Capcom and Nintendo must be really happy with the results.

Yet another delayed game? This is not good.

Seriously, can't these guys make up their minds already? Zelda is a series whose entires I have always enjoyed unreservedly. I haven't played any truly BAD entries at all. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was the only one that felt like an odd duck, but I still enjoyed that.

That's quite all right. I'm glad you understand. Yes, I CAN be a little guilty of sometimes falling into that trap, but don't worry about me, I'm a VERY nice guy and I hate looking down on others or making fun of people. Just because I express concerns every now and then doesn't mean I don't enjoy playing video games. Hey, sometimes I even join in campaigns to help games! But I'm still a gamer through to the end. Still, no hard feelings. I accept your apology. :)

I know, I know, the war over that CAN get pretty tiresome, especially when fanboys use it to put down others. I too find it annoying. But in all fairness, I wasn't worrying about the sales. You want an example of me worrying about sales? You should have seen my posts from last summer! That time I was on the verge of a breakdown! Luckily I'm not anymore and I HAVE been avoiding sales threads. But this little thing is not an indication of me going back down that trend. I learned my lesson and I'm not making the same mistake twice.

I'm neither worrying about nor obsessing over sales, just stating my opinions. That's all, so there's no need for you to be concerned. I'm not trying to start trouble and I don't want you to worry about me. I made the mistake of going down that path last year and I'm not doing it again. I suppose some of you might be a little on the edge because of the incident we had with that "gaming fan" or whatever he was. Don't worry, I'm not like that guy at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with me expressing some wish for things to get better as long as I don't freak out about it all the time, but the last thing I wanna do is come across like a total jerk about it. THAT is childish, I agree.

**Sigh** If only. I'm tired of seeing Nintendo consoles miss out on title after title. They don't deserve it. WiiU could have been the console to reverse the trend -- SHOULD have been the console to reverse the trend. If things hadn't go so badly its first year, who knows what could have been? Although on the flip side, there haven't been much in the way of JRPGs on consoles this gen either. Who would have thought that last gen would cripple a lot of these companies in Japan to make them cautious about going on consoles?

Hard to say with the X bundle. Depends on how much Nintendo sees that there's demand for it. Either way, awesome move for them to make it for Japan. It should guarantee success and thirds to port JRPGs to WiiU… hopefully.

Well why shouldn't it? ZELDA IS a big franchise here in America, and lots of people wanted a Majora's Mask remake for 3DS after Ocarina of Time. Makes sense to me. But I'm glad Monster Hunter Ultimate 4 did well, too.

I agree with this. I too believe XBCX will be a great asset for WiiU in Japan. Hey, MARIO PARTY 10 just launched this week in Japan, didn't it? And it comes later this month. It'll be interesting to see what it does for WiiU in all territories.

94k-98k, eh? Still not great numbers, but on the other hand, if they ARE indeed up from last year, that's good to know. Any improvement, big or small, is always welcome. How much DID WiiU clear last February, BTW?

As usual, Sony is full of it. And people wonder why I don't do Sony consoles unless at a friend's house!

So far, pretty good results for WiiU. It's not great, but any improvement is welcome.

That and its position on the sales charts will mean nothing if many disappointed customers end up selling their copies used. Seriously, for a console that promised that "greatness awaits", it certainly has not delivered thus far. The "success" stories of its games are merely a facade of its real lack of achievements, as far as I'm concerned. This console war is shaping up to be more of a "dick measuring" contest, so to speak, excuse my crude language.

Oh dear. That DOES sound awful. And I thought the PSN hack fund was bad. Sounds like I now have an even better reason to avoid getting a PS4.
