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.

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

that could put it in the Top 3 for this month >_>

Also, Kojima Productions says they have big plans for E3. Kojima said that Rising would be playable, so that's likely part of it. ZOE HD is likely, too.

Ouch. That is pretty bad

My 7 year old fat DS is still going strong, but if I ever need to replace it, good to know I could do it cheaply!

Maybe we can call it the "gaming news topic" with the [gn]. then we can get rid of the geezer from the title and search for [gn]. long live [gn]

getting rid of transience in the title causes the topic to purge after a week

I'm not overly concerned with bumping this topic. I usually only post here if I find some news that does not necessarily warrant its own topic.

Gamestop stock dropped a bit yesterday - they mitigated much of their losses with their usual ways of getting revenue, but it's still not a great year to be in the business, due to where we are in the cycle. Might hop on after the next (probably bad) quarter for them.

so decided to just buy Dynasty Warriors Next so I'd have some Vita game so I can truly play the system.

but man, I didn't know HOW big the vita is... I mean it's still like half an inch bigger than the 3DS + CPP combo (which could at least fit in my pocket!)

http://img.imgcake.com/GuessMyUserName/ibnmU5aMKGIk3lgifqu.gif

Good screen + good controls demands a decent size.

playing DWN I don't know much about good controls! regular gameplay's fine but aughhh all the spliced in touch/motion crap just mixed innn

played the Uncharted demo too and ugh why is there so much touch screen focus and doing stupid stuff to cut obstacles, and for some reason you can only navigate the options with slide-touch that's terriblllle

but oh well, I didn't buy my Vita for Vita games, got DWN for curiosity while I play psp games and wait for p4p

Why did you even get DWN, anyway? Weird choice when there's so much better on the system!

I was just going by a quick browse at the PSN store to pick something out

didn't like the UC demo, Unit 13 demo had an error while downloading and I was too lazy to download it again, Wipeout was good but I'm not that big into racing games so I went with DW. Though Nio did recommend it... but I was kinda decided on it before she did anyways.

Either way I'm happy with my purchase. My brother really likes these games too so showing him was also part of an influence.

The placeholder date got me excited, then I realized it was just a placeholder date.

Probably.

new analog sticks is good news

that thing really needs to have a capacitive touch screen and not a resistive one, though

$99 w/NSMB?

That's a $50 Wii!

Mr Caffeine? He was awesome. - Ayuyu

I expect to see a couple of price drops at conferences this year. $99 is overdue for the Wii.

If 360 gets a price cut I might consider getting one this holiday!

I was thinking of replacing the old Xbox but everything with a hard drive seemed to be 300+

I was interested in the "get a free 360" promo for buying a windows PC, but i don't want the crappy arcade.

Mr Caffeine? He was awesome. - Ayuyu

Yeah, I think the PS3 and 360 will drop $50 from where they're at right now. PS3 $199, 360 $249.

I don't know if PS3 will drop again, but Microsoft has gotta do a price drop.

I have a feeling Sony might hold off until the holidays

It'll either be now or in August, but they'll drop the price. You can usually tell by their expected shipments for the year.
