To be precise it is million units for 6 weeks. Yet another Nintendo title that does well. However, We are yet to see a third party have a bit hit on the Wii. The Wii is doing great but we have to be realistic. I've taken some numbers and done some flakey number crunching with interesting results here: http://sharpcomeback.blogspot.com/2008/01/numbers-game-surprising-results.html It's all part of the Fun ;) Exciting stuff with the Wii Fit.

Obviously Take2 do not appear quite as attractive an acquisition without Rockstar.

Why would people want to spend time downloading movies and TV shows to their console? What will this service offer that Sky/Sky+ already offer? Again, I dont know what this deal will offer XBox 360 users, but I heard simply TV shows and movies? Steve Eaterbrook of McDonalds is quite simply a **** in my humble opinion. Microsoft have already stated they would support Blue-Ray with an XBox 360 add-on. Although I agree online content delivery etc will surpass physical CD's/DVD's etc I dont think UK internet service providers are up to the job, certainly when compared to the rest of Europe.
