Resident Evil, the game started out in 1996 with PlayStation & later with Sega. RE was followed up with more ... more.

As the PS3 and Wii enter their third full years of release, and the Xbox 360 nears its fourth, the stakes on console superiority are finally being raised. It's not clear exactly what the cause of the recent all out foot race for console sales is. On one hand it could just be an attempt to counteract the drop in sales resultant of the slowed economy. On the other it's possible that this is simpl... more.

Has Nintendo made one of their worst decisions of this year by cutting the price of their Wii? Some may say so, but, ultimately, it is within the eyes of the beholder. I for one believe that this may or may not even gain temporary sales, but rather more importantly, it just displays that the Wii isn’t valued as much as it was previously.
