It is due to the release of the PSP Go and Persona 3 Portable which debuted on the Japanese software charts this week.

Here we go:

1. PSP -42,000
2. PS3 -37,000
3. DSi -36,000
4. PSP go -28,000
5. Wii -27,000
6. 360 -4,800
7. NDS-4,400
8. PS2 -2,700

The Media Create numbers here are rounded estimates. The actual numbers will be posted on Media Create's web site on Friday.

The high PS3 and PSP sales are due to the releases of Bayonetta, the PSP Go, and Persona 3 Portable. We will have to see whether their sales will be the same next week, as games like Bayonetta are often front-loaded and have most of their sales in their first few days/week.

looks awsome but still don't dig the overly animeish look it has.

I assume that you do not play that many JRPGs then, as most of them are anime-inspired.

And by the way, here is what the Wii bundle for Tales of Graces is like:

According to the Japanese gaming blog Andriasang.com, there is word that Namco Bandai has a seven-day countdown for a mysterious game which for the time is called "Project K." There is speculation that this game is a new DS Tales game, due to the fact that its banner appeared at the Tales Channel Portal.

We will know if this is a DS Tales game next Thursday, November 12th.

Well bad English aside... if you're saying what I think you're saying..... well..... I don't know but there's something horribly wrong. Are you honestly saying graphics are more important to you than gameplay? That's absurd, I don't even see how someone can think that way. This is a video GAME, not a video. If you want great graphics more than great gameplay watch a movie, if you want great gameplay play a game.DeeDeeDee-er

Something I noticed about younger generations of gamers is how they are more concerned with graphics than game-play. For those of us who started gaming in the Atari 2600 or NES era, we have to settle with 8-bit/16-bit graphics because the technology for high-quality graphics were not available back then or it was prohibitively expensive. Regardless of the graphics, some of the best games ever made were released during the 8-bit/16-bit eras.

I see a generation gap between older and younger gamers, as well as a spoiled mentality among younger ones, due to their age and inexperience.

Platformers, then RPGs (genres I have been playing since the NES era). I used to enjoy shooters in the late 1990s, but got tired of them.

This is a question pertaining to what type of games GameSpot reviews. Here is the text in question:

GameSpot reviews most commercial entertainment software for all major gaming platforms. That is, we review almost every game typically found on game store shelves or at leading online game retailers. We overlook certain types of games, such as those designed expressly for young children, those expressly suited to special interests, and those that are adult-oriented in nature (as opposed to for mature audiences), or those that we deem otherwise unsuitable for our audience. While we typically do not review games that cannot be purchased through standard retail channels, we reserve the right to take exception for such games that we believe would be interesting to our audience.

I have several questions for the GameSpot review staff, and especially to Kevin VanOrd who occassionally visits the forum:

a) When you define games "designed expressly for young children," do you mean games from popular animated programs like Dora the Explorer or Spongepants Bob?

b) How do you define games "expressly suited to special interests"? Does it refer to games targeting teenage girls like Nintendo's St-yle Savvy, a game whose Japanese version (Wagamama Fashion ~ Girls Mode) sold over 800K copies in Japan alone?

c) Does "adult-oriented in nature" refers to any "bishoujo" or sexually-graphic game such as the controversial RapeLay?

d) What is GameSpot's review policy on applications, such as DSiWare Flipnote Studio? They are not reviewed?

Thanks.

It is not based on a single Super Mario game, but more than one:

Super Mario Bros. (side-scrolling, flagpole, no life gauge as found in 3D games, and classic power-ups, such as the fire flower),

Super Mario Bros. 3 (airships, Koopa Kids, fortresses, World map),

Super Mario World (Yoshi-riding, block palaces),

New Super Mario Bros. (art-style, Bowser Jr.,)

What New Super Mario Bros. Wii is missing are elements from the 3D-era games.

This is to let everyone know that Gametrailers.com has reviewed the PSP game Half-Minute Hero and gave it a 8.7.
