Considering the amount of entirely innocent people implicated by the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization) Act, it wouldn't really be that farfetched if Joystiq truly were abused by this law.

Of course, that would most likely require someone at least slightly reputable to back the claim and Thompson hardly accounts for anything more than humorous anecdotes. What an idiot.

Wait. When did PSP and PS3 sales get higher than PS2? In October last year the PSP overtook the PS2 and the PS3 is higher than PS2. What's happening to good old reliable PS2 with its huge library? Sony is making a profit on PS2 and the loss inducing PSP and PS3 are selling more? That attorney should be stricken. Nintendo continues the revolution.

hvnlysoldr: GBA sales also dropped off a long time ago in Japan, while it's still selling well in the USA. It seems like Japanese people don't like "outdated" technology or something along those lines.

Nah the Japanese saw that the DS could play GBA games.

In the states I have seen numerous buyers of the GBA after being told the DS can play gba games ask if the DS can play gameboy color and gameboy games as well. When told no they bought the gba.

In Japan a lot of people moved onto the DS due to the Brain Training games and other such software.

In the states a lot of parents don't want to buy a DS unless really pestered to do so. Wait till Pokemon Diamond and Pearl comes out then you will see DS sales skyrocket in the USA.

I find the GBA sales in the U.S. odd, because the DS is only...what? $50 more? And the DS plays both DS and GBA games.

People still buy the GBA to play GB and GBC games. My DS won't play my classic Zelda carts, for example. Gotta have my GBA.

AAAAANNNNNNDDDDD....

PS3 and PSP sales have returned to their normal tiers. I can't help but wonder what the next sales spike title will be. Everybody's Golf 5 for certain but not sure how strong a spike that will be.

It interesting but it does seem from the sales over the last few weeks that for Japan the most important factor is SIZE
DS Lite > PSP > Wii > PS2 > PS3 > 360

Good lord, all the Game Boy systems took a dive. Nintendo should just get out of the handheld business. They clearly have no idea how to keep sales up.

At the tender age of 3, one Joystiq blogger has won the internet with his phrase "attorney at lawl".

(don't know his real age... so I just used Joystiq's... close enough)

Szu, please, PLEASE, tell me that post was drenched in sarcasm and I'm just being oblivious at 7 in the morn'...

In other news, it seems that all is as it should be over in the land of the rising sun and Joysiq is making fun at Jack Thompson. Jeez guys get new material, sheesh. Yep, just your typical da- hey wait, who are you? What are you doing here?! W-wait I-I'll take it back I swear! No wait!!! Ahhhhgg-

teitoku -

Actually, it would be both. When talking to Wally at the beginning of the game, before introducing himself, Guybrush has the option to say, "I'm selling these fine leather jackets." Wally will respond with interest and Guybrush will say he doesn't actually have one. May have originated with Last Crusade (Indy also says it in Fate of Atlantis, forget which path though), but MI still has the quote.

OMG!!

Joystiq, Nintendo and the Japanese people are conspiring against Sony!!

Jack Thompson, where are you? Sort this collusion out now!!

Anywho...

Interesting to see the only consoles up are Nintendo.

Jack Thompson is amusing, and I look forward to more hilarious anicdotes from the leader of the lawl party. If it wasn;t for Jack Thompson, many game webcomics would have less material and the games industry would be a duller place.

My god, can you call Nintendo anything but the big comeback story this year? Poor Sony just went #1 in the industry to a distant #3rd... Hate to say it, but I think Sony's glory days are officially over. At least for this generation.

Congrats Nintendo. You did what was once thought impossible.

Another flaw in rfom's argument is that Wii is bigger than PSP

Maybe its all in order of how much they like the color

Lets say: Japanese love White (Wii/DS Lite), are ambiguous towards black (PS3/PSP) and hate anything with a little green (360)

that makes more sense

My comment wasn't only drenched with sarcasm, it was like a jelly donut filled with sarcasm.

Instead of jelly, of course.
