Well it seems that sadly Persona 4 wasn’t enough to keep the Vita’s sales, as this week hardware numbers fell back down to the low tens of thousands – could it dip below the 10k again next week? Is it just me or does Sony not seem to be doing anything about it? Sure, they’ve announced a new Vita colour for Japan but what the format needs is games!

pokemon is a great franchise. the games generally follow the same formulae, but hey, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” I’m still hooked into the franchise over a decade after red and blue.

I really wanna pick up the new pokemon games but the creature designs always turn me off for some reason. I guess I just have too much nostalgia for the old designs.
