Wii is the console king for 2007

Nintendo fan must be happy to hear this. Nintendo is the console king for 2007, coz with their Nintendo Wii and thanks to NDS they win the console war. Chek this news from Yahoo.com : Nintendo was the biggest winner last year according to NPD. The company had the No. 1 and No. 2 spots in hardware sales in terms of shipments with the portable DS, 8.5 million units, and the Wii console, 6.29 million units. Microsoft shipped 4.62 million units of the Xbox 360 to come in third.

Sony shipped 3.97 million units of the PlayStation 2, which outsold the PlayStation 3, 2.56 million units. "Given the breadth of available content and the price point of the PS2, it's a mass market friendly choice and will continue to be an important part of the games ecosystem for several years," Frazier said. The PlayStation Portable fell just behind the PlayStation 2 with 3.82 million units.

From the news above, we can see that Nintendo have a good strategy to win the console war, while Sony left behind by their competitor. The only one that can make Sony relieved is their Playstation2 console. Playstation2 console still outsold the Playstation3, i think this is because PS3 still expensive, altough they already cut the price $100, it's still expensive especially for people that live in Southeast Asia, or other developing country.

Can Xbox 360 Falcon fix the 3RLLOD problem?

Have you already bought Xbox360 lately. If the answer is yes then Xbox360 that you bought have a new technology that is an 65nm. You must be ask " what is 65nm technology ?" well that number is a number for measurement for silicon production. When Xbox released on the market, they still using 90nm technology, and this technology was new at year 2005. But power that released from that technology sometime made Xbox360 have the overheat problem or known with 3RLLOD. And now with new technology, Microsoft can make the same chip but with cheaper cost, cooler, and much power saved.

With this new technology, Xbox360 power consumption is abated and heat that yielded is abated too. But is this new technology solved the Xbox360 problem? well if you say that the problem is solved that is wrong, more precisely they only reduce the posibility that Xbox360 will get the 3RLLOD problem again. Why i know that, well because lately there is some news from my country that someone in my country that buy Xbox360 Falcon still get the 3RLLOD problem. It seems we have to wait much longer to get Xbox360 that free from the 3RLLOD problem.

Sega Dreamcast 2 ?

You must be know it from the post title and ask if it true. Well that was the issue i heardabout Sega. Sega was patented their Dreamcast trademark in US Patent and Trademark Office's Trademark Applications and Registrations Retrieval ( TARR ). On that patent they described Dreamcast as " Home video game machine; player-operated electronic controllers for electronic video game machines; video game interactive controller; namely, hand held pads, and floor pads or mats; joysticks for video games; computer cursor control devices, namely, computer mouse; flash memory cards; video game software, computer game programs".

But some side got something interesting: the original Dreamcast doesn't have floor mat accessories and Dreamcast doesn't have flash memory card. This make some speculation that Sega will be enlivening the console war and preparing the Sega Dreamcast2.
