Not kind of. Miss a lot. That look and feel. That not being touch screen. Cool f*cking device, that was. But had to renew for 2 years and was able to swap without a lot of extra costs so picked out a new toy instead. MrPraline
The ones with the Keyboars have touchscreens as well, and they have a keyboard version of the latest device as well.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/30/rim-changing-name-to-blackberry_n_2581969.html So, Rim is changing it's name to Blackberry, which will probably cause an identity crisis. The reason they gave is since its there only brand, and they need to be with the brand in order to give the company a cleaner image of what they are. Although all people with brains know they did this so that they can have a better chance of gaining peoples attention to buy there phones, and throwing blackberry on everything to recognize the name brand. Although that was not exactly much of an issue before. Personally I think RIM is the cooler sounding name but whatever, it;s not like they ever put their name on the blacberry's anyway like other companies do.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"][QUOTE="Zophar87"][QUOTE="TheTolemac"] In his defense, BlackopsII which has been ignore in Japan on PS3, has topped sales charts and has outsold the Wii U by itself(for one week) and outsold all individual games for the Wii U 3 weeks in a row. Excuses? None? ok..... That's a HUGE WII U fail.

How is that coming to anybody's defense? So the highest selling game of last gen that's available across four platforms outsold a new console? What kind of argument is that? It had absolutely NOTHING to do with ANYTHING that I said.

Yeah, no, but Wii Sports outsold BlackopsII on Wii U.

Wii sports isn't a Wii U game?

[QUOTE="Meinhard1"]Nintendo has a large enough core audience where they'll ultimately do just fine. I'm always surprised when people think its a good idea for Nintendo to release games on itunes.

When BO2 comes out of nowhere topping charts and selling more than each of your games individually on 7 year old consoles that got outsold by the 3DS in 4 days or something, than saying they will be fine qualifies solitary confinement in a straight-jacket. Also, you don;t release games on Itunes, it's the App Store. Sometimes you just go to realize when the end is near, because right now you are going crazy my friend.

[QUOTE="Heil68"]Vita is almost outselling the Wiiu :lol: Zophar87
It's pretty f*cking funny how you manage to shoot yourself in the foot on a regular basis on this board. You do know that handheld gaming makes up the vast majority of Japan's market, right? You also know that the Vita has been out for over a year in Japan and cannot even outsell a console that is a little over a month old in Japan? To me, that's a Vita fail. In fact, that's a HUGE Vita fail.

In his defense, BlackopsII which has been ignore in Japan on PS3, has topped sales charts and has outsold the Wii U by itself(for one week) and outsold all individual games for the Wii U 3 weeks in a row. Excuses? None? ok..... That's a HUGE WII U fail.

[QUOTE="TheTolemac"][QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"]

Yakuza 4 was better then 3. Dead Souls was average but it was a spin-off and not part of the main series. Yakuza 5 outside of Haruka's parts is great.

Black Ops outselling Yakuza in Japan proof? If you mean in the West no **** it's COD.

You just posted results that shows that B2 outsold Pokemon, 3Dland, and Yakuza among others 3 weeks in a row.

Look at overall sales.

That excuse doesn't work. BopsII was all the way down the list now it's topping charts. Animal Crossing has almost outsold both main mario games overall sales and is double almost everything elses. Explain Blackops jumping up to top the charts all of a sudden? Also why has Blackops outsold every individual Wii U game almost for 3 weeks in a row? Yakuza 4 itself, has around 500,000 sales, and has slowed to a halt, BO2 is holding out selling over !0,000+ every week, Yakuza barely made it near 5,000. Last week it was LESS than that. Seems lack of consumer interest.

When Blackops II sells more than the Console, and each of the games individually you know it's time to discontinue. They should Re-Release the Wii u, improve and few things, add a few features, keep the pad controller, but have a pro-controller bundled with each console as well and change the name

[QUOTE="TheTolemac"]The series gets worse and worse every entry even in Japan were BlackopsII has even outsold it many times in a row now. there is no point in releasing Yakuza 5 in the west when its failure rate is guaranteed. TC you need to realize no one is buying the game.FlamesOfGrey

[QUOTE="osirisx3"]

Gaijin dont get it unless they are huge weeaboos ( no insult intended)

You can say that about 90% of Japanese games considering most don't sell well in the West in the first place. Alot of people take the success of Nintendo and a couple of IP's from Capcom / Namco / Square-Enix and act like it's the norm but it really isn't.

A lot of them actually sell more than the japanese counterparts, but with international shipments and translation the numbers aren't enough to bring in profit.
