Wow, its all happening... wish I had more time to follow what is going on.

It seem that MS outsold Sony (ww) during Black Friday week though - as they should have. Be interesting to see what happens next week...

Once company is using percentages. Another company has directly lied about its failure rates. I don't know.

"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Dont take NPD sales as the actually sales

Then what sales "are" the actual sales? The NPD is the best source, you need to accept that. Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony all release offical reports based on NPD data and NPD data is regarded as the most accurate tracking hardware/software in the US. That is just the way it is.

Im not saying its not, im just saying that NPD is not actual sales. WHo knows whos right at this point

With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

What are you talking about? The article says and I quote:

"Microsoft announced Thursday that Xbox 360 sold 310,000 units for the week of November 18 in the US. This compares favorably to the year-younger Nintendo Wii, which sold 350,000 units during the same time frame."

It's 310k, please do not try to mislead a discussion.

I am a PC gamer, and also have a NDS now, but without access to a Nintendo Wii until End of 2007.

Legendary gaming moment

Rplayed Full throttle a few days ago, i was glad i completely forgot some parts from a few years back - re-experiencing them was just awesome. Lucasarts did pure magic with the limited graphics abilities they had - the cutscenes reek of pure awesomness

Too bad that the game is short - and no sequel(altho, the one that was cancelled is better to stay that way, it looked like crap)

Sorry for the off topic

Everyone hides numbers that make them look bad, I mean Nintendo still won't confirm exactly how fast (or slow depending on how you look at it) their processor is or even how much ram their system has.

This man agrees. Anyone know if he works for Sony now?

Well if MS was to be believed the 360 sold 310K and the PS3 some 155K .If Sony has some reason or at least is partially right the PS3 could have made some 170K or 180K thus the 360 effectively not selling 2:1 .If MS is "far off " on PS3 numbers as Sony representatives said the PS3 could be somewhere around the 200K or 220K units for last week .
