Rock Band - A Winner
February 16, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
The Rock Band franchise has shipped ten million units worldwide, according to MTV daddy Viacom. That’s despite the game not meeting the company’s sales targets during the fourth quarter.
“The soft retail environment that took hold in the fourth quarter impacted sales of our consumer products, including Rock Band,” Viacom said in a fourth quarter earnings presentation.
“However, the franchise has had great success so far, ranking as the #1 game title of 2008 by revenue across all genres with more than ten million units shipped worldwide since launch.”
DS Daily: New DS or ‘new’ DS?

Rumors of new DS hardware keep popping up and, like errant plastic moles, they get bopped by the tethered mallet of, uh, Nintendo’s unwillingness to respond to rumors. No matter what Nintendo doesn’t say, we can expect some kind of new DS system at some point in the future.
Would you rather see a new refresh of the current DS, made to play the same games that current systems do, or a new DS that plays new games? A DS Liter or a DS 2, so to speak? Are you ready for developers to move on to an upgraded system?

DS redesign speculation returns, gets quashed
August 27, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Like a bad penny, talk of a redesigned DS never seems to go away for long (we can’t resist gossiping about the prospect ourselves). Many predicted an announcement at E3, only for the LA event to pass without incident, but now the speculation is back with a vengeance, courtesy of Kotaku and “several industry sources” that aren’t Nintendo. According to the whispers, the next DS will release early next year, and will feature screens that are slightly bigger than the current model, both of which will be touchscreens. Dual touchscreens? Amazingly, it’s a possibility that we haven’t seen discussed yet, and a fairly intriguing one!
Sadly, an industry source that is Nintendo has since dismissed such idle chatter as a load of old baloney to GamesIndustry.biz, though they used the more professional “rumor and speculation.” Not that such denials mean a great deal nowadays.
