Console Wars!!!

npd comes out very shortly.

I would be shocked if the 360 didn't blow away the wii (>75k) or the ps3, with the price cut and halo3. I'm thinking 500k. Halo 3 at what, 3m? Should be very interesting.

MS adds functionality, Sony removes functionality.

What a weird generation.

I wonder if/when games are going to come on hddvd. Apparently Lost Odyssey is at 4 dvds in length.

Xbox 360 overtakes the Wii.

Halo 3 sells 3.3 million copies in the US alone in 5 frickin' days.

Wii software sales continue to suck.

Playstation 3 increasingly irrelevant. Where's Agathon?

Worldwide estimates put Halo 3 sales at 5.2 million already. Metroid Prime 3 looks like it hasn't even come close to 1 million yet.
