And just one random note to throw into all of this for the next gen consoles, the single biggest selling game in Japan this year is going to be released on the PS3.
It's mainly because I have made reading my primary hobby now (I'm currently doing the 52 books in one year challenge), but it doesn't bother me in the least the lack of games coming out for PS4 or U. I'm going to be getting far fewer games each year for now on anyway, perhaps 3 or 4 at most. So far this year, it appears that I'll be getting Wolfenstein The New Order and Mario Kart 8. If those are all that come out that appeal to me, then that's okay.
