It's not a new term. Bodhesatva already used it last year. Feel free to use it.

Thanks. Believe me, I will. Frequently

I wanted Sony to win, but there's no way that they are going to. But I don't want to see the little fluff bunny win either. Go 360 Go!

Sadly for you it seems like the little fluff bunny is running on Duracell batteries.

 

      You could be right.  In that case my best revenge would just have to be making sure I don't give Nintendo any of my money.  The only console I ever liked from them was the SNES anyway.

Xbox 360 Registers Its Biggest November Ever

November NPD results are in and Xbox 360 highlights include:

· Most successful November for Xbox 360 in U.S. with record games, console sales and online momentum (this follows the recent announcement of a record November in Europe)

· Continuing to widen its installed base lead over the PS3

· Outsold PS3 and PS2 combined

· Record-setting software attach rate leads the industry, now at 8.1

The Xbox 360 continues to sell at record levels this holiday season, registering the biggest Black Friday and most successful November in its history. Xbox 360 sold a record number of consoles for the month of November at 836,000 units. (November NPD data)

With $298 million in third-party game sales in November, the Xbox 360 has generated more revenue at retail for third-party publishers than the PS3 and Wii combined this generation. (November NPD data)

In addition to a 3:1 console sales lead over the PS3 during the Black Friday weekend, Xbox 360 finished the month of November with more than a 2:1 sales advantage over PS3. (November NPD data and Microsoft internal data) This momentum is happening around the world as well; Xbox 360 was the fastest-growing console in Europe for the month of November, with sales up 124 percent year-over-year, versus 43 percent for Wii and three percent for PS3. (Microsoft Internal data)

The gaming business is more than just console sales – strong software sales and a growing online community is critical to long-term success of a platform. Xbox 360 outperformed the PS3 on total software sales for November at $408 million, thanks to the best and broadest games line up. (November NPD data) Additionally, Xbox LIVE continues to outpace both competitors with more than 14 million active members online worldwide, with the average number of unique visitors rising 66% in the past year. (Microsoft internal data) As an example of its industry-leading growth, every day, more than 1.5 million transactions and nearly 4 million game sessions take place on Xbox LIVE. In total, 45 network and studio partners, as well as Netflix, offer more than 30,000 pieces of entertainment content over Xbox LIVE.

“We’ve created the optimal line-up of experiences this holiday season for families seeking lasting entertainment value, particularly during rough economic times in the U.S. and abroad,” said Don Mattrick, senior vice president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “We have the largest library of games, TV and movie content and the most expansive and rewarding social experiences. We’re confident Xbox 360 will continue to drive record sales around the world this holiday and beyond.”

The Best New Content for the Broadest Audiences

Xbox 360 titles continue to dominate the industry’s top software spots, with three of the top ten games in November living on Xbox 360 (November NPD data).

· Xbox 360-exclusive “Gears of War 2” was this month’s #1 selling game with 1.6 million units sold. (November NPD data)

· “Call of Duty: World at War” for the Xbox 360 held the #2 spot, while “Left 4 Dead” rounded out the top 10 list at #8 (November NPD data)

· Xbox 360-exclusive “Fable 2” was honored to receive the Game of the Year Award during G4TV X-Play’s Best of 2008 Awards this week. In November, “Fable 2” sold 184,000 units, bringing its life to date sales to 974,000 units in the US. (November NPD and Microsoft internal data)



I wonder: do Harmonix and MTV Games really think it was such a great idea to delay the Wii version of Rock Band 2 still?

      You could be right.  In that case my best revenge would just have to be making sure I don't give Nintendo any of my money.  The only console I ever liked from them was the SNES anyway.

You are honest and I respect that, because I have seen way too many people who pretended to have always liked Nintendo before the Wii came along and now whine that Nintendo turned their back on them.

 

      I don't have anything against my GBA.  I would still like to find a Gameboy Player for my Gamecube too.  They seem tough to find these days.  And, if I had any money, I would buy a DS, but I'm not going to buy the Wii (unless it's the Wii HD and hopefully myself and the world in general will be in better financial shape then.) because it makes me feel like in 1994 when Hulk Hogan came to the WCW from the WWF and he beat Ric Flair for the WCW World Heavyweight title.

 

Those Hogan /  Flair matches just made you feel like wrestling was fake (even though you knew going in that wrestling was fake, you had learned to suspend your disbelief on the matter much as Stephen King describes suspending your disbelief to enjoy works of supernatural fiction), and Ric Flair had been on the most incredible roll of his career, winning the I Quit match with Terry Funk, leaving no doubt of the matter that he was the better man with his victories in his longtime feud with Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat, taking the World Heavyweight title from the at the time seemingly invincible Big Van Vader managed by Harley Race, and unifying the WCW title with his victory over Sting.

     But here came Hulk Hogan, and you had been saying Hogan might be bigger and stronger but Ric Flair is so smart and he's beaten better and bigger guys than Hogan -- Sting and Vader -- that he will always find a way to beat Hogan if they ever have a match.  And Hogan wins, then they have an I Quit cage rematch, and you think surely, "the dirtiest player in the game" will find a way to beat Hogan under such circumstances.  And at the end Flair loses and has to quit.  That is the way this console generation makes me feel.
