    1. I hear your Xbot camp is under sige by our Nintendo Drones, hurry up, you might get there quickly only to fail even more…

    2. Says the guy who’s nuts over the all so called popular PSVita..oh sorry. Too soon? X3 You can only pathetically wish for a popular console/company to die so you can stick with a console/company ripping off from something/someone who’s earned the recognition and then fail miserably due to lack of creativity.

      Get back in your closet fangirl. XP

    1. the 3ds was terrible for about the first year, but then released some great games, hopefully the Wii U will do the same

  1. I’ll give it a year for Wii U games to hit their stride.

    But for now, the 3DS is on fire.

    NINTENDOOOOOOOOMMMMEEEEDDDD

    1. 3ds is Nintendo just like the wii u , so no Nintendoooooooommmmmeeeeed
      Anyway I feel some sarcasm in your comment so I wont judge …… Yet .

      1. did you hear that nintendo is starting to make vacuums again???? remember when nintendo made vacuum cleaners???? apparently there is talks that they might start making them again.

  2. *Sees MGR:R on there*
    Yes! A sequel can happen! :D

    Anyways the 3DS is destroying it which means more support for it! Aw yeah! The WiiU is following the 3DS footstep and have a weak 1st year but no worries, if the 3DS has shown us something it’s to shut up and give a console a year.

  3. 3ds: well im going out to play with the humans, want to come wii u???? wii u: nooo i have a house to clean!!!!! as long im here their will be no dust!!!! lets pray… #inwiiuwedust

    1. remember me… ahh ha hahahah ha ha…. im hungary and your soul is looking mighty tasty. maybe ill just eat your soul in a stew instead to make your suffering even worse!!!!!

      1. Pi Pikachu Pika Pika Pi ⚡
        (Oh yeah I remember you and I remember saying that I was going to destroy you ⚡ )

                      1. Pikachu Pi Pika Pika Pi ⚡
                        ( ^-^ Thanks, you’re right. I will take him down ⚡ )

      2. Indeed, and when your mch anticipated games Pokemon X/Y arrives, we shall reach total Nintendomination globally…
        (Pika Pi Chu Pika Pika Pikachu Pi…)

      1. These rankings are based for about a 6 months period…

        Pikmin 3 has barely been out for 2 weeks, no way it would be on that list right now…

        Maybe the next list…

          1. well the wii u is the highest selling cleaning machine….. and its sales in dust are just unbeatable!!!! *wii u commercial* got dust?? wii gotsomethingfor u, introducing the brand new wiidustforu!!!!! you sick of dust *lady coughing* “so much dust” (lady coughs again and waves hand in front of face with stupid grin to try to get the dust out of the way). well this lady sure is, we GUARANTEE A DUST FREE HOUSE!!!! all you have to do is pay is a flipping amazing price of only $350 *lady talking* “after i bought the wiidustforu i just dont have any dust in my house its incredible”*shows before and after*. you want these amazing results then you better buy a wiidustforu!!!!! *in small print and super fast talking* “can also play games”

            1. Dude…just because there are no new games out doesn’t mean you can troll around. Hell, I go to monster hunter when I’m not on the web, Street Fighter x Tekken, Gears of War 3 (at times) or Luigi U even. See what I mean, or is it that you got no new games to play on multi systems? What’s the story? Come on, talk to me about your issues, doctor Snowman is listening.

                1. Because this snowman is tough. >:p I do have a saying when playing SFxT. “Can you melt the Snowman”

                  “I guess you can” beat me in the matches.

                  “I guess not” if you didn’t win against me.

                  Fire has no effect.

      1. Indeed, as soon as High Command initiates Pikmin 3 in NA, the Wii U shall begin operation N.O.M.E.R.C.Y…

        I just saw a commercial about a swedish galleria, they showed the logos for Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft…

        They intend to start a battle down there it seems…

        I might go and check it out someday…

    2. Dragon quest VII: Fighters of Eden !???????? Its Dragon Quest VII: Warriors of Eden. Warriors not Fighters.

    3. Nintendo! Look at all the trolls trying to spin a truth. Nintendo is taking over again. WiiU has already started gaining momentum. It is lastweeks number one home console in Japan. Smiles Gamers smiles :).

      1. Our Empire will always be rirst in Japan and shall remain so until my superiors destroy it…

        Animal Crossing like Pokemon are forces to be reckoned with in all regions…

        I can’t wait to see the statistics for Pokemon X/Y…

        We hae about 45 million 3DS out there…

        Probably half of these will buy Pokemon X/Y…

      2. Wii U has not gained momentum. After it going to 22K. It went down to 14K. It’s still struggling period.

        You and Nintendo Commander need a fucking reality check. Nintendrone fuckheads.

          1. Yeah, third party games can sell really well on Nintendo systems, but it’s usually the games published by Nintendo that get the bulk of the sales.

    4. Where is the last of us? Wasn’t saying it was doing better than pikmin? Even though the ps3 has a bigger installed base?

      1. Naughty dog is so overrated nowadays, damn if i wanna watch Indiana Jones movie i watch the real thing and not an interactivemovie clone (uncharted). Last of Us was just reskin of that movie and knack looks to play like dreamcast platformer, which may not be bad thing considering that they still use that Snes clone controller from 90s which reminds me that if i wanna play with Snes i do it with real thing and not with clone.

        1. Exactly what I say time and time again…

          And I agree about Knack looking and playing like a game that could have been done 13 years ago…

          I don’t care about extra small details and particles in games as some Sonyans argue on about…

          I want fun, interactive, creative games, not hollywood garbage with americans as heroes in every damn game…

          Why not humans that are not americans or modelled after them and are just humans not belonging to any pathetic country…

                1. I’m against their policies, goverments, some companies like Microsoft and their world police agenda that includes their own people…

                  Republicans are the worst…

                  Except the world police part which they are pretty much alone as the worst of all, I am against all countries that promotes these things aswell…

                  However it doesn’t mean I’m against americans as a whole entirely or any other nationality…

                  Otherwise I wouldn’t be watching american movies and so on…

            1. No, I wrote it the way I meant to write it.

              Like, “the force is strong with this one.” I was going to say, “the fanboy-force” but instead just left it as “fanboy.”
