Here are the numbers for this week:

PS3:

158,629

360:

114,546

From the previous weeks the gap was only about 20,000.  This week that gap is double.  Given that there might be some errors with the American numbers that NPD will clarify, what do people think.  And yes, we know the Wii is outselling both of them combined, but I think the winner between the PS3 and 360 will benefit a lot this generation by getting the games that are not geared towards a Wii audience and that are the super big-budget games.  This generation is very different from the one before it as far as I can tell.  I don't think one console will outright dominate in its allocation of exclusives, multi-plats, even if it has the largest market share.

 Please discuss what you think.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
