I'm still amazed that the DSi still sells ..... I mean it's the same price as the 3DS which is retro compatible ^^

:-0 at 3DS. Also, there are a lot of Wii games for a dead console. The is finally showing its age a week before being suceeded. Only one game in the top 20, despite healthy hardware sales.

Wow wii is above PS3... in Japan. Although it should surge next week with the launch of FF13-2.
