the 3DS don't need pokemon or MH4 to increase the gap week by week, pokemon and MH4 are just another way to kill vita forever... i think.

These gap charts have to be so depressing to WiiU and Vita fans. A PS3/360 gap chart would be interesting or 7th gen for different regions.

The Wii U has 6 more months before anything is decided about its faith.

So right now only Vita fans are depress.

But I can't wait to see the first 12 months of PS4 & ONE sales. Now that will be interesting.

It's a website about video game sales... this is an article about sales. Seems perfectly fine. If people can't handle it maturely, that's their own fault.
