I like turtles.



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

Updated the OP with new releases.

August and September look empty for the Wii.


I tried to find something but couldn't.  What website(s) do you go to for release dates?  I can find USA release dates through IGN but not sure how to find Japanese.

I use dengekionline.com

PS3 wins this week by 1k.

Next week PS3 is getting BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, while Wii isn't getting any new games.

Guesses?

I still expect incremental wins either way the rest of summer except DQM & ACER weeks.  To be honest, the rest of the year's looking kind of bleak for both machines too (just Kirby, GT5 and DKCR for notables imo, almost nothing from 3rd parties), most of the really exciting stuff is 2011 or later (Ninokuni, Inazmua Eleven, DQX, Versus, Yakuza 5, Zelda SS, etc).

Wii wins this week by less than 1k.

Guesses for the upcoming week?
PS3 is getting White Knight Chronicles 2, while Wii is getting Wii Party.

I've updated the OP with many new release dates, but there's one that's more important which is July 29th when Sony is releasing the new PS3 Slim Models:

- 320 GB Black PlayStation 3 Slim Console
- 160 GB Black PlayStation 3 Slim Console and Torne Bundle
- 160 GB Black Playstation 3 Slim Console
- 160 GB White Playstation 3 Slim Console
- 120 GB PlayStation 3 Slim Console Open Price Drop
- White SixAxis Controller
- White Vertical PlayStation 3 Slim Stand

The current PS3 SKUs also go "open price" (ie: clear the shelves price) next week.   For comparison, DS Lite just went "open price" with the last round of price drops a few weeks back.

It may be enough to push PS3 ahead of Wii imo, despite Wii's likely DQM bump.

Wii wins by 2k.

Next week's notable releases are Powerful Pro Baseball 2010 for the PS3 and Dragon Quest Monsters: Battle Road Victory for the Wii.

Probably Wii also. Wii party has been a success, and with DQM push it definitely seems that way. I'd put it at a 10k'sh lead. Well thats my opinion :P
