Decimate is a cool word.
Also, LOL PSPGo
PSP Go’s design sucks… just like the Xperia phone.
haha yea, decimate is the right word for what is happening it. i predicted this thing to be huge, im glad to see I was right :P
Now it will decimate competition all around the world. GO 3DS!!!
I’m surprised over the low nos of units sold, compare to the 3DS. Besides, the 3DS has good game titles… and 3D display… and it’s cheaper and more mobile than home console. Just interested to see how it compares to PAL and NTSC areas, though.
Sweet! Nice job Nintendo!!! I can’t wait for the 3DS to come out in U.S. I’m buying it right away!!!
“Shall We Decimate Them? That sounds good, nice word,decimate… And so it came to pass that the Sony Corporation fell, and the console war was no more. And I looked down upon my new dominion as the best selling console of all; and I thought it good…” – Satoru Iwata

I’ll never understand Japan’s fascination with the PSP.
It’s called Monster Hunter.
Should that ever come to the 3DS… oh boy.
Yeah they say 1 in 5 people in Japan who have a PSP have one of the Monster Hunter titles.
Monster Hunter Tri which was the first monster Hunter title for worldwide wii got 40/40 from Famitsu and was pretty much the best game i’ve ever played on the wii.
Such a game for 3DS would be like OMG!!!! OMG!!!!!!!! Monster Hunter 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!
But, a previous post says Nintendo sold 400,000 units on launch day.
DAMN!!!!!!! Thats alot in one week. Cant wait for it to come out here
so much for Nintendo being doomed eh? :P
Wow Nintendo is Killing it! I can just imagine the sales here in the US.
