Just 40 people at 5 AM? Isn't it...a very low amount of people? :(

I hope those lines aren't a measure of the excitement for the console. I guess I'll be eating lots of crow if Charlie was right

Well it was never going to sell like the Wii, Pachter might be right (sold out until march wich mean mediocre sales until march).
Only time will tell.

It is called "Yakuza 1 & 2 HD Edition" in Japan?

"Ryuu ga Gotoku 1 & 2 HD Edition"

My choices are in order:

1) US English title;
2) Official English translation of full name;
3) Official English translation of brand name + whatever subtitles in Japanese
4) Everything in Japanese

I wouldn't count on the queue thing - hell, for the MH thing i traveled -all night- around Tokyo (from midnight until about 7:30am) and the queues were tiny.

By the time i got home it seemed like the whole of TK had decended on Yodo Aki.

That said - for the PS3 launch they had to open up the underground car park for the masses of people waiting.

Again - whether i'm right on the figure seems unlikely unless the rumour of a shipment of -only- 300k turns out to be true. The only other weird thing is that all the preorders seem to have been pulled between thursday/friday of last week.

And, as moaned about elsewhere, Nintendo didn't put out A SINGLE DEMO UNIT. Not ONE. In either Shinjuku, Shibuya, Aki, etc.

X360 line for comparison at the same place (reverse angle looking from the head of the queue) - i love how everyone is hiding their face! lol.
