Thought Nintendo’s star was waning? Think again! The Japanese console manufacturer (and undisputed commercial winner of this generation of consoles) has reported some pretty incredible sales for their hardware during the Black Friday retail rush.

EA Boss Frank Gibeau says that two of the company’s biggest new IP’s this generation fell short of the gaming empire’s expectations. If you haven’t been paying attention, the two “big†new IP’s that failed to set charts alight were space survival horror Dead Space and First-Person free-running platformer Mirror’s Edge.

Sony’s Move faceman, Anton Mikhailov, has been chatting to Videogamer.com about all things Move and Kinect related and has stated in no uncertain terms that he isn’t a massive fan of Kinect. This can be expected since he is one of the men responsible for the Kinect’s biggest competitor but at the same time he isn’t really giving an opinion …

The 2.5 million is worldwide sales, not shipped, and is pretty impressive when you think the device has only been on sale for 25 days. But I have to …
Do you have a terrible backlog of games you just can’t find the time to play? I know I do; and while some of the reasons for the increased pile of shame are a result of me just being older and burdened with more adult responsibility, another factor is the fact that there’s just too many damned games that I …
