Both come with a 250GB hard drive and of course, the game they represent.

The first of these, the special edition of Yakuza 5 (above), will arrive on December 6, the PlayStation 3 is black with patterns in gold on the shore, the command is very similar to the special edition of the London 2012 Olympic Games, comes in gold and black, with the usual buttons and sticks.

All Wii U games will be available digitally

All Wii U games will be available digitally

There have been some rumors about the next generation of consoles indicate that companies have considered eliminating physical media for distribution of games , advocándose in place by the use of online downloads and steaming.

Many believe that the world is not ready for that step technological, but that does not mean that some are not preparing the way.

Nintendo wants to provide the best of both worlds and has announced that apart from the traditional sale of games in its physical form, they will also be available digitally for all Wii titles U.

Satoru Iwata, company director said:

    In principle, starting with this software [the release of Super Mario Bros 2 for 3DS], the company will offer software that Nintendo published titles in both physical format and in digital download for our customers choose how they want to buy.

    U Wii, digital downloads will begin [...] so that our consumers can choose either the physical version or the digital download the same software from the first day of release of U Wii.

Most likely that selling digital copies are made ​​at retail through coded cards similar to using iTunes or registration cards for Xbox Live Gold, apart of course they will have an online catalog for able to perform the download directly. The first way would be ideal for those without a credit card, or will not use it.

What is also interesting is that retailers will have the opportunity to apply their own price digital download cards, which could mean savings for the buyer (although price increases could occur).

While some would prefer the convenience of getting a degree without leaving home, there are those who love the smell of new plastic when you operate a newly purchased game, and I'm glad that Nintendo give us both.

Nintendo reported losses for the first time in its history

Nintendo reported losses for the first time in its history

Nintendo , the company that once was at the top of the game industry and technological advancement has brought something that we thought we saw some years ago: For the first time ever closes its fiscal year with losses.

The red numbers are attributed to the Nintendo 3DS was less successful than anticipated (even if it takes the lead in PS Vita) and has been selling below their cost of production, apart from the weakening of the Euro against the Yen.

The losses climb to 37.3 billion yen (approximately $ 460 million) with sales falling to 36.2% over the previous period.

The 3DS has sold about 13.35 million units worldwide and games purchased reached the amount of 36 million copies. Meanwhile the DS and Wii sales were also down compared to years past.

But Nintendo hopes to recover thanks to the 3DS will be sold at a competitive price since September 2012, and above all, to expect a good response from buyers when the expected U Wii goes on sale to later this year.

Hopefully the rumors about the Wii's underpowered U do not affect these predictions and in its place, there are those who are interested in new technology features (such as control tablet) that Nintendo intends for its new console.
