GamePro: It's back and forth between Microsoft and Sony, while Nintendo trumps both with more Wii sales than Xbox 360 and PS3 combined.
Xbox 360 won the latest round in the monthly battle with PlayStation 3 hardware sales, according to figures released by NPD today. Of course, both figures--195k for Xbox 360 and 185k sold of PS3--pale to the nearly half a million Wii consoles Nintendo moved.
Last Word on Gaming takes a look at ten games who treat mental health issues as respectfully and seriously as they ought to be in real life.
"As a developer - and as a player - it's always sad and it always sucks to see studios close and devs lose their jobs. I really hope all those people land on their feet, because I know our indusutry is better with them in it," Patel tells the outlet. "As for me and how I look at things, I guess first and foremost: I don't believe in living in fear," the Avowed director.
Then gets shut down the next day. They should know better than to talk crazy like that.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted is still iconic mainly due to its corny storyline, its superb gameplay, and the unforgettable BMW M3 GTR.
BECAUSE THE 360 IS A CRAP SYSTEM. :-)
I still don't get Wii? Am I the only one that doesn't see any attraction to it. I mean at most I would only want a few select games. I'm not trying to talk bad about it I mean it has done outstanding, but I don't know why? I guess it's cheaper and compared to the PS3 and 360 parents see that as a selling point. But after you get the accessorys to play with friends and certain games you just spent nearly as much for the system it's self.
Props to Nintendo but....I just don't see the attraction.
look at it this way.. i no longer have my wii and am thinking about getting on line at the nintendo store in manhattan new york for one soon. again..
the holidays are coming.. no one wants to sit around and watch some hard core gamers play gears or metal gear solid..
even the casual games are a bit complicated for many people........

but on the wii, at my girlfriends brothers house at a family get together.. the parents of all the people there, mine, hers, her inlaws, etc played wii sports and a few other titles that day.. so much so that the elders were like little kids and had to be reprimanded for not setting an example to the kids when it comes to sharing...
at which point each parent vowed to get a wii... (getting one for my mom, when she says she is getting something it means she wants me to get her one LOL )
the wii is a great family system. and you dont need to really buy many games. all the only extra investment is an extra controller and stacks of batteries or rechargeable ones..
thats why the arcade 360 at $199 is a fail.. without a wiimote and wii sports its just a cheap 360
My prediction for the end of 2009
Wii = 45 million
PS3 = 30 million
360 = 26 million (being a little kind towards xbox)
Xbox might not even get there. You know, they might decide to release xbox 720 next year and finish the 360's lifespam. MS always has a trick up their sleaves.

All the xboxt's get excited and do everything they did for Too Human and Infinite Undiscovery, jumb up and down on their bed and rub it into ps3 fanboys. Then on January 1 they all go to their local store to buy the 360 exclusive and you find out MS had changed their mind and decided to make another consol and sell it on that day. MS is tricky guys.
What the 360 "barely" pulled off in AUG, doesn't matter anymore.
Sounds like a fanboy remark "barely" (before the price drop lol).
