What a year 2008 was. Even though the week ending December 20, 2008 was bigger, over 2.6 million units of hardware sold for the final week of 2008. As a result, nearly 41 million units of hardware were sold in the Americas in 2008. Over 300 million games were sold for the year as well. Nintendo sold roughly 12 million Wiis consoles and 12 million DS portables for the year. Sony's three platforms managed to total about 11 million units for the year, and Microsoft's Xbox 360 accounted for the rest of the hardware sales. An impressive 47 games managed to sell over 1 million copies in 2008 as well. Twelve of those top 47 games sold over 2 million copies. All in all it was a massive year for videogame sales revenue, and given the volumes sold, it's clear that 2008 went out on a bang rather than a whimper despite the drop in sales at the very end of the year.

PSP - 242,216

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
