Peter Moore: Wii to Win Console War with Over 50% Market Share
GameDaily: It's a lot easier to talk about the console wars when you're not running the business behind one anymore. EA Sports' Peter Moore sees Wii taking the crown. While Sony's Kaz Hirai told the Financial Times that he thinks the PS3 can sell 150 million units during its lifespan, former Xbox man and current EA Sports label president Peter Moore gave the Times a different picture of what he expects the market to look like several years down the road. Moore, like many others in the industry, has predicted a relatively easy victory for Nintendo.

Dead Rising Wii Screens: Where Did All The Zombies Go?
Kotaku: To men huddled around the big tables at Capcom HQ, the idea of porting yet another big-selling, zombie-based title to the Wii must sound like a no-brainer! You've got to wonder, though, whether they consulted with the tech guys before pushing forward with the project. Because as far as the 360 version was concerned, the thing that stopped it from being an awful beat-em up and made it such an awesome game were the hundreds of zombies the 360 could process. From these screens, it doesn't look like the Wii can do hundreds. It can do dozens. Maybe.

Call Of Duty 5 First Wii Screenshots
Here are some Call Of Duty 5 Wii screenshots straight from the official COD site http://www.callofduty.com/intel/60 As you can see, new Developer Treyarch Studios is putting a impressive amount of effort into the title. The game looks equally impressive in motion, with a lot of on screen effects and a ton of detail. Between this game, Madworld, The Conduit, and Dead Rising maybe some of the other 3rd party developers will be forced to stop cutting corners and actually making game that pushes the Wii hardware.
