It's not looking that good for the PS3 is it? Interesting read: Last week's NPD sales data confirmed Nintendo's dominance at the register in both the handheld and console spaces. The Wii's lower price point pits the most heated (and arguably "next-gen") console war between Microsoft and Sony. When NPD reported that Sony sold just 127k PlayStation 3s in the U.S. in February, it's easy to suggest that the company is in dire straits, but looking at the path tread last year by the Xbox 360, Sony is actually on familiar ground. During its first four months at retail, Microsoft's Xbox 3

Quite conclusive then that. Thanks for the efforts soubriquet.

The Simpsons DVDs are fantastic. Each season is full of interesting stuff on top of the actual episodes. I heard rumors they were making new Futurama as well. Now that would be sweet.

Just finished watching that - very interesting. It makes a persuasive argument. I'm one of those who don't know all the science behind it all but after watching that I'm interested in finding out more and learning the sides. Thanks for the link.

No online, no multiplayer, hardly any options at all. The Japanese release just felt rushed. Didn't really affect the racing itself. I hear the overseas versions though are a more polished produce, features wise.

Expecting an exciting season. I wonder if we will miss Schuey.

Motorstorm is excellent (if a little featureless). I'd say the best PS3 game there is out there so far.

Not sure but there seem to be new questions every day or so, and you just vote for 1 of 2 answers. You then can vote to predict what you think the general public response will be. Then a few days later when all those people have voted, they show the results. Your little Miis take part on all this fun and make it all quite lighthearted and (kinda) fun. You can also submit your own questions. I submitted the following Which is more fun? - Wii - PS3

1. Wii has an almost 900k lead on PS3 in 11 weeks. 2. The PS3 has never been closer week-to-week with the Wii than 20k units, and 45k units this year. 3. The PS3 hasn't sold more than 76k units in one week since launch. 4. The Wii hasn't sold less than 65k units in one week since launch. 5. The PS3 has never come closer than 28% market share. 6. The Wii hasn't lost market share since it went on sale. 7. The PS3 just had its second best week of the post-holiday year. 23,431 (1st - 25,531 - 1/8-1/14) 8. The Wii just had its second worst week of the post-holiday

If Wii stops selling and PS3 continues at this rate, it catches up November 2, 2007. At this week's PS2 and DS rates, DS catches up to PS2 August 26, 2007. Wii comparisons: After 11 weeks, Wii's total is now about where GameCube was late August 2002, nearly a full year after launch. It's where DS was 5-6 weeks after launch. It's where PS2 was 10 weeks after launch. PS2 continues on in the 60-90K range each week for some time more, so given Wii supply I doubt it "catches up" anytime soon; if Wii demand manages to stay high, maybe once it's been out 3 times this long. PS3 comparis

Got Akahige out for this weekend. Out of the ones I have seen, interstingly the one I liked the least was the Seven Samurai. Some great films though truly.

No the numbers changed and the image in the post above changed. Still the updated numbers are still only just over the PS2. And the Wii has sold more than double the PS3, with a month less on the shelves. Talking of PS2, if you have one and can read Japanese, try Okami. Beautiful excellent game.

This game looks particularly interesting DS lovers: Tea Dog's Room DS

Interesting sales numbers for Japan

You don't have to big-will, just you might want the space as bobby says.

Tetris!

Is it Madonna?

Me too. Though maybe not the price drop that usually takes a while. The first batches often has things wrong with it.

You'll be lucky if you can get one this side of new year: After seeing their precious PlayStation 3 launch number ravaged by component shortages and manufacturing woes, we thought our Japanese neighbors could finally feel confident in the paltry 100k share they'd been promised by Sony last month, but it looks like they've been betrayed once again. Turns out that Sony will only have 80k of the elusive PS3s prepped by the November 11th for the Japanese launch, due to another component woe. With pretty much every available pre-order slot in the country already snapped up by next-gen hopefuls

I think they should use their time and money on much more important things. What a waste.

It's 'vacuum sealed', gg
