GS: And what do you think of the place of, like, you know, like the PlayStation 3 in this market, or, you know, how do you think that that market’s evolving? Do you, I mean, obviously, you know, you still have a great relationship with Sony, and you’re talking about that being your main focus, so it seems clear to me that you believe in it.
DJ: You mean consoles in general, or the PlayStation 3?
GS: Well, you know, I guess… both. Either.
DJ: Huh. Well I love the PlayStation 3. I mean, I have a Wii, I barely play it — not because I don’t like it or appreciate it, I just, you know, it’s not my cup of tea at the moment. Mario Galaxy, I thought was pretty cool. I’ve got to be honest: I didn’t think that it was as good as Ratchet. I didn’t get the huge big deal over it; I thought it was a really good Mario game, but I wasn’t like, “Oh my God, it’s Mario 64!” I’m totally in the minority in that.
Of course, I like my Wii; I love my 360, I think the 360’s awesome; I really do love the PlayStation 3, though, and I was really excited to hear some journalists talking recently about the new Burnout. With Burnout, if you really want to play Burnout the way it’s supposed to be played, play it on the PlayStation 3.
And I think now we’re just starting to see the idea that the PS3 is going to be capable of ultimately being the best system out there, in terms of delivering the best games and the best performance. And, you know, I love the fact that Blu-ray seems to be doing really well, and seems to be winning the format war. So I’m a big fan of the PlayStation 3.
Of course I wish it was a little less costly, I wish it had a bigger market share, but I think all that is just to come. I don’t look at the situation and think that it’s: “Where it is now is where it’s going to be.” I ultimately see it being pretty close to ahead, if not totally ahead, in terms of Xbox, in terms of market share when all the dust settles. I’m a big fan.

Throughout 2007 the Nintendo DS and Wii have both seen strong hardware and software sales, as people of all ages across Europe embraced the pick up and play nature of the consoles and titles released.
The phenomenal interest in Wii, with its innovative Wii Remote and interactive titles, has lead to over 6 million consoles flying off the shelves in Europe since its launch in December 2006. The unprecedented popularity of the console has also seen four first party Wii titles; Wii Play, Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Party 8 and The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, each sell in excess of over one million units across Europe and provide complete entertainment for the whole family.
At the same time, the handheld Nintendo DS console has proved a firm favourite with all generations with titles from Animal Crossing: Wild World to Big Brain Academy and Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl truly providing entertainment to millions of Nintendo DS owners throughout Europe! Sales of the console have now broken the 20 million barrier in Europe, and the popularity of Touch! Generations titles such as the Brain Training series and Nintendogs have paved the way to ensure gaming has been bought to a whole new audience regardless of age, gender of previous gaming ability.

I have been sitting on this for about a week now. I first saw it on a Nintendo forum, then another, then a site. The thing is they were all a little different. Things are slow today, probably because of MLK, so I thought it was about time to post this. The list I have chosen to post, is one that makes the most sense. The story behind this list is that it was leaked from Prima.com, then gaf, and other places picked it up. For those of you who don’t know about prima, they make a lot of the walkthroughs for games, so it would make sense for them to have the game a little early. Anyways just in case this list is real I will put it after the jump.

Wow! What a crazy morning down here in GA. We are getting our second snow in a week, we are lucky to just get one a year. For this Wiikend post I thought to do something different then a pic. Last Tuesday I ran across a piece that Mat from IGN wrote on his blog, ” Disturbing Wii Trend.” I think this is probably the best thing I have ever read of his, very thought provoking. I saved it for the Wiikend because I thought it would be a good discussion topic we could have all Wiikend. So please leave your comments a tell us what you think. Hit the jump to read “Disturbing Wii Trends”
