WHAT THE CRAZY F*CK! 10 out of 10. When did Nintendo ever achieve this? they wrote history once again. and with the additional battery duration, this system might see even more popularity in Japan.
You do have to view this in the context of a very weak console market in Japan right now though.
Ew, Konami…
