         <title>Microsoft announces &quot;Project Natal&quot; - Controller-free gaming</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Microsoft just announced Xbox Project Natal (that's nah-tahl), controller free gaming.  This is their attempt to not only lower the learning curve of picking up a controller, but eliminate it altogether.  Think, "Minority Report." </p>

<p>The Natal box has full body motion capture and voice recognition.  Pretty cool, but seems gimmicky at this point.  The demo games are pretty basic (swat at planes as King Kong, throw paint on a wall) but hey, with the success of basic Wii games, who knows.</p>

<p>Oh, and Kudo Tsunoda, the project's creative director who came onto stage and ripped on the Wii for its "waggle" commands seems like a Jack Black wanna-be and generally gave me a "douche" vibe.</p>

<p>I'll upload a video as soon as it's available.</p>]]></description>

         <title>April 2009 Videogame Sales Numbers</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.lunabeanguides.com/images/sign_ds.gif" title="Nintendo DS" align="left" hspace="7"><a href="http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2009/05/66794515/1" title="USA TODAY article on April 2009 videogame sales">April 2009 videogame sales numbers</a> are in and it looks like a huge win for Nintendo.</p>

<p>The DS sold 1.04 million units (the numbers were not broken up into DS and DSi), blowing away all other hardware.  The next closest is the Wii which sold 340,000.</p>

<p>The basic synopsis is this:  Due to the fact that <em>GTA IV</em> and <em>Mario Kart Wii</em> (still #3 after a year of being available) were released in April of 2008 and nothing of merit was released in April of 2009, a year on year comparison is fairly useless.</p>

<p>The thing to take note of is that Nintendo continues to dominate with their blend of affordability and approachable games, particularly in this economy.  Proof of consumers looking for bargains can be seen in the fact that the PS2 (now $99) outsold the PS3 and almost beat out the X360.  That's just sad.</p>

<p>Here are the numbers:</p>

<p><strong>Hardware</strong><br />
Nintendo DS - 1.04 million<br />
Nintendo Wii - 340,000<br />
Xbox 360 - 175,000<br />
PlayStation 2 - 172,000<br />
PlayStation 3 - 127,000<br />
PlayStation Portable - 116,000</p>

<p><br />
<strong>Software</strong><br />
Wii Fit (Nintendo) - 471,000<br />
Pokemon Platinum Version (Nintendo, DS) - 433,000<br />
Mario Kart Wii (Nintendo) - 210,000<br />
Wii Play (Nintendo) - 170,000<br />
The Godfather II (Electronic Arts, Xbox 360) - 155,000<br />
Resident Evil 5 (Capcom, Xbox 360) - 122,000<br />
New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo, DS) - 119,000<br />
Mario Kart DS (Nintendo) - 112,000<br />
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (Activision, Xbox 360) - 110,000<br />
The Godfather II (Electronic Arts, PS3) - 91,000</p>
