Japanese hardware sales, April 20 - April 26: Dear John edition


Dearest PS3,

It's often been said that fools rush in where angels fear to tread -- now we finally understand why. Our seven-day romance burned too brightly, and, as a result, all too briefly. We said a lot of things -- we both did -- which we thought we meant at the time. Only now do we see it for what it was -- infatuation. It probably hurts you to hear this, but if it wasn't for Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete, our relationship simply wouldn't have gotten off the ground. Hey, we'll always have Midgar, right?

I understand if you never want to talk to us again, but we'd really like it if we could still be friends. Hey, you know what friends do? They give their friends phone numbers. Let's start with the Wii. He just got this new Monster Hunter G and -- look, we're falling in love with him, okay? Why can't you just be happy for us? You're so selfish. We don't know what we ever saw in -- oh, that's right. The demo for that wonderful, wonderful game.

Listen, let's not kid ourselves -- we'll be getting back together this winter. Unless you can pop out another Yakuza sequel before then, we'll see you in Q4.

Love,
Japan
