You will lose someone you can’t live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.

Wondering how Nintendo’s Wii U launch compares to their previous consoles? Baby, let us lay it out for you.

Reblogged because I love charts like these. I find it strangely interesting to see how console launches have grown over the past 30 years. Looking back, the original NES had a pretty solid launch as many of those titles have aged (and sold) well. On the other hand, the Nintendo DS’s launch is pretty awful. To think *that’s* the Nintendo system that sold 150 million units?!?!

Like the old saying goes, it’s not how you start, but how you finish.
