The bad news for SNK Playmore is that retailer response to The King of Fighters XII , at least at one major Japanese retailer, is that they’d like to be rid of it altogether, marking the fighting game down to $11. The good news is that Bic Camera, the outlet responsible for dropping KOF XII to 980 yen—down from its launch price of 7,140 yen (about $79 USD)—appears to have sold out of the 2D fighting game.

This week’s report from Japanese sales tracker Media Create shows that recent price drops on Nintendo’s Wii and Sony’s PlayStation 3 are having nearly equal impact on sales of each console, a slight edge going to the PS3. A curious tie, we suppose, as Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus continue to sell better than the PlayStation 3 competition. But less curious is the continued dominance of the Nintendo DSi and PSP, both doing just fine on the software and hardware front
