It's getting retail download cards. It's all they're launching this month.
It's too late to announce anything else.

GAF average was pretty spot on with SS, Senran did over perform but the numbers are pretty insignificant either way.
Kinda like how G&W did even lower than GAF predictions, but again the numbers are insignificant in the first place.
Vita hardware is the biggest surprise, its holding on much better than most think.

Some people predicted third parties won't be interested in PS4

Perfect.
Except for some surprises (for successfull ones like Luigi's Mansion or incredible bombas like G&W), the software prediction average was quite good.
I'm hyping this week's results. It is finally the "real test" for Vita. I'm expecting something bellow 20k, but hoping for more.
Erm this is a very vague statement and doesnt even make sense when most if not all big budget next-gen games with global appeal will be on PS4.
yes, but he's gone now. to when or where, i don't know. i just know that theorizing that one could travel within his own lifetime, satoru iwata led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as the 'vitality sensor.' pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, iwata prematurely used the vitality sensor and vanished. he awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. fortunately, contact with his own time was made through brainwave transmissions with dean stockwell, the project observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only iwata could see and hear. trapped in the past, iwata finds himself leaping from life to life, putting things right that once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

I don't think anyone said that. Since 360 is irrelevant in Japan, PS4 support is pretty much guaranteed. To what extent is the question often asked.
I think 20k is too much of a drop, 25k seems more likely.
Planning stage means there's still room for cancellations if the system bombs, Level 5 surely had one game or two in the planning stage for Vita.
Sure third parties will support PS4, but it's way too early to say "hurray" for some game in some sort of "planning stage"
The only problem I have with this theory is that Dean Stockwell can't receive brainwaves, he's not human, he is a frakking machine! He doesn't have a brain, just a MCP chip.
Well played, sir. Well played.

NCL doesn't care about NOA. He's just trying to keep his head down and hope they don't notice he's still around.
When Iwata steps down I think it will be his time too.
*prays*
Not a fan of Reggie at all, but why are people eager to seee him go? He's go very little power, if any at all, apart from maybe greenlighting localisation of a few niche games.
Colors, doesn't push for games it seems, last few games seem to have shipping problems, and etc. Reggie going and being replaced with someone that NCL holds in higher regard would be the best thing to happen.

His face is annoying. I blame GAF, not my selfishness.
isn't he literally worse than hitler?
...There have been several mini Directs and the Tomodachi Direct last week.

I want Iwata to stay, but Reggie needs to GO.
He is useless.

To be selected as new CEO
bravo
what did Reggie do?
That's the problem.
lol and what's so funny is that you guys are doing the complaining for the Japanese. just because u don't get what u want right away, doesn't mean Nintendo has nothing planned.
ok let me rephrase that, what do YOU want him to do?
This was one of the most baffling decisions ever. This is pretty much what they did, but delayed it by 9(?) months. Could have done the same thing with The Last Story and Pandora's Tower too... Thank fully XSEED did it.

well might as well post my prediction.
vita 30.000. yes i predict it will hold its ground .
on another note something ive been meaning to ask :
IF the wii u turns up dead and buried , would a single console( PS4) and two handhelds( 3DS + VITA) be a beneficial future for both nintendo and sony and japanese games in general?

It won't be beneficial for Nintendo because they'd lose one major source of revenue. It would be beneficial for Sony because they'd lose their only console competitor in Japan, but the majority of Japanese console third party games will be on PS4 anyway.
For the Japanese gaming industry? Again, most Japanese console third party games will be on PS4, so I imagine the Wii U's loss wouldn't matter much. They're already ignoring it anyway. But third parties have a good base on the 3DS. With the Vita...it's basically littered with niche games, many of the otaku-oriented type. Which is OK I guess, but there aren't many major games for it.

New Wii U eshop release: Othello, from Arc System Works. 500 yen. Release date is April 17. The game will offer off TV play.
So am I the only one immediately reminded of the Wii U E3 reveal video because of this?
Nope. I remember seeing Reversi/Othello in that video.

Famitsu is out, but there's nothing new, it's just talking about MH4, Gundam Breaker, and the new Atelier game.
