    Now we have to combine real PSP and go figures in our heads like we've had to do with DS. At least they didn't FURTHER split the DS into DSi, DSiLL, and DS light...

    It makes me sad that the GO is doing so well... I think it's just technophiles... There's nothing really better about it. Quite the opposite. Price is worse, features are worse... I even keep my phat in my pocket, so the smaller size isn't really a benefit (well, maybe in Japan it is) #thejapanesehardwarechart

    I am looking forward to the american and european numbers for the PSPGo. I suspect the novelty factor will not work as well.

    @PSOCecil: they said it was one day of sales for the PSPGo, so the fact that the average of sales per day makes the Go a winner since the PSP had a full seven days to do what it did. I'd rather have a normal PSP, but you can't deny that for one day the PSPGo did pretty well. #thejapanesehardwarechart

    @DigitalHero: Who would have guessed? :)

    Hehe. I have no dog in this fight as far as winners and losers, but I really love it when 2 competitors are neck and neck. A blowout doesn't really help us, the gamer, no matter who wins. What helps us is when competitors are threatened by each other and are thus pushed to make their offerings more competitive and feature rich. If the PS3 is able to gain ground on the Wii in Japan, or the 360 in the states (I think the PSP/DS battle is too far gone to matter at this point), I think it will bode well for the gamers on all 3 platforms. #thejapanesehardwarechart

    @excel_excel: It's always up and down relationship with me and Tekken.
    The most favorite for me was, Tekken Tag while Tekken 5 wasn't that bad but I'm getting a mix feeling from Tekken 6.

    Kinda wish that DoA would come back. I hated the XB360 version since the pressure sensitive buttons are gone so most of the character moves had to be tweaked but other than that it felt more balanced (besides the end boss Kasumi). #thejapanesehardwarechart
