@Matroska Or maybe the aging gamer demographic in Japan doesn't really buy the ridiculous idea that "grown up" games have to prioritise gore and violence in order to validate themselves as adults?
With the rumours that Nintendo's NX will be a handheld / home console hybrid, it seems like this is going to be the final generation with dedicated handhelds. It's kind of sad, but I really see no other way in an era that's utterly dominated by mobile gaming.
I never got why people pay for 3DS themes, and that's also certainly the case for the PS4. Some of them look cool, but this is money that can go into my next game purchase.
This is good news for people like me, who didn't own a PS4 back when DA:I came out. I'm just not sure I'll find the time to actually play it anytime soon, since I still intendo to get The WItcher III in the near future.
@mibtar 42k is an extremely respectable number. Other than the 3DS, which at this point has the Japanese market all but cornered, it's extremely rare that a system ever sells that much in a week there.

Re: Review: Xeodrifter (PS4)
Been meaning to get this on 3DS since a good friend, in whose taste I trust, recommended it to me. I'll probably bite during the next sale.
@themcnoisy Then again, Guacamelee sorely beats a lot of recent games - and I'm not talking only about smaller indie titles.

Oh well, different tastes I guess.

Greg is harmless enough, but Colin Moriarty is just unsufferable.
Re: Talking Point: Did Sony's Big E3 2015 Press Conference Deliver?
