      Nintendo Sells 400,000+ DSi Units During Launch Week

      April 20, 2009 /

      The Nintendo DSiIn another move that could make Midas green with envy, Nintendo moved some 435,000 DSi units during its initial week of sales. Early estimates suggested something closer to 300,000, but by week’s end, Nintendo reported breaking the 400,000 mark.

      As we mentioned in an earlier article, the DSi showcases a slew of hardware and software updates (including a fairly skimpy DSiWare store), all at a 70% premium. With all the handhelds in the market, it should be safe to assume some serious work on Nintendo’s part to get their version of the app store up to speed.

      Is That a Pip-Boy In Your Pocket?

      April 19, 2009 /

      The Blackberry Pip-Boy!User sadosdemetrios over at the Crackberry forums has created a Blackberry skin featuring graphics inspired by the Fallout 3 Pip-Boy. As a huge Fallout fan, I can hardly describe my joyful rapture on seeing this thing.

      As the day fast approaches whence I shall cast off the chains of my lesser phone and purchase something a bit…smarter, it’s hard to ignore little customizations like these. The iPhone, despite its many wonders, doesn’t support user-defined interfaces, a feature I would really like to see in the future. For now, you can at least change the look with Winterboard. If you really need to know your RAD levels, you’re stuck on the Blackberry.

      Sweet Site Shirt of the Week

      April 18, 2009 /

      Wii ExplodedMuch to my wife’s dismay, I’m a sucker for good t-shirts. The aforementioned Sweet Site of the Week: woot.com contains my main source for tees… shirt.woot. If you can classify any t-shirt as clever or unique or different or unusual, I’ll probably wear it. I don’t wear asshole t-shirts or stupid ones. I also don’t put my politics on my tees. And of course, I do love a good gadget shirt.

      Which brings me to wiixploded. How sweet is this shirt? Apparently there are a whole slew of these exploded tees out there. Like the exploded 2600. Or the exploded phone.

      Whoever came up with these shirt ideas is genius. They are also about to receive about $17 of my heard earned money plus shipping.

      Next Gen Console Sales Decline in March

      April 18, 2009 /

      Next Gen ConsolesMarch saw a surprising decline in sales of video game hardware and software, despite hardware growth over last year for the Xbox 360. The Nintendo Wii is still the most coveted hardware on the market, but even Nintendo’s cash cow was struggling.

      At first I was a little surprised, but as far as life cycle goes, the current generation of consoles is heading toward a mid-life crisis. There are certainly enough peripherals now to extend the life of any console, but as games like Resident Evil 5 show, developers seem to have caught up with the hardware, producing games that can start to truly tax the machines we love.

      My question, then, is who goes first? Sony, whose PS3 is looking like the Gamecube of last generation, could desperately use some new life. And though the Wii is still selling out of…everywhere, there could definitely be improvements on graphics and game design. As for the 360, well, do you really want to see the next Bungie App on the same console?

      Bouncing Around the Web

      April 14, 2009 /

      In case you missed it, here’s what’s Bouncing Around the Web:

      Nikon D5000Nikon has released what seems to be a wonderful new DSLR. It combines a 12.3 megapixel still camera with a video camera that shoots 720p video at 24fps. The best part? It starts at $730. From a high level, it looks like the D5000 is a consumer’s D90 at a more affordable price point. Well done Nikon… well done.

      Who doesn’t love a good rumor? Or better yet, a good Apple rumor? Or better still, a new iPhone rumor? Or best of all, a new iPhone rumor backed by actual data? Yes, the new iPhone’s features may have been leaked with the release of the iPhone OS 3.0. In the OS, developers have found several interesting things like: a video recorder, auto-focus, an iPhone locator, voice control and more. Yum!

      Nintendo has announced the release date for their new Wii MotionPlus accessory. If you haven’t heard yet, MotionPlus is supposed to give a more true 1-to-1 experience on the Wii. Things like swinging a golf club or handling a sword will act more like the real thing than ever before. It’s a pretty cool concept and I expect the final product to be solid. So look to pick one up for $19.99 on June 8 or bundled with Wii Sports Resort for $49.99 a few weeks later.
