    Wonky Survey Paints Odd Picture of Japanese Arcades

    The distribution of male to female is about right, with females slightly outnumbering males in Japan. The representation of youth is small because the population of Japan is aging. They have a high life expectancy and a birth rate that is actually low enough to lead to population decline. The...

    Harmonix: Rock Band 3 Might Have Stolen Guitar Hero's Thunder

    Why are you reporting this like Sussman isn't saying something incredibly self-serving? This is basically an advertisement for Rock band 3, but you have it headlined like there's some kind of analysis going on. What gives?

    Nintendo Admits Its Third-Party Sales Are Pretty Terrible

    More software sells for Wii and DS than any other platform. The upshot of this is that the PS3 and Xbox have a higher ratio of third-party-sales to first-party-sales because the first party sales are so low. So third parties actually sell more on the Wii than they do on PSP or PS3, and...

    Microsoft: Halo: Reach the "Best-Selling Xbox Exclusive In History"

    I was going by VGChartz too, and I had missed that is was first day and not first week. Halo 3 Legendary and Collectors editions really have nothing to do with what I'm saying, since we know how many copies of Halo 3 were sold. Yeah, that does appear to make it the fastest selling so far...

    Microsoft: Halo: Reach the "Best-Selling Xbox Exclusive In History"

    Yeah, the regular edition sales surely dwarf the limited/legendary sales, my point was that if it was the most copies sold of any Halo, they would have probably said that instead. As it stands less than 3.3 million puts them behind Halo 2 and 3 for opening week sales and possibly even behind...

    Microsoft: Halo: Reach the "Best-Selling Xbox Exclusive In History"

    That's not exactly the case, since there's the limited edition for $80 and the legendary edition for $150. So what you actually have is a number of sales somewhere between 3.3 million and 1.3 million.

    Schafer Claims Kotick Comments Were an "Accident"

    Anybody notice how he didn't apologize, attempt to save face, or really give any other context for his remarks than that he didn't want them on the record? Basically he's either really failing at reapairing his burnt bridge, or he just doesn't care. This is one of the more unsubtle fake...

    On Kinect and PlayStation Move

    Because that model wouldn't be useful to military training. When a soldier gets out on the battlefield he uses his own body, so that's what he needs to be trained with.

    Portal 2 Delayed to 2011

    Why would they announce something that happened two and a half years ago?
