@Batman: It depends on how long it takes to hit another 15 million units in NA, if post holiday sales return to the levels of the last couple of months it will take too long to justify waiting for that number to come to fruition.

@Wacko: Kinect is pretty much the future of the Xbox console.

Sony needs to fire this fucker immediately if this is how he is treating the material.

@edhe [on xbl]: Oh I don't think Wii sales are going to be anything like they were last year, in fact they will still be YoY losses but with the Red Wii Bundle the MoM gains should be pretty good.

@Batman: Nintendo doesn't really have 'next-gen' games though do they? I mean they are in the loosest definition of the term but I don't think the cost to develop them is any higher than developing a GC game. Nintendo also keeps the price of their first party games at the original launch price for as long as they can

@Simon Ochsenius: Not with a $500 million ad campaign it doesn't. Now that I know the parts only cost $56 it's pretty clear they went with the cheaper camera so they could spend oodles of money hyping this thing on a level that makes Halo marketing tame by comparison.

Start the trend THQ and get that ball rolling. I really don't know how some of these companies haven't gotten it through their heads that selling a game at $60 still is steep. It was barely acceptable at the beginning of the generation but now, 4-5 years in, it's time to lower prices, especially since games seem to be

@Metalive: I should have beenpayng more attention because I would have bought it had I known that little factoid.

@DominusSapientia: It hasn't been the last few months so while the lead total is impressive, Wii sales have been in pretty steep decline. That will change over Christmas but after the holidays the decline should return.

@DVD Player: Gamestops are frequently robbed because they are easy targets to get in and out of, and it has no bearing on why things should go digital.

@Michael Arago: Interesting, but for future reference if you are going to spoil something, make a comment that says as much and then reply to that comment with the actual spoiler.

@collex: AVPR was a fucking travesty, and say what you will about the first one, they fucked up everything about it that made it just a little bit cool by doing the sequel the way they did.

@Eschekt: I get it, why fix something that isn't broken and making tons of money. However, it's amazing that people, especially people who bitch about this sort of practice, continue to line-up and purchase the newest iteration of the game even with few things really changing.

Wow Activision plans to just keep updating their four or five most popular IP's every year and make loads of money. I can't fucking believe this is actually working for them, it's fucking disgusting, really it is.

It also would've helped to not put the show on hiatus indefinitely and then thrust it back onto the schedule with almost no warning whatsoever. Hell, if I didn't read it here I probably wouldn't have know it was coming back on until the day it did. TNT and USA start promo's for their returning shows and new shows

@xxXX_Insanities_Birth_XXxx: Reach is likely a million or so shy of this Black Ops number by now but it's launch numbers, while impressive on one console were pretty far off 5.6 million. I'd say NA and EU with a sprinkle of Japan has Reach at close to 5.6 million. Impressive indeed but not as ridiculously impressive

I hope it's EA that picks them up and it would be nice if they could bundle up instruments/games with more options and at slightly lower prices.

@ShaggyB: You don't have to worry about that one and it will most likely be EA as it will dig at Activision and let them profit off of a game they have been publishing since it's inception.

@phi2010: That would definitely be an interesting turn of events but it would be highly unlikely.

The prices for those mounts and cables are absurd! I hate to use the Move as a comparison but the flat panel clip to mount the camera is $12.99 and yeah it's smaller but jeez $40 for one is outrageous.
