Pretty amazing numbers coming out of Nintendo this week. Apparently they’ve sold just over 20 million Wii consoles in 14 months since the launch. According to Kotaku (and they should know) Nintendo’s Game Cube console sold 21 million units during its six-year lifespan.
Presently Nintendo is shipping about 1.8 million Wii boxes a month, so at [...]
When I heard EA was working on a game with Steven Spielberg I was naturally pretty excited to see what they would come up with. I did not expect the result to be an electronic version of Janga. Hmm, can’t say I’m too excited about this one.

They can pour tea (who needs a barista anymore?), chuck cold beers across the room (what good are frat buddies now?), they can even indiscriminately shoot first and ask questions later (G.W.B. I think you too might be out of a job). Seriously, just [...]
With all the success and popularity of the Wii Sex video a few weeks ago, you just knew there would be a sequel. But unlike Wii Sex, which was a fun riff on technology and its effects on the relationships between women and men, Wii Sex 2 is a deep and introspective piece on the [...]
With all the interest and hype surrounding the new Nintendo Wii, you just knew it would only be a matter of time before someone found a different user for that Wii-Remote.
