Webmaster's note: The Book of Pook is a great book and a life changing read for many (including myself) but it is out of date with modern times.
It was written long before hookups, online dating, or even texting were a thing.
I highly recommend checking out The Seduction Bible. It is a modern and up to date resource.
Update: You now get The Complete Pook Collection as a part of The Seduction Bible Bundle.
The games industry continues to turn itself inside out. Investors demanded Nintendo to stockpile their DSes for the week when Final Fantasy 3 DS comes out. So Nintendo shipped out like half the number the week previous to this list of sales. Square-Enix was caught by surprise when their FF3 remake completely sold out. The picture above is a used FF3 bundle that originally sold for $200. The used price of it is $500.
To those asking, “Why does Japan matter? LOL.” The combined hardware and software for Japan is now slightly ahead of America’s sales. Japan has suddenly seen its market double in size… if not more.
One you thing you shouldn’t do in business is run your mouth off. Here are some quotes from Sony, mostly Phil Harrison, on his reaction to the mutant two screened DS:
“The idea of a handheld rivalry with Nintendo is an irrelevance, those formats don’t appear in our planning. It’s not a fair comparison; not fair on them, I should stress. That sounds arrogant, maybe, but it’s the truth.”
“With the DS, it’s fair to say that Nintendo stepped out of the technical race and went for a feature differentiation with the touch screen, but I fear that it won’t have a lasting impact beyond that of a gimmick – so the long-lasting appeal of the platform is at peril as a direct result of that.”
“Nintendo knows its target audience, because it has really narrowed that down; and it’s pretty much defined by a boy or girl’s ability to admire Pokemon.”
“PSP will elevate portable entertainment out of the handheld gaming ghetto, and Sony is the only company that can do it.”
