What a f**king joke.

LMAO, great post 120. (Quix) :D

Optimus, I wish you all the best for surviving in life. I really do. I know you can do it!

Hey darryl, I remember you had -4 stars, what happened?

FFS these anti-Nintendo fanboys here...

@ Optimus Prime, what the hell is wrong with you? Have you been darrylized or what?

T-Bag, do you mean just like gimmicky DS? Those graphics are really old, you know?

Well that pic might be fake but Assassin's Creed is coming to Xbox 360, Wii and even PSP. It will be a multiplatform game just like Prince of Persia series. I know it's not official but just trust me.

The reason Ubi haven't announced it yet on other platforms is simple: "timed exclusive".

@ Brad Lee:

Just wait for next week and all the weeks after that all the way to the holiday season and christmas. DS Lite sells out _every time_ when they get a shipment in Japan. Few of my friends living in Japan report that DS Lite shipments come mostly at saturday morning, and by the saturday noon they are sold out.

This nose dive came because Nintendo tries to get some units to stock because FFIII was released, so the DS Lite demand is going through the roof this week.

I mean think about the situation: Some japanese guy wants his FFIII but he doesn't have DS Lite yet. He goes to a store just to find out that there are no DS Lites left so he doesn't buy the game either. Bad news for Nintendo and bad news for Square-Enix.

That's why there was so little units shipped this week in Japan. DS Lite sold out like every week, but this week's shipment was only 50% of the normal.

Hope you understood, my english is kinda bad. :)

Ok, neogaf has first numbers of FFIII on DS.

The first day sales are... 300,900! :O

I don't know how accurate these numbers are but Jesus Christ that's a huge number for one day. Let's wait and see what the final results for this week will be, but it seems already that my 450k guess is too low. :(

Ha ha, great job Ludwig! :D

It seems Nintendo is trying to stock as many as possible DS units for this week since FFIII was released yesterday. Next week DS numbers will be HUGE, trust me. I predict over 300k DS's sold and 450k or more FFIII's sold. Any other guesses? :)
