However in all of the noise about Microsoft cuddling up to Nintendo, the implications of Live coming to Games for Windows and the rumors about a new black 120GB Xbox 360 model coming out to play, a very promising scrap of info has somehow managed to slip by quietly. And what is this salacious detail? It is the muted confirmation that a Viva Piñata sequel is a near certainty.
