    Lightbulb Japanese hardware sales, February 20 - 26: Greatest idea ever edition [Joystiq]

    We're totally in love with the idea of creating fighting games based on other gaming IPs. Arc System Work's 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
    Vita: 11,186
    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?

    That's probably because it's the 9th week it's been a better system. As for when it'll catch up, perhaps when the price drops.

    When the system has software that's aimed towards its home country that's not already playable on another console.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    The 360 only sold a few hundred more than the 12 year old PS2 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
