Pretty painful to look at.

Still, I'm happy for the Wii60.

(first part isn't serious btw)



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

It's ridiculous how low they have Wii/DS compared to VGC. That goes for EEDAR's 360 prediction, too.

I have a feeling that VGC's gonna be more accurate.

Damn, 500 million dollars kinect advertizing and a lower price point can do a lot.



GT5's sales performance should silence those haters!

I'm not surprised. Americas is lost for the PS3.

Lots of love for the PlayStation brand in America.  The two get along great.



"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
