I think the typo in RE:Revelations is actually pretty funny. How they missed it, I don't know, but I made sure that I got my hands on a copy with the misprint. Years down the road it should be fun pulling out my copy of Resident Evil: Revelaitons and showing it to the younger generation for a good laugh.

Port Astro Chicken (from Space Quest III) then we'll talk!

Rock Band - I'm never gonna give you up...

(But seriously they're charging EXTRA for the pro guitar for new songs as well?!?)

Nooooooooooo!!

Well that seals it then, I'm not buying a PS Vita any time soon. I have too many UMD games that I'm not done with (since they were considerably cheaper than the digital or they are collector's editions). I will finish playing them to my heart's content and perhaps I'll wait for a price drop on the Vita before I consider buying it.

Sony, considering that your new handheld is not doing as well as you had hoped in Japan, you might want to consider implementing favourable programs here in the rest of the world to increase appeal and demand. I'm sure the UMD Passport program would be a more favourable solution for you than an early price drop because of lack of sales.

Maybe "in the overseas markets, sales of the new titles remained slow" because they still refuse to localize Valkyria Chronicles 3! (Not to mention all the other games that they don't feel like bringing here)

Also it would be nice to see the Project Diva games over here since Vocaloid is awesome! It wouldn't be to had to localize since it's just a rhythm game based on Japanese songs. Still glad to see it is doing well.

The chainsaws are a dead giveaway for Alisa, but the character that first comes to mind with drunken wobbling is Miguel from Tekken 6.

Nintendo's GPU has been announced, it says it in the article that it will be the R770 which is the chip from the ATI Radeon 4870. I'm very surprised that Microsoft would pick such a low end card for their new system considering they A) already know what chip Nintendo will be using and chose something less powerful (though it does technically support DX11, 3D and multiple monitors) B) They usually try to pick a high-end though often previous generation GPU so that they can still have good performance that will last years down the road but also cut costs compared to the newest GPU crop.

I don't know where Microsoft got their numbers from since Nintendo's console isn't out yet for them to test. It seems more like a goal they would like to achieve or that their games will be heavily reliant on the CPU or RAM/other components. I'm more surprised by Microsoft's specs since they could easily choose to make their new machine much more powerful than Nintendo's. But I agree with you, it does seem that Microsoft is doing this to be very competitive with Nintendo on price (perhaps even launching with a $299 pricetag, which is what I'd imagine the Wii U would launch at).

The article says that the Wii U is using the R770, which is the chip in the ATI Radeon 4800 series (namely the 4870) GPU.

The 4870 is more powerful than a 6670 that the Xbox 720 is expected to use.

I like the fact that Joystiq points out a key fact that even though Microsoft says that their next Xbox will be 20% better performance-wise than the Wii U, Nintendo's product is actually more powerful GPU-wise. I'd like to see how Microsoft is going to pull off those numbers, or perhaps these are simply the same "performance tests" that ATI and NVidia use when comparing their graphics cards that are highly bias is their favour.

Hmm "high quality, innovative game experiences for both current and future platforms", does that mean they'll be localizing Valkyria Chronicles 3?

I'm sorry (well not really), but I REALLY want that game (in English)!
