According to a press release posted on mcvuk.com, hardware sales for the Xbox 360 have more than doubled since the price-cut was introduced on the 14th of March 2008. No Figures have been given, but the press release states that the 360 owns 42% of the market in terms of life-to-date revenue and also has the highest attach rate of any of its competitors with more than 7 games per console as opposed to 3.8 for the PS3 and 3.5 for the Wii. Here is the full press release: LONDON - Thursday 17th April, 2008- The momentum behind Xbox 360 continues to grow, as Microsoft today announced that European sales have more than doubled in the wake of recent adjustments of the estimated retail price (ERP), solidifying its leadership position as the number one next-generation console in Europe and significantly broadening the console’s audience. “Xbox 360 is truly the next-generation console of choice among consumers, and today’s numbers are proof that we are delivering on our commitment to achieve critical mass in Europe,” said Chris Lewis, Vice President, Microsoft Interactive Entertainment Business Europe.“The highly competitive ERP, coupled with entertainment content that’s appealing to everyone in the home, makes Xbox 360 the ultimate high-definition entertainment choice, and it’s clear that we’re already seeing this resonate with consumers.” Xbox 360 is the number one next-gen console in EMEA, owning 42% of the market in terms of life-to-date revenue. Xbox 360 continues to enjoy the highest software attach rate of any game console in Europe with more than 7.0 games sold per console (PS3: 3.8; Wii 3.5) after 27 months on the market. On Friday, 14th March, Microsoft lowered the ERP for its Xbox 360™ family of consoles in Europe. Now with an entry-level ERP of£159.99, Xbox 360 is a video game and entertainment system that is appealing to an even broader audience. Upcoming releases of blockbuster games such as“Grand Theft Auto IV,”“Rock Band,”“Lego Indiana Jones” and“Ninja Gaiden 2,” will continue this momentum and give consumers even more reasons to buy Xbox 360.

G4TV has an interview with Lawrence Kutner and Cheryl Olson, the directors and co-founders of the Harvard Medical School Centre for Mental Health and Media and authors of the new book, Grand Theft Childhood. In the interview they discuss their research and findings as well as how there is a great misconception about the effect of videogames on children in society today and how results proved the opposite of many of the ideas about the effects of gaming on children. Take a look. It's pretty interesting.

So I posted yesterday about the ludicrous situation that Metal Gear Online users are in. Where they have to now register entirely new Konami ID profiles before being allowed to play. A whole lot of you claimed I was just being a 360 fanboy and that it wasn’t a problem, fast forward to today and we get to see the …

It’s… Secret agent man Clank! Secret agent man Clank! They’ve given you a number game and taken away your name Ratchett Don’t worry, Ratchett will be back. We’re sure to see the mechanically-minded mammal and his mayhem-minded robot return soon. But in the mean time, to follow in the tradition of Daxter, Clank is heading to the PSP in his …

Here is a user made video comparing GT5 Prologue to the upcoming GRiD…. Personally I don’t want them to compete, I don’t want another SIM racing game, I am way more interested in the destruction derby screenshots of GRiD than any tweaking or painting that I can do to a car.. However that being said it does look like GRiD …

You remembered to trade at least one game with TGX.co.za and get at least one entry into their fantastic competition didn’t you? Not sure what I am talking about? For every game traded with TGX this year you received 1 entry into their free games for a year competition on any platform. So if you trade in two titles and …

Dave, whoever he may be, from SarcasticGamer.com put an article today titled "Next Gen Victory: Who Gives A S***?". The article was brought about by his frustration with seeing an endless amount of comments and posts involving people calling each other mean names and throwing their toys over which console is going to win the Next-Gen war. In his article he asks, "If your console does win, what do you get? Did PS2 users get a certificate, or a medal. Did Phil Harrison crap in a box and send it to them?... Did Dreamcast owners get a bag of lemons?... What I really love is his closing statement. He simply hammered it down in large, lovely capital letters, "JUST GAME DAMNIT!" I know that deep down, everyone wants to know that the product that they have invested both time and money into is winning, and won't die out(*cough* Dreamcast). But I think we are far enough into this generation of consoles to realise that none of them are going anywhere anytime soon, and that we should all just sit back and play whatever the hell we want. Do you own only one of the current consoles? All three maybe? Who the hell cares, as long as your having fun, right. More time should be taken away from flaming and put towards gaming.

1UP has given us a very small preview into the world of GTA IV and by in large it sounds fantastic, but not perfect. Apparently the preview was done on the PS3 [unknown] version, which is not the norm, and there are some framerate issues when the action gets a little to hectic. They also mentioned disappearing cars and random …
