So I think Lazygamer has had a total of 4 articles on different movie companies joining the gaming world now. We have Jerry Bruckheimer, Steven Spielberg, Legendary Pictures and now apparently Ubisoft wants to break into the special effects business. Crazy right? Looks like gaming has now become the flavour of the month! Are you puzzled as to why? Why …

So you think the headline is a bit harsh and just here to stir up tension? Well you may be right but it’s justified at the same time, the April NPD figures have just been released and it’s becoming abundantly clear to even the most hardcore Sony fan that the PS3 is not going to make it in America without …

So the numbers for March are in and before you even take a look at them I am sure that you can imagine that Nintendo absolutely obliterated the competition in hardware sales once again. The Xbox 360 had a great month compared to the PS3 and is actually the only console to actually have higher sales than March 2008. As …

Our recently posted February NPD sales figures showed that Wii Fit was still selling pretty gosh-darned well. How well exactly? 6 million units well, to be precise. As of February, sales of Nintendo’s balance-board exercise simulator have exceeded that of Microsoft’s genre-defining Xbox 360 shooter Halo 3. What makes this all the more impressive for Nintendo is that Wii Fit …

  NPD, the market research folks who track stateside console and software sales have released their figures for February – and it should come as no real surprise to anybody that Nintendo continues to dominate the charts. The waggle-machine with too many unnecessary peripherals sold an astounding 753,000 units in February, while its little handheld cousin sold a total of …

Games Overtake Home Movie Sales

2008? Not exactly a good year for business. Unless that business was videogames – new  stats from NPD show that Americans spent an incredible $21 Billion on video game hardware, software and accessories. That’s an astounding increase of 19% over 2007’s figures. Gamers are apparently too busy tea-bagging downed Spartan foes, wiggling their bums pretending to hula-hoop or sneaking around …

This is a bit of news that put a smile on my face. LittleBigPlanet, home to Sackboy – has had an increase in sales. Much to everyone’s surprise, the game has had lacklustre sales since its debut in October, despite its incredibly warm critical reception. A game such as this – charming, fun and creatively empowering – really ought to …

Greenberg, who has the ridiculously long title of “Director of Product Management for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live” had the following to say : “This sounds like an …
