Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

The UK is a wierd market. I just look at all the houses with the identical style and brick and I think to myself how is this not any less conformist than Japan? If the Wii isn't the 'in' thing then it doesn't surprise me that its not doing as well as in other areas.

are houses at least here in northern ireland were built in estates and sold for around the same price.  the style and bricks general depend on who got the contract to build them, and when they were built.  I guess it also depends who they were being built for. council housing for people who could barely afford it. slightly up from that is people who took out a mortgage and will pay it back later, up from that the more wealthy, and up from that is people who owned land and built it themselves, (well hired people to build it) usually designed they way they want it.  but there is differences.  am sure it's like that in most places in the world, is it not.  I can see how the similarity's in life style could effect changes through out a country's buying habits.

I know but still ewww to have high density ugly. At least when ugly is spread out you have a chance to look at something other than ugly every so often. But still when ugly gets repeated for over a mile down the road its something to run away from very fast. Im pretty sure that they use the same colour brick so they can colour match the brick dust to location so they can figure out where the dead came from after a huge disaster.



Tease.

Huh, I missed that interesting little point. Can this turn into a pattern or is this a blip on the landscape?

Obviously the +17% boost from RDR had it's effect, but 360 had to be within striking distance for a 17% boost to get it above Wii by over 5%.

Taking things off topic, but I can't be arsed making a whole thread about it so apologies for this. PS3 is

next time your here try to get out into the countryside.  there are still generally the same because of planning permissions and stuff, but they generally aim to look good rather than put practicality first. there are some beautiful towns, and the old building, built hundreds of year ago by rich people are a testament to what Britain used to be. I have been to east Anglia, Yorkshire, and Cornwall on my holidays and they are a very nice place.



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).

Oh wow, I also noticed, 360 was 200 units away from outselling the entire Playstation library in the UK

The bank holiday deals have been pretty good here over the weekend for Microsoft and Nintendo. They had 360 for £119 and Wii for £129 for Black Edition

Also Forza 3 was selling for around £10 so expect that to have got a big boost.

When the numbers are released you would expect the gap between 360/Wii to PS3 to be quite big this week.
