Gamer Herald - November 2010

Playstation Move is Moving!!!

November 30th 2010 20:44
Good Afternoon Gamers,

Well as we have been reporting Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and now its time to release the Playstation Move results. It looks to have been a great start to the holiday season for the motion controller and video games in general. I actually went shopping on Black Friday and got a great deal on a Sony brand Dual Shock 3 PS3 controller.

So according to Sony they have sold 4.1 million units of Playstation Move since its launch in September. This number is combined with the US, Europe, Asia, and Japan. I love the marketing for the Playstation Move, the commercials are the funniest I have ever seen. I am getting ready to actual take a test drive on all the motion controller, both the Kinect and the PS Move.


Now I have seen reviews on both of the controllers and I have experienced demos on both systems. So now I'm going to find out for myself, I want to see what all the hype is and see the next step in gaming.

So stay tuned for further details on the motion controllers and its a great start to the holidays and video gaming. We will also post the newest releases for this week, on Xbox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii and other consoles.

The Kinect is Here

November 30th 2010 19:20
Good Afternoon Gamers,

Well the Kinect seems to be the big hit that Microsoft hoped for. The Motion Controller Movement is in full swing. According to Microsoft in the first 25 days of being on the market, the Kinect has sold 2.5 million units worldwide. Microsoft has also said that they expect the Kinect to sell at least 5 million by the end of the year.

I would expect the Kinect to sell that amount plus more. Nintendo had a big Black Friday and week leading up to Black Friday, so I would expect Kinect to do more. Now through the first 10 days of sales the Kinect sold 1 million units. Microsoft is really excited about the way Gamers have received the Kinect.


I for one am really up to trying out the Kinect. I saw a demo at Best Buy ant this controller has great response and is really entertaining. I'm going to take a try at both the Kinect and Playstation Move and I will let everyone know my opinions on this years biggest hits.

Stay tuned for more and We will post this weeks latest new releases for PS3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and many others.

November 29th 2010 20:33
Good Afternoon Gamers,

Well I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, I know we did. Its been awhile since we posted but now we are back. We are getting ready the holiday season and Black Friday was the day that kicked it off. If you have not experienced Black Friday I really would suggest to do so. It such a great feeling, people waiting in line and all the video games at discounted prices. It was really fun.

Well Black Friday is a day for all of us electronics fans. Video games were being sold by the buckets. Nintendo has released its report of sales for Black Friday. The results are looking good for Nintendo. During the week of Nov. 21st till Nov. 27th Nintendo saw an increase in sales of both the DS and the Wii hardware systems.

First the Nintendo DS systems sold an astonishing 900,000 units in the specified week. Thats alot of DS units for one week in The US alone, not worldwide. Then the Nintendo Wii sold 600,000 units in the US, not worldwide. According to Nintendo of America, US consumers bought an average of 9,000 Wii units continuously every hour for the Black Friday week.

So it looks like Nintendo has had a great start to holiday season, lets see what both Microsoft and Sony have to report. Stay tuned for the latest.

Classic Game of the Week

November 17th 2010 21:07
Good Afternoon Gamers,

Very few games in gaming history leave such an impact on fans. For me the game that left the most impact would have to be WWF Smackdown for the original Playstation. Wrestling games before then were dismal to none. Since WWF Wrestlemania for the Nintendo there have been some hits and misses with wrestling video games.

Question of the Day

November 10th 2010 13:44
Good Morning Gamers,

With the release of Call of Duty: Black OPS, I started to think What is the best War video game ever made? There are many but in your mind what is the best? I think the best war video game has to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The game actually took first person shooters to a different level.
