Ooo, don't you just love being volunteer onto crap projects?

Still trying to figure out how I went from putting things into space to working on a glorified door...

Anyhow, found Fallout 3 for $20. Not that I understand it all fully yet, and I probably die much more than the average person since I'm really not good at FPS controls (and the 3rd person ones are way 'off')

some strong figures for UK sales:

I agree the Nielsen companies figures that i posted are a bit suspect, I've heard their sample rate is very small to provide definitive trends. I just thought it funny what with my behind the curve PS2 love but on a serious note we do need to think, especialy now with the crunch, about just how important games+new hardware is for many families having a tough financial time. On that level i can see many people would stick it out with their PS2 etc.

Anyway good luck Asher on your Wii project - hmmm a case of 'if you can't beat them, join them"?

Heck you may even convert and become a blowhard for Wii!!!! Imagine!!!

Hey, hey, hey. Tell him to wait his turn. I'm doing the blowing of hards here matey.

There's no way someone developing for the Wii will become a Wii blowhard. I've heard it's dull and painful to develop for, which explains why 99% of Wii games are utter ****...

You say that but we all know you are like a kid on Christmas morning about this opportunity to work with the Wii.

It's a bit like how we all know that you really love the Sims.......that kind of thing?

There's nothing quite like developing games on 1999-level technology.

This isn't even my first exposure to the Wii, really. At IBM I supported the compilers used for the CPU on the Wii, too.

And you secretly pine for the day when you can afford a proper console.
