@deathtastic:
The PS2 had nigh on 7 years of good life in it being launched in 1999. So i wouldn't be surprised if this gen had another 5 years left in it at least. Not being mean to nintendo, <3. But there time may befall the other two for mere fact of graphical output not falling in line with what modern gamers expect from a console, then muiltiply that by moving the distance in graphical ouput on 5 years and you've got a reason for them to release hardware sooner than the rest of them (though please god let it be nothing like that "quality" bit of hardware, the Mega CD).

meh nether console will really win until this generation is over. The xbox sales are slowing down because I believe but don't quote me that 20 million have been sold. The ps3 is getting a little momentum but I doubt it will really pick up enough to beat the 360 in total sales considering this generation only has 2-3 more years left.

@JoDark117: it seems to be catching up quite nicely each month. PS3 sales go gradually up, 360 sales gradually going down, I wouldn't put it past the PS3. We have not even had one of the BIG franchises for Sony hit yet. Where as the 360 has had a good number of its big hitters already.

I am so glad that PES2008 has sold well on Wii and it was good Nintendo decided to push it with a (good) advert and a mini-site for it.

Will bode well for a sequel then on Wii.

I am really glad that PES2008 has been selling well in the UK and am also glad Nintendo have decided to push it with their adverts and that excellent mini-site they made.

This will bode well for the next edition coming to Wii.

Why are people surprised that the most hotly anticipated title on the ps3 manages to out-sell a hum-drum week on every other platform?

But hey, my fiancee contributed to condemned2, and i'm so glad she did..

@Garo: And remember that GT5P is sold online as well directly on PSN. So there is obviously more sales coming from direct purchasers as well. It's sad how well prologue is selling..... I'm not a GT fan so I don't get it but I would buy a MGS Prologue so yea...

Have you noticed how even when it's blatantly obvious where the picture is from, someone always says "is that [somewhere stupid]?"?

I mean, this week it's clearly Basingstoke but Mr_Fujisawa thinks it's Watford. What a twat!

I really enjoyed the Viking game, it was £34.99 at mostplaces. In real world terms, it was well, rubbish, repetetive, stupid, had vague mission breifings, buggy and slightly unfinished. However overall, I really enjoyed it!

@Hotstepper: Sega is huge on marketing in EU. Unlike the US, Sega has been doing great in Europe with its titles, and it's pumping lot of money in marketing the hell out of their games.
