They are easily the most anticipated numbers of the year by Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony: NPD's year-end sales figures for the video games industry. And what a story they tell.
NPD reports tonight a record $17.94 billion was spent on non-PC game hardware, software and accessories; a staggering 43 percent better than 2006.
But the real story is how much of a gap Nintendo and Microsoft continue to build against Sony's Playstation 3. NPD says Sony sold 2.56 million PS3's last year in the U.S., compared to a whopping 6.29 million Nintendo Wii's, and 4.62 million XBox 360's from Microsoft.
GSC Game World has shared a new gorgeous trailer of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, as well as a few screenshots.
Thank you Xbox for saving this game from development Hell.
This is what contributing to gaming looks like.
Keep doing this. THIS is good for competition. *This* is good for all gamers, regardless of platform.
"The Jyväskylä-based (Finland) indie games developer Act Normal Games today announced with great delight and thrill that their isometric post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure “Rauniot“, is now available PC (via Steam, GOG, and GMG." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
The game, which has launched in early access, has been in development for years with more than 3,000,000 wishlists on Steam.
Poor xlaves they are really getting desperate.
I dont see how beating PS3 sales last year is even an achievment.......I mean the console had a terrible linup and we all know its going to completely close the gap between PS3 & 360 this year.......it has a minimum of 20 exclusives coming this year.........oh and its funny how averyone mentions how well the 360 is doing in america without noting that PS3 has cought up with sales nearly everywhere else......and theres the extensive Japan sales lead.
