According to Sony there is a PS3 shortage that started after Xmas and will probably last a few more weeks.

[ShyGuy]

Silver had a cooler monster on the cover. Gold had the nerdy bird.

This is terrible news for Nintendo if it suggests the PS3's demand has increased.

Nintendo is doomed again.

But according to Nintendo there is a shortage of Wiis too.

Didn't they say they would have the shortage issue resolved by March though? Judging by the increase in sales from last month it seems like they have this shortage problem taken care of for the most part.

What day did RS2 come out?

March 23.

[Caliban]

How are the overall (Worldwide) sales for TLoZ Spirit Tracks?

[TJ Spyke]

I'd guess at least 3 million, the game was already at 2.45 million at the end of 2009.

Doesn't Silver have a bird on it too?

[Stratos]

More people have Soul versus Heart. I only got Gold because it had Scyther.

[D_Average]

Man, I can't believe I still don't have Mario Kart DS.  Its still on that list after all these months.  The reason I don't have it yet is I didn't buy a DS until I'd been playing Mario Kart Wii for a year so I was a bit carted out, and at this point, I'd rather spend the cash on the Sega Cart.

[NWR_insanolord]

Mario Kart DS is the best game in the series. It has a great set of tracks, and fantastic multiplayer (if you can get people with DSs and copies of the game, which, given the sales figures of both, shouldn't be that hard). It is truly amazing that it can sell 100,000 units in a month nearly 5 years after its release.

[Shaymin]

More people have Soul versus Heart. I only got Gold because it had Scyther.

Right choice, wrong reason. Both versions have Scyther.

You do get a manta ray, an elephant and a badass flying scorpion though.

[Stratos]

Really? Gee, I'd have gotten Silver then...

Too late now. Wasn't it that way in the original gold and silver?

[TJ Spyke]

Scyther was in both versions, and was caught in the Bug Catching contest. The Gold-exclusive Pokemon were Spinarak/Ariados, Growlithe/Arcanine, Mankey/Primeape, and Gligar. The Silver-exclusive Pokemon were Ledyba/Ledian, Meowth/Persian, and Vulpix/Ninetails. Crystal was a mixture in that it had some of those but was missing others (Mareep, for example, was in both Gold and Silver but not in Crystal).

Tom Clancy's Just Dance

DID I READ THIS RIGHT?

[Peachylala]

Why does the UK have an obsession with Just Dance?

Any Brits here care to enlighten me?

[TJ Spyke]

The game just passed the 1 million mark in the US. Somehow this game has become a huge hit, especially in the UK. It sounded like shovelware to me, then it started topping the UK saleschart every week. I like the commercials for it, which is the closest i've come to playing it.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I hear the game is technically broken, but if you just play it, the way it's meant to be played, it just fun.

Fun games deserve good sales, so I support the existence of this game even though it doesn't appeal to me personally (I will be buying it as a gift for someone else pretty soon though). I'm actually hoping that the success of this game leads to an improved sequel using the motion camera that Ubi released with Your Shape.

[KDR_11k]

I heard if you do the moves in a specific way they register properly. Most reviewers never figured that out.

[Stratos]

I tried it with my GF and her little sister in a Best Buy and it was difficult to register. I think going through a tutorial would help me understand it. I wasn't sure if you followed the character on screen or something else.

Me too, as I just bought Your Shape on Amazon for $20.  Being able to use it for more than just Your Shape would be awesome.
