Wii Play finally dying, nice debut for Infamous and man UFC is really getting big, over 1 million software is big for MMA, game is fun deserves the sales. recession really hitting home, I expected PS3 to be under 100k this month, as much as 360 fanboys like to beat there chest about how much better the 360 is than the PS3, for the pricing it's really not doing all that well outside holiday months, it's advantage is that it came onto the market 1 year before and thus making the install base difference and thus why we see 360 sell so much better than the PS3 counterpart. recession finally slapping Wii as well.

who still buys ps2?

poor gamers, people that had there ps2 recently crap out on them, new gamers. lots of backlog to play on that system.

The DS is kickin' ass.
Lol, PS3 is catching up to the 360.

The games are pretty much what I'd figure, not too hard to tell what game will do good when a lot of them are sucking.
The consoles/handhelds did surprise me, though.

Anyone buy Sacred 2? It seemed right up my alley but I lost track of release date+ lack of funding, how is it?

I wasn't too interesting in it, it just didn't look that amazing to me, I dunno.
Haven't heard anything about it either.

You know, now that I think about it, I haven't bought a new game for a long time.
3-4 months I think.

I'm saving up for a iTouch, otherwise I might have actually played some new games.
What about Wolfenstein? Is that gonna be an exclusive?

I'm not sold on Wolfenstein, and as far as I know it'll be on the HD trifeca of PC/360/PS3. I need Gran Turismo 5 to come out and eat my soul, or some other racer that is awesome to come out in the mean time while I wait 3 decades to get to play GT5. 360 will probably get 3 Forza's this gen before I get my first GT :( [melo-dramatic, doom and gloom moment as GT is suppose to come early 2010, possible late 2009]

Thank goodness, I really want it, I've been looking forward to it since it was announced, lol.
I was never big on Racing games, I only have 2.
Burnout Revenge and PGR3.
Burnout I got for a birthday, PGR3 I had since it was released.
All racing games are the same for me.
So I don't really care about Forza either, lol.

1. but people could just get a used ps2 for cheap or something
2. final fantasy 13 and gran turismo 5 are the reasons i bought a ps3. where are youuuuuu

[jakncoke]

Why buy used though? There only 100, you can't even get 2 current gens games for that. Never know what previous owners did to the used, save headaches and just buy new consoles if the choice is there.
