Media Create Japan Sales May 14-20: Sony Domination Continuation

The numbers are in for this week, and the PS Vita, while struggling as much as ever (it gained 7 units over last week! Huzzah!), the PSP posted a bit of a resurgence on the software side, with the top... questionably so... game being a game on that system. Persona 2: Innocent Sin, on the other hand, bombed hard, which might be troubling news, since people are counting on Persona 4 to save the PS Vita.

Apart from that, everything was predictably noring. The top 10 was dominated by the 3DS, the hardware chart was dominated by the 3DS, and even the fixtures in the software chart were the same.

And Microsoft.

Nintendoland.

Thing is most of the profit for Sony and Nintendo probably comes from Japan considering the exchange rate situation. You can't spell fck up without Sony.

Kyosuke Kosaka, a normal 17-year-old high school student living in Chiba,[3] has not gotten along with his younger sister Kirino in years. For longer than he can remember, Kirino has ignored his comings and goings and looked at him with spurning eyes. It seemed as if the relationship between Ky?suke and his sister, now fourteen, would continue this way forever. One day however, Kyosuke finds a DVD case of a magical girl anime which had fallen in his house's entrance way. To Kyosuke's surprise, he finds a hidden eroge (an adult game) inside the case and he soon learns that both the DVD and the game belong to Kirino. That night, Kirino brings Kyosuke to her room and reveals herself to be an otaku with an extensive collection of moe anime and younger sister-themed eroge she has been collecting in secret. Kyosuke quickly becomes Kirino's confidant for her secret hobby. It doesn't sound that bad :oEponique

That must be a weird plot to a game.

It's a game or more likely a visual noval adapted from a popular series of Japanese light novels.

Hmm...interesting...I, uh, guess?

Maybe if Fire Emblem keeps on selling, NOA will decide to release it here... I'm literally begging for them to take my money for this game. >___> Just release it.
