support for the Vita, I’m not sure where the hell you’ve been the other week. How the fuck do you know what titles haven’t generated buzz? Killzone Mercenary, ACIII:L, Ratchet and Clank: FFF, Sly 4, I can continue, but I want to see how long you’ve been living under a rock.
R&C: FFF is a port.
Plenty and quality are two completely different things. Sony’s offerings so far have been lackluster and aren’t selling the handheld, it shows. Announcing watered down console ports and spin offs won’t save the Vita.
Killzone and ACIII:L are popular series that much is true, but the two alone are hardly going to drive sales for the handheld. Ratchet and Clank and Sly 4 on the other hand aren’t worth mentioning, the market for these titles have already made up their minds on the Vita and a game they can get on a console which will deliver a far superior experience isn’t a system seller.
Now with that said there is no doubt these games will boost Vita sales, but they don’t have a chance of reversing the overall downward spiral of the handheld. The Market is still on the fence for the Vita, $250 is a lot to pay for a handheld system that has expensive accessories and a lack luster library, there are great games on the Vita but hardly anything to bring in new customers.
I stopped reading at “lackluster”, sorry.
And, thus, made a total idiot of yourself. Try not proclaim you have a short attention span next time.
I’m sorry your so wrapped up in your own opinion that you can’t logically think about the situation and discuss the correction of it’s course, there’s more than simply praising a company for what it does best and than turning a blind eye to anyone who disagrees with you.
Otherwise, I’m glad we had a chance to talk, though I’m genuinely torn that we couldn’t finish on a proper note and throw aside the fanboyism.
Just like you don’t own NSMB2.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Yeah, that’s something that’s supposed to NOT happen.
But any Sony loyalist (using your terminology of course) would conveniently ignore this to grant Sony any excuse to be a loser.
The PS2 sold more because it was a better deal than whatever the crap the PS3 was giving back then. It’s not like a natural law like you’ve trying to claim it is.
Holy fuck nintendomination on a whole new fucking level O_O. Excuse the language but I see it and still don’t believe it. And fuck vita atleast beat the psp.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah buddy.
This more, than any other week is truly Nintendomination. And it’s only gonna get better when Wii U is launched.
Forgot leave luck to heaven
yeah he must it forgot

playing=believing
I can understand how 360 is at the bottom, since not only is it western originated but it’s also littered with sports games and CoD. Now I thought that sony would have a place at least somewhere in the top ten’s list, but damn. Ninten is owning this like Hulk owned Loki
I laughed my ass off at the 17 second mark.XD
Im kinda suprise that Monster Hunter Tri G or Portable 3rd is not in the top 10…
Even though Tri G is cause of high 3ds sales.
Hmm the moar you know \O _o/
Portable 3rd is for PSP and has been out for a while now.
It was when the game was released nearly a year ago. Now? Not so much.
that’s pretty crazy :O
goes to show how popular nintendo really is among the japanese fellows
sure .. they make quality games, but that fact alone can’t explain this kind of market domination, because so does SCE
111,000 3DS..Jeeeesus….
and thats just JP, i wonder what the other regions are.
978 xbox really hahahahaha. Even the PS2 beat the dung box lmao.
this is talking japan
japan is sony- and nintendoland (pun intended)
the xbox never sold very well in japan
and it never will
—–
Get N or get out!
Damn!!!!! Nintendo of Japan means business!!!!!
Vita sold less than 2.3M units worldwide after 9 months of being released is very pathetic. It is a disaster and a distraction for Sony which will haunt them this coming console war. The X720/Durango is gonna murder the PS4 this upcoming generation. Nintendo was smart to release it’s system first thus avoiding being a launch competitor to the other two. They also have the dedicated handheld gaming market in the bag outselling the competition this generation by an average 7:1 monthly, and lifetime sold 10:1; despite only an 8 month gap between the 3DS and Vita release.
“They see me trolling.”
not trolling if it’s the truth.
It’s not trolling if it IS the TRUTH. Sorry that you are butt-hurt but fact is fact.
There are facts and there is trolling. No need for explanation – You, were trolling.
sorry G, but you’re just butt-hurt that’s the fact. ’nuff said this conversation is over. lol
“Butt-hurt, butt-hurt”
Is that all you have to say about me? Care to elaborate why I would be, as you put it, “butt-hurt” over your bringing up a completely irrelevant topic and proceeding to conjure up some forecasts about consoles that have not even been released yet? Troll?
what he said about the vita was pretty much all fact
You can use facts and still be trolling. Trolling doesn’t always mean incorrect.
110,000 3DS’! That is amazing!
Indeed. New games and the 3DS XL seem to be really selling like hotcakes. I think I might upgrade to the XL soon if there’s a circle pad pro for it.
