Last year at E3, Microsoft’s Don Mattrick was convinced that The Xbox 360 would become the number one selling console globally. It looks like he was right.For the first time since competition launched in 2006, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 is indeed the world’s top selling console last year. According to GeekWire.com, who arduously collected data from each company’s public earnings reports, Microsoft sold more Xbox 360 consoles than ... [»]
Nintendo fans, and parents of fans, I do hope that your wallets are quite deep. With the Wii U getting ready for a re-reveal at E3 2012, and reports stating that it will ship at the end of this year, just in time for Christmas mind you, the upcoming successor to the original Wii console is certain to have a few added hooks to lure consumers ...

The Wii is nearing the end of its life. Nintendo’s replacing it next year with the Wii U, a tablet controlled console that seeks to bridge the gap that exists between the casual and the core. Though the Wii’s taking its last, dying breaths, that doesn’t mean that there’s not a wealth of incredible games still to be found on the system - and many ... [»]
Thanks to the proliferation of Kinect and the PlayStation Move motion controlled games are more prolific than ever. More people are waggling their arms (or their whole bodies!) for the purpose of gaming than ever before. With all three console manufacturers having jumped into the fray, there were many great examples of motion controls pushing gaming in a new direction.
Here are the nominees for best Motion ... [»]
I switched on my Xbox this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see a big fat Youtube banner on the apps page - which means the rest of Microsoft’s digital video on demand services have gone live. There is, of course, a caveat in that as usual, some services are only available in certain countries. Here’s what’s working where.Here’s a list of new video apps ... [»]
When the Wii launched in 2006, it did so alongside Twilight Princess, a Zelda game that was originally intended for the Gamecube. It was, like many early Wii games let down by the waggly, not-exactly accurate afterthought implementation of motion control that wholly tacked on. It wasn’t the Zelda game Wii owners deserved. Nintendo promised to undo that damage with ... [»]
Yesterday we posted about Nintendo incredibly selling 500 000 Wii’s in one day on Black Friday, well Microsoft has now released figures that have blown that out of the water. During Black Friday week Microsoft managed to sell 960 000 Xbox 360’s. That’s the best sales the Xbox ... [»]
Black Friday is a curious thing. After Thanksgiving, many US citizens line up in stores that stock electronic goods and proceed to lose their humanity by going absolutely bananas over heavily discounted prices. It’s generally a good time to sell of game consoles, and acts as a precursory gauge for holiday sales. If the Wii’s performance this Black Friday is any ... [»]
Is it just me or are the gaming companies getting more and more aggressive with their marketing at the moment and attacking each other more and more? The latest in a long line of attacks comes from Microsoft who have decided to attack Nintendo with their latest Dance ... [»]
Looks like Sony’s not the only one releasing a feature-stripped budget-conscious reiteration of a popular console. Nintendo’s announced it plans to release newly redesigned Wii for European markets that’ll hit retail in time for Christmas.Called the 'Wii Family Edition', the new Wii is a budget-minded value pack that comes with a MotionPlus Wiimote, Wii Sports and Wii Party. It’s (very) slightly sleeker and is ... [»]
I guess we shouldn’t be that surprised but it just feels a little wrong that Treyarch are porting Modern Warfare 3 over to the Wii for Infinity Ward. They both are part of the Activision stable but over the years we’ve ... [»]
Affected, probably, by the PSN downtime and Japanese Earthquakes, Sony’s first financial quarter saw a sharp decline in year-on-year PS3 sales, down 25 percent from its performance in the same time last year. Last year the PS3 sold 2.4 million units during the quarter, this year only managing 1.8 million units – just 400K more than its much older ... [»]
I think anyone working in the gaming industry can tell you that gaming companies can make an amazing amount of garbage in the hope that enough people out there are fooled into buying it to make it profitable. Personally I stick Pokemon and The Sims into that category ... [»]
Gaming as we know it was originally born and ruled in the east. Japan were (and still are) rocking the industry like crazy, from the early days where Mario became such a hit, Final Fantasy took on a life of its own, Zelda rocked everyone's world and the East was just dominating.
Times have changed though, and the West is putting up a ... [»]
The NPD figures are in and Microsoft and Rockstar are celebrating all the way to the bank once more. Just to clarify, NPD figures only count North American sales figures but seeing as that’s one of the biggest, if not the ... [»]
