DFC intelligence recently projected that the PS4 and Xone are both primed to sell over 100 million units each over the next 5 years. That's a load of horseshit if I've ever seen it, particularly when next-gen consoles didn't exactly reinvigorate the overall market in a big way last year--even alongside Battlefield, Pokemon and GTA.

I've been a fan of manga ever since the day I first laid eyes on the Dragon Ball manga after falling in love with the show--which goes back almost 20 years. Unfortunately, I'm not reading as much as I used to. There's still a small stable ofr series I make sure to follow regularly though:

No game is perfect. No matter how close it gets to perfection, even the absolute best titles fall short, whether it be in areas large or small. Here are a few examples from my personal favorites:

Welp, we got some US sales figures last night. Here's my take:

So I was in the next town over yesterday, and hard to park in a municipal lot that used a ticket system. I ducked into a nearby Gamestop to ask about it, since there's a two hour limit between 9 and 6; I also asked whether they had any PS4's in stock out of curiosity.

Here are mine:

One rather hilarious trend I've seen in discussions about sales figures and financials is the comment that "Nintendo hardware sales have dropped continuously ever since the SNES came out." It conveniently ignores the Wii, which sold more than the Gamecube and N64 combined and is far ahead of the PS3 and 360 in sales. In a gaming community that will pick apart even the smallest numbers to prove a point, the way they ignore the Wii's higher hardware/software sales and profits is quite fascinating. It says a lot about just how emotionally invested people are in financial figures, and the way they'll twist and contort around stats they don't like to protect their world view.

I started this month's BaD entries talking about the value of consoles, and what would convince me to buy the latest ones. In short, I'm not really up on buying any of them right now, either due to lack of games, pricing, or both. The handheld side, however, is another matter.

Yep, more ranting about Nintendo stuff. I tend to do that a lot here, LOL.
