Wii Fit - Hopes for Super Sized American!
Source : Wikigiz
Shortly after Nintendo’s regain the “King of the Game Console” title.Wii Fit was announced at Nintendo’s E3 press conference, and Shigeru Miyamoto surprisingly took the stage to show off the project. Nintendo is surely printing money with Wii Fit. It’s going to sell shed loads, and it’s a very clever move by the company that’s managed to expand the games market by appealing to the lucrative mainstream crowd with similarly quirky titles on Wii and DS.
You can play a yoga game that had you stand balanced in a range of different positions, following the motions of an on-screen character, and it challenges you to hold these positions for a set amount of time while it records your balance data, from which it will give you a score.
This will probably be a high demand product for the super sized North American.

Playstation Store comes to the PC
Source : http://www.vtoreality.com 
It’s a dream come true. Yes, folks. You don’t need a PS3 to actually access the Playstation Store now.
Sony has FINALLY gone and updated their store and created an activation point where you can activate up to five PSPs to your account and can create subaccounts to actually buy different types of things. You have to charge your “virtual wallet” to actually buy anything, and I haven’t actually gotten around to trying the purchasing since I’m in the middle of a mission for Portable Ops Plus, but it’s definitely going to be tested and there will be hell to pay if it doesn’t work.
I have to say that I’ve been waiting for this online feature for a long time too. So far, from what I can tell, this could actually be Mac or PC based altogether since you just have to attach your USB cable to your system and click the activate button on your web browser.
The games are definitely not quite what I had in mind for PS1. Some good ones, but come on…. where’s the classics such as Parasite Eve? Come on Sony, you really can do better than that. The downloadable PSP games could also be a little cheaper, as well as the PS1 games. $14.99 for Wipeout Pure when I can buy a used media one for less? Come on. And PS1 for ten bucks? I’d rather buy a Wii Console game for that money.
All in all though, this is some pretty sweet news although there are a few caveats that I hope Sony irons out. Either way, empowering the players with more alternatives really makes it a good thing.

Microsoft Sells 310,000 Xbox 360s During Black Friday Week
Coming on the heels of Nintendo of America's announcement of its best North American sales week ever -- with 350,000 Wiis and 653,000 Nintendo DSes sold -- a CNBC report states that Microsoft has announced it sold 310,000 Xbox 360 systems during the same period, allegedly outselling the PlayStation 3 2:1.
Microsoft also maintains that it has the highest software sales of all three consoles and expects that trend to continue through to the end of the year, with software sales for 360 as much as PS3 and Wii's combined.
Despite Microsoft's insistence that the 360 outsold the PlayStation 3 2:1 during the shopping week, SCEA spokesperson Kimberly Otzman told SeattlePI.com that "Microsoft's estimates of our PS3 unit sales numbers are way off and they did not outsell PS3 2:1 during Black Friday week." She did not counter with figures, however, saying that Sony prefers to wait for the NPD Group's official counts, which will be released on December 13.
Sony did, however, release some statistics about the performance of all of its platforms during Black Friday earlier this week, noting a marked increase in sales of the PS3 as well as the PS2 and PSP.
