This weekend’s discussion centers around something hinted at in an advertisement for Pikmin 3.  In the second bullet point, of the pic above, it states that Pikmin 3’s Brittany is “one of the many playable female characters in upcoming Wii U games”.  Now, we have seen many female protagonists in the past, such as Samus, Lara Croft, Ms. PacMan, Peach, Zelda, etc…  But,...

Last week, in Japan, the Wii U sold approximately 22,200 units, compared to the previous week in which it sold 13,950 units, resulting in a sales increase of 169%.  Many have attributed this jump in sales to the release of Pikmin 3, which sold over 100,000 copies in just the first two days.  Sure, some of those Pikmin 3 customers already had a Wii U, but not all of them.  It will be interesting to...
