One Wii to rule them all - I'd like to apologize for the horrible title of this post but I figured since everyone else is coming up with corny word scrabbles using the word Wii, why should I buck the trend. With crazy sales numbers for the month of January, get ready for more.
.
Last week NPD released console numbers for January and Nintendo won hands down - selling 435,000 Wiis. Microsoft came in second with 294,000 consoles sold and PS3 third with 243,000.

If this keeps up, it looks like the iPod will have some competition in becoming the human race's supreme overlord.

Beta Band - Despite Bungie not giving a date for when it would be available, many gamers were expecting the Halo 3 Beta to be playable with the release of Crackdown last week. The first run of the title (a blast to play, look for a review next week) contains a download for the Beta, which right now among gamers seems more valuable than a date with Morgan Webb.
.
“There are still many details of the Halo 3 beta to be finalized but one thing we did want to confirm is that the beta will not be starting next week,” wrote Bungie.net's community lead Brian Jarrard. “Crackdown will be available in stores starting Tuesday, 2/20, but the Halo 3 multiplayer beta start date is still being finalized. We’re still aiming for a Spring release, but it could be more like late Spring.”

Looks like we'll all have to be patient for a little while longer.

And Finally... - Microsoft announced a new round of Xbox 360 Platinum Hits titles that will be available March 16 for $29.99. Here's the list of games that will be at the lower price with a fancy new box.
