If nothing else, Nintendo’s North American Inazuma Eleven listing for 3DS doesn’t appear to be an error. We followed up with the company after the discovery was made over the weekend, and although not much was said, we were told: “What is listed on the website is the most current info we have.”

Kind of a cryptic response, but apparently, Inazuma Eleven really is coming to the states… we think. Attempts to obtain further details haven’t been too successful thus far.

I do have to admit it’s a bit odd how this listing has come out of the blue. The fact that no previous announcements have been made certainly raises some question marks. It’s also strange how Inazuma Eleven is supposedly due out in Q1 2014 – meaning before the end of March. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see where this leads!

Indications from the business markets point to Nintendo holding a higher market value than all of Sony combined. Whereas Sony’s market capitalization stands at $17.7 billion, the total value of all Nintendo shares come in at $18.4 billion.

Nintendo’s performance can be attributed to the 3DS’ success and announcement concerning China’s consoles ban removal. Investors are also banking on Nintendo making changes to its business model.

As for Sony, despite its strong PlayStation business, the company’s movies, music, and laptop divisions haven’t been up to par.

Thanks to Tim for the tip.

After considering the proposal last September, the Chinese government appears to be waning on their strict dislike for game console sales in their jurisdiction: As of this week, Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are allowed to attempt to sell their latest-generation video gaming consoles (PS4, Xbox One, and Wii U) in China if they get specific government approval, which is looking likely at this point.
