      If a game was at 3 million sales in a week in Japan, are you excluding Japan sales numbers in announcing that the game now has 4 million worldwide sales?

      Because if not, that means the game tanked outside of Japan.

        That definitely sounds like it did not sell well outside of Japan.

          This article seems to confirm that, but still calls it a hit?

            Sounds like it might be enough to keep them doing localizations. I guess that that is a win.

                                    Is the college being so offensive as to claim that bad grammar implies someone is Asian. What a bunch of racist turds.

                                      And using y'all (which is pro-Latin) slang is okay, but not the correctly neutral "you guys"? WTF

                                          Apparently that implies that Winnie the Pooh was actually Asian, as TTFN uses the same grammatical flow?

                                          Is Colorado State claiming that all Asian language constructs are poorer than Western ones? If not, how is something that, at a very long stretch, flows kind of, maybe, sort of, like something that someone from somewhere in Asia maybe might have said once in English supposed to be offensive? Would actually speaking in another language be offensive?

                                          Honesty, the phrase isn't offensive in the least, but in order to find it offensive to someone, you'd have to be a pretty severe racist.

                                            The biggest question would be, is this real news? This is so absurd, seems like to be fake.
