3DS sells out in Japan
Japan has fully sold out their 400,000 units of 3DS within a short period of time on launch day. Nintendo has planned to ship 4 million units worldwide by the end of the fiscal year on March 31. Out of the 4 million, 1.5 million are slated for Japan. With what is happening in Japan, long lineup in North America and Europe on launch day are expected.

PSP-3000 gets a price drop to $129.99
The PSP-3000 model is getting a price drop this Sunday to $129.99 to clear up stock to make room for the NGP and also to combat the imminent launch of the 3DS in Japan in a few days and in about a month in North America and Europe. I think this is a good move on Sony’s part since the PSP has done relatively well, but not what you would call stellar when comparing to the lifetime sales of its direct competitor, the DS. There will be a price drop on some games that have been labeled as Favourites or Greatest hits, priced at $9.99 and $19.99 respectively.

Rogers Wireless On Technical Trial For LTE Network
Rogers Wireless is one of the biggest carriers in Canada. They have decided to switch over to LTE and is having a trial period with the system in Ottawa, which is Canada’s capital city. I’m hoping that they will roll out LTE in more major cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Montréal in the near future.

The Last Story Localisation Killed by Sales?
As many fans of the RPG genre know, The Last Story is a Nintendo x Mistwalker production and many people had hoped for a localisation of this game for Europe and North America.
Sales for the first week were great for the game, and The Last Story was at #1 on the Japanese charts. But since then, they have dropped to 99,000 sold, down from the 118,953 that was sold during the first week. I’m hoping that the sales will pick up or at least stabilize at around this mark.
If you would like to see this game get localised, please sign the petition here!

Youtube Tuesday: Scott Pilgrim vs 60 Seconds
Even if you don’t have the attention span to watch the whole two hour Scott Pilgrim movie, I’d still recommend watching it. It’s still a neat way to recap the movie in a minute though!
