Random theory – Wii game prices
Here’s an random theory to bounce around your brains: Nintendo was relieved to see 360 and PS3 games come out at $60 a pop because it meant they could continue to charge $50 for their console’s titles. What I’m getting at is whether or not Wii games would be worth $50 if software for 360 and PS3 cost the same amount. Share your thoughts about this random theory in comments!
Nintendo is Japan’s 2nd most valuable company
This may surprise some people and not others, but Nintendo is the second most valuable company in Japan right now, just behind automaking behemoth Toyota.

Nintendo holds back, shuffles Japanese Wii/DS supply
Stay away from the Internet today. Why? Well, Nintendo has allegedly dialed back its Wii and DS supply in Japan, and the weekly sales totals are smaller than they have been in quite a while. With this in mind, you’ll be able to deftly dodge, duck and barrel roll yourself past all the spin and fanboy nonsense today that says Nintendo’s Ivory Tower is crumbling and will soon collapse und...

Wii overtakes Xbox 360 in worldwide sales
The latest chart from VG Chartz shows us that Wii has outsold the Xbox 360 and PS3, worldwide.

What should Sony learn from the current state of their console sales?

A sample: Given prior generation sales data, what predictions can be made about c...

Nintendo nabs 70% of top ten video game sales this week
Video Game Chartz has their Top Ten software sales chart for America online and I can’t help but notice that 7 of the 10 are DS and Wii games. The three games that aren’t Nintendo releases are all Guitar Hero related. This will most likely change with Bioshock coming out this week, so do you think Nintendo’s recent domination will take a back seat to the big titles coming out f...
