MS: 360 Still Leading the PS3 in Europe
GS: What about the recent claims that PS3 has outsold Xbox 360 in Europe? AG: I think it's not based on actual data. I think that's clear. We went and looked at independent sell-through data from companies like Chart-Track and GfK, and actual retail sell-through in actual consumers' hands. We have more than a million units than PS3. And that doesn't take into effect all the momentum behind our back. We've seen our sales double since the price drop. Even GTA - in markets like the UK, the majority of sales of GTA are on Xbox. It is clear that when you look at actual independent sales data - not ours and not theirs - that we do have a larger install base.

Quicksave - Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit PS3 Demo Impressions
Quicksave writes: "It's been awhile since I was excited for a demo. Today, the Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit was released for both the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live! Marketplace. But why be excited for a Dragon Ball game? Well, I for one was/am a Dragon Ball fan. Secondly, this is a DBZ game developed by Dimps, the talent behind DBZ: Budokai 3 and co-developer of Street Fighter 4. So, I downloaded the 478 MB demo and desperately held hope for a spiritual successor to Budokai 3 and you know what? It is."

PS3 vs 360: It's Europe vs USA
Despite a 16 month disadvantage, Sony have overhauled Microsoft in Europe but in the US the XBox 360 remains in front of the PS3 but the gap is decreasing. In the United States however there are now 10 million XBox 360's in consumers hands. This compares to just under 5 million PS3's. Microsoft is hailing the 10 million barrier as proof that the XBox 360 has won the next generation console war. But hold on one moment. The PS3 is not only ahead and extending the lead in Europe but is outselling the XBox 360 in the United States according to data from the last few months.

Nintendo is Bringing Hardcore Gaming to its Knees
Wii Sports. Wii Fit. Dr. Kawashiwa's Brain Training. Ubisoft's Imagine series. Each title summons a bevy of emotions from those who've donned a controller since their infancy. Some claim that Nintendo's foray into the world of casual games is merely a trend; a blip on the hardcore gamer's radar that will be squashed once Sony's Playstation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 gain steam. Others believe that the widespread popularization of video games can only be good for the industry and increase the potential for marquee hits. The truth is, when titles such as Carnival Games and MySims (EA's bastardized iteration of the popular PC series) can outsell big-budget releases including Devil May Cry 4 and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, the potential for developers to continue releasing big-budget titles catering to the hardcore decreases dramatically. The unbridled success of the Nintendo Wii in America and Japan no doubt took gamers by surprise. A number of reasons accounted for its positive entrance into the market. At its launch, hardcore gamers got their fix from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (which has sold six million units to date) and with a realistic price point of two hundred fifty dollars, didn't burn a hole in many middle-class gamers' wallets. Secondly, the Wii's favorable media coverage during the 2006 holiday season made Nintendo's fledgling console the hot item, and it hasn't looked back since. With popular TV personalities like Al Roker and Conan O'Brien giddily playing Wii Tennis on their respective programs, parents saw something they had never seen before: people their age actually playing, and enjoying, video games. As I watched Venus Williams and O'Brien return volleys on the Late Show, an uneasy feeling suddenly came over me.
