Before people start saying "PS3 is better, blah blah blah", Nintendo may have less impressive graphics and software, but the games are much more fun and the gameplay is WAY better. PS3 is quite boring to me, same with Xbox.

When will the vita surpass the gameboy?

I don't understand how its so popular over there. Is it coming for DS wig? I think ninty needs to try and work on the western market more. Instead of focusing so hard on Japan.

This. While Stony and Microsoft keep upgrading their graphic cards, Nintendo comes out with revolutionary consoles and handhelds (two screens, motion gameplay, 3D etc.)

The Wii is about to touch the 100m in sales and the DS is about to become the highest selling console ever. The 3DS has surpassed the 20m sales and will probably be around the 30m at the end of the year.

I think they're doing just fine

I'm inclined to agree yet disagree at the same time. I have bunches of fun when I first get the game but in a matter of what, 3-4 weeks I barely touch the game. With my PS3 (and to a degree my PS2), I have games I'm still playing to this day.) The only exception to this was Super Mario Galaxy and SSBB. I loved those games.

Anyways, Good job for the 3DS. I heard it has HD sound now? To hear Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater's theme song in HQ anywhere

Well if Lady GaGa has taught us anything it's that gimmicks sell

The games being more fun is subjective, there is plenty of good and fun games on the other platforms.
This is well deserved though since Nintendo is underrated when they have better marketing and is more all age friendly and that is why they stay slaying.

Really? I didn't even know that the 3ds was that popular. I only have encountered like 30 people on that streetpass thing. And I got it on the year of it's release o.O

Bible to a certain degree. Nintendo missed out on a lot of great games during the last few years but it seems like they're trying to get the ball back in their court at least. Maybe Nintendo will get a "Heavy Rain" or "LA Noire" of its own.

Nintendo had its fun, but I would like more LoZ and Metroid style games. Skyward Sword was brilliant...but anything else has yet to come out. Until that happens, I'll just be over here in Tamriel, blowing Forsworn to bits.

Japan has always been here for Nintendo, especially their handheld games.

I've come to really love my 3DS lately.

****ing slay. Japan has the tea on the better console.

What are the worldwide numbers? Japan is clearly biased when it comes to non-Japanese companies

IGN posted that the WW numbers are over 1 million with Japan's launch weekend sales. So count a few 100.000 more since we're half a week further
