With Nintendo having released its latest financial results earlier today, one fan has created a couple of charts comparing Wii U and 3DS sales to some of the company’s more recent systems.
First, here’s a look at how the Wii U is stacking up against the Wii and GameCube:
And below is a look at 3DS sales compared to the DS and GBA:
Like Nintendo, Capcom posted its latest financial results today for the second quarter of the FY2014 period. GameSpot picked up on some of the more interesting tidbits, which we’ve rounded up below.
– Results down as a whole
– ¥25.9 billion ($239.6 million) in revenue gained
– That’s down 51.3 percent compared to the same period last year
– Profits fell to ¥2.9 billion ($26.8 million) for a drop of 39.9 percent
– Capcom says the downturn is due to a lack of major titles compared to last year
– Ultra Street Fight IV and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy saw “steady sales”
– Monster Hunter Frontier G and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite performed “solidly”
– Capcom’s video game business unit (“Digital Contents”) saw even worse results than the company did overall
– Revenue was ¥13.5 billion ($124.9 million)
– This is down 64.1 percent compared to last year
– Operating income was ¥2.1 billion ($19.4 million) for a drop of 60 percent compared to last year
Update: Serebii’s initial report was a bit incorrect. Here’s some clarification about the situation:
Following the release of the Version 1.3 patch last night, one of the small features that have been added has been confirmed. In addition to various bugfixes, such as a fix regarding Vivillon’s image not properly appearing in Friend Safari’s menus, the patch now fixes various special animations for when PokéBalls open on trying to capture a Pokémon or sending one in battle. Previously, these animations could be seen in battle, but not when you sent out your first Pokémon. Now, these will always appear when they are your first Pokémon sent in battle
Pokemon X/Y’s 1.3 update adds a small touch. PokeBalls open and display special animations when trying to capture a Pokemon or sending Pokemon into battle. Dream Balls and Cherish Balls had separate animations previously, though all except Apricorn Balls now appear to have new animations.
We originally thought that Prima would release separate guides for the two new Smash Bros. games. That isn’t the case though, as one guide is being made for both titles.

, which comes with 304 pages. Here’s a look at the 288-page paperback version
