Individual game sales, Nintendo had the highest sellers by far. Total global software sales for all 3 consoles were pretty much even. Which basically tells us exactly what we already know. The Wii had a few great games but little variety, and the 360 and PS3 had much better selection and choices and the sales were spread out between them.

I was impressed by Nintendo. Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Super Smash Bros. all look incredible. It doesn't upset me that they're being released next year either, with other great games like Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Rayman Legends, Batman: Arkham Origins, Sonic Lost World, and Watch Dogs all coming out this year to keep me busy. I am pretty sure I saw November at the end of the DK trailer and December at the end of Super Mario World 3D. Those two along with Pikmin 3 and either Rayman or Wonderful 101 should make for some nice holiday titles. Even better!

When it was announced that Mario Kart 8 was pushed to 2014, I was actually happy to hear that. With Pikmin 3 in a few months, a few 3DS games and Mario 3D World at the end of the year, that's enough for me on an expensive new console launch year. I was so, so elated to see that DKC is back, and with two major editions: Dixie Kong and DAVID WISE!! He's the composer who worked on the greatest soundtrack ever made, DKC2! I thought Returns had okay music, but I missed David Wise. This is going to be awesome. Seeing the core Mario 3D game in HD makes me wish both Galaxy games had that benefit. Hopefully we'll get a Galaxy 3 somewhere in the future with the extra power and HD visuals. But anyway, 3D World looks very fun. So glad to see Peach playable again! And Cat Mario? Haha, awesome. I watched Nintendo Direct after it aired on my Wii U, and the front page spoiled the Mega Man surprise. Urgh. But whatever, my fault for not setting my alarm. Finally, Mega Man in SSB! There's a developer video that showcases all his attacks better. Wii Fit Trainer is also a newcomer. She actually looks good for what it is. I hope they get X or at least Zero in the mix, too. Vile would be awesome - his final Smash could be getting the mech rider. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles would all be welcome editions, as well as Snake and a playable Gray Fox. But they gotta figure out how to balance out all these third parties with the main 1st party characters, so I don't expect all of this. I think Dixie Kong (Diddy & Dixie paired together?) would be a likely newcomer given her involvement with DKC Baja Blast or whatever the hell it's called. Little Mac from Punch Out would be sweet. Birdo and Wart from SMB2? Many ways to go about it - I'm super excited for this game! And once more, yes, HD makes a world of difference in how these visuals come across. They look super sharp. I love your enthusiasm.

Not true because I mean total sales figures, wii sports was packaged with the Wii. Anyways you are the most obvious troll on this entire site so its whatever. So me writing down the facts = me being a troll? Kinect Adventures was packaged with Kinect, and their next highest selling game was Halo 3 at 14 million sales. Even if you don't count Wii Sports (in which case you can't count Kinect Adventures either). Mario Kart outsold Gran Turisimo 5 and Halo 3 (Sony's and MSoft's respective highest selling games) put together. Facts are facts.

The biggest gripe I have with Nintendo right now is the lack of 3rd party support. Almost abysmal Nintendo got the shaft from third party developers with the cancellation of Aliens: Colonial Marines and the delay and widespread release of Rayman Legends instead of it being a Wii U exclusive.

It's getting Disney Infinity which is going to be a huge seller.

Flawed logic seeing as how kinect wasnt a system and the console didnt all get packaged with one game unlike Wii where pretty much every console had wii sports

Mario Kart still outsold Kinect Adventures by around 10 million copies lol.

They didn't lose anything by missing out on Aliens. The game ended up being awful.

So Don Mattrick had an interview with Geoff Keighley and this was an actual quote he used regarding the Xbox One and it's online nature
Mattrick: "Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called xbox 360"
I could not believe he actually said this.

When is the new Halo going to be released? They just showed a teaser, so my guess would be fall of 2014 at the earliest.
