I like videogames. I suck at playing them, but I like reading about the industry. I subscribed to Next Generation magazine way back when Lara Croft was one of its first covers.
A bunch of links have been made to a back-and-forth email exchange between videogame journalists N'Gai Croal and Geoff Keighley, where they discuss the latest sales figures on both game platforms and software. I particularly agreed with N'Gai's point about how many people are getting the Wii in spite of its lack of HD graphics... mainly because most people are ignorant about HD in general. I'm always shocked when I go into a store (or worse, into someone's house) and see that their flat-panel TV is displaying an SD signal, but given the significant numbers of people who don't realize that they're not displaying an HD signal on their multi-thousand-dollar display, I probably shouldn't be so shocked.
Anyhow, interesting read, if you like this kind of thing. Which I do.
