    January NPD results

    The Top 20 and the Top 10 per platform are available here: http://blog.wired.com/games/2009/02/january-2009s-t.html Nintendo's Press Release states 20 of the top 30 were on Nintendo systems, meaning nine of the titles between 21-30 are either DS or Wii games. Oh come on, how would developers...

    The december 2008 npd thread

    Say wut? CoD:WaW one of the best games in the world? Both WaW and City Folk are decent games in their series but neither are outstanding. At least City Folk has the excuse that it's the first time on the Wii, and it can sell to all the new gamers that haven't played Gamecube or DS versions...

    The november NPD discussion thread

    You can't look at only the Top 10 NPD software numbers and extrapolate that for the entire market. Wii software sales from Jan-Sept 2008 are already greater than the 360. Wii hardware numbers surpassed the 360 sometime in June, and the gap is only going to continue growing, eventually easily...

    The Nintendo Revolution, and Why Wii Were Wrong

    Right off the bat huh? You have one twisted memory. Months from PS2 North American launch till release of above games in NA: 13, 22, 23, 14, 46, 12, 48, 10, 12, 35, 11, 23, 8, 36, 24. Keep in mind PS2 launched in Japan eight months earlier than NA, giving developers even more time. Then...

    April 2008 NPD Figures... (Wii crushes all)

    Those numbers were from a quote of Pachter's without any sources given and can't be verified. They also contradict NPD that has the US life-to-date attach rates as of March 2008 as (source): Xbox 360: software sales ratio: 7.5 Wii: software sales ratio: 5.3 PS3: software sales ratio: 4.6NPD...

    NO More Heroes Wii

    IGN's 7.8 is actually the lowest score it's gotten so far, so it's looking pretty decent. It started shipping out on the 22nd, so retailers should start getting copies today. Xplay - 5/5 NGamer - 9.4 Edge - 9/10 GamePro - 4.5/5 and Game of the Month GameSpot - 9 Games Radar - 9 Famitsu -...

    Software developers worried about the Wii

    Since the article is about Japan, I found this thread over at NeoGAF that compiles the hardware and software numbers from Famitsu and Media Create (tracking services) for the new-gen consoles in Japan. Those numbers gives us attach ratios of: Wii - 2.45; PS3 - 1.62; X360 - 3.76. Now I looked...

    Software developers worried about the Wii

    I think you're jumping to conclusions. Wii was a surprise hit for everyone, it was assumed to be last this gen. Which developers and publishers were on board with Wii and developing games for it before launch? Only Ubisoft stands out and even they admit to rushing the launch window games...

    Dell 2008WFP - another TN

    Now up on Dell US for $289. It's $299 on the Canadian site. From the pricing it looks to be replacing the E207WFP and not the Ultrasharp 2007WFP.

    6 million ps3s sold? hmmm

    Copy and paste of my reply in the Gametrailers forum about this 6 million figure. In March Sony announced 5.5 million produced, 3.57 million sold to retailers. Now during Q1 they sold 0.71 million, so 3.57 + 0.71 = 4.28 million. Yet a gazillion articles can't add the numbers together and end...

    Laptop Overheat

    Either the fan is clogged or the heatsink(s) isn't making good contact. Clean out the fan and heatsinks, and consider replacing the thermal pads/paste. The OEM for your laptop is the MSI MS-1039. And it looks like it's easy to access the fan and heatsinks, just follow the Assembly Guide. The...

    Best laptop under $600 with 4hr+ battery life?

    The 9-cell batteries for the current Dell 15.4" models (e1505, 1501, Lat D820) are the same size as the 6-cell, so they don't stick out but weigh more. For most other laptops, including Dell's smaller notebooks, the extended battery sticks out. For HP's consumer line, their extended battery is...
