My prediction is that Sony will have an abysmal conference, thus bringing things full circle (Sony 2006, Nintendo 2008, Microsoft 2010). I'm not sure any will ever match the majesty of Konami 2010 ever again though.

What's everyone playing these days? I haven't turned on my 360 since October because I've been away at school so I have a monster backlog of games. I'm gonna play through some shorter games (Batman and Revelations) before jumping into Skyrim and Mass Effect 3.

Get a lot of game overs though

Mostly playing Tales of Graces f. SSX Mt. Eddie DLC came out as well so I tried that.
There's also a bunch of handheld games I'm playing through, such as Dragon Quest VI.

Mainly waiting for my spring term to finish so I can start Xenoblade.

Iwata Asks Fatal Frame, top tier

Shibata: Kikuchi gave a lot of detailed instructions about their faces in particular.

Kikuchi: Yes, that’s right. I was especially concerned with getting their lips right.

Shibata: Yes, he really was! For a decade now, Kikuchi has been very particular about the shape of the heroine’s lips. It got to the point where the team would say, “Not the lips again!” (laughs)

Iwata: (laughs)

Kikuchi: Well, I think that while the eyes obviously play a major role in feminine beauty, the mouth is also extremely important.

Iwata: Um, I’m not sure if we’re still discussing the game here… (laughs)

Xenoblade Chronicles was not reported by NPD due to it being a retailer exclusive game, apparently.

Probably would have been on the list if it was.

I have trouble believing that Xenoblade sold more than MLB: The Show or Just Dance 3.

Yay Prototype!

Portables aren't doing so hot in the US. Well, nothing really is, but given that they're new systems they should both be doing better. Need games.

Considering Xenoblade probably only sold around 200,000 copies at the most I highly doubt it would've made the list.

The highest selling game this month only sold 236,000 copies.

Individual SKU or combined?
