Damn, that God of War thing looks pretty cool. I never did play that game.

Wait, March NPD sales? GH2 didn't come out until April 3rd?

Note: Too lazy to read link.

360 is kicking ass in softwear sales....it seems people are buying wii, just not the games, which confuses me...why buy a console if not to play games?

This was "Motorstorm" month, wasn't it? This was the month that we were supposed to keep an eye on to see when things REALLY ramped up for PS3, right?


Right?

Because, the games are for children. Hell i almost bought a Wii(and i think that system is a joke) but when i took a look at the games i started laughing.

I guess MOST people'll be happy with Wii sports for a loooooooooooooong time. Casual gamers, tut tut.

Motorstorm did 'ok' considering the install base. But I don't think any peice of software short of Final Fantasy XIII, God of War III, or MGS4 will really move many units. The Price is just too high. It's mind boggling that it would take a 200 dollar price drop to make the 60 gig PS3 400 dollars.

They could also be downloading Virtual Console Games. I don't plan on buying any new games for Wii for awhile, but there's a bunch of VC games I want.
