We're totally in love with the idea of creating fighting games based on other gaming IPs. Arc System Work's Persona 4 Arena (http://www.joystiq.com/game/persona-4-arena) is looking really solid, for instance, but if you'd asked us which gaming universe should be turned into a fighter, Persona wouldn't have been our first answer. This got us thinking, what other unlikely universe might make a totally rad fighting game?

The answer, as we're sure you'll agree, is obvious: The complete works of Hayao Miyazaki. Can't you just see it? Princess Mononoke squares off against Nausicaä of the Valley in an all out, over the top, no-holds-barred battle for cinematic supremacy! Laputa Gardener Robot vs.

3DS: 76,322
PS3: 27,111
PSP: 15,928

Wii: 7,878
Xbox 360: 1,508
PS2: 1,269
DSi LL (a.k.a. XL): 977
DSi: 662

This is the 9th week in a row the 3DS has outsold the PS Vita by 7-to-1. When will the Vita gain some momentum in its home country?

LOL at 1,508 XBOX 360's.

When the system has software that's aimed towards its home country that's not already playable on another console.

The 360 only sold a few hundred more than the 12 year old PS2 LOL You could probably run PS2 games on a 360 with some software.

I'm surprised the 360 actually outsold the PS2. I used to watch this list on andriasang all the time and there were some weeks that the lowly PSPGo outsold the 360.

No idea why MS hasn't given up on that region.

Well to be fair, Japan is the 3DS' home country as well
