The much anticipated NPD sales figures are in and I am truly shocked at the hardware results. These figures include Black Friday where all the stories were about how amazingly well the PS3 sold and how it trounced the Xbox 360 in all areas so I was expecting the PS3 to be pushing the Wii hard this month and possibly …

Microsoft have let us know that Forza Motorsport 3 – the Xbox 360 racing sim we scored high because we’re blind, drivelling fanboys and not because it’s a good game – has sold over a million copies to other blind, drivelling fanboys in its first month.
