"The video game industry is very similar to sports in the sense that stats are analyzed, argued over and then reanalyzed again to the point that it's hard to tell what all the numbers really mean. Industry execs and even fanboys like to throw out numbers monthly depending on whether or not those numbers promote that individuals argument or business position. There's one thing that can't be debated and that is the simple breakdown of launch-to-date sales in the United States."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
in the US though? Japan sells a lot more I think. Wow though on Nintnedo DS sales!
Hmm the article's chart shows two NDS and no PS3. I take it that PS3 is the second NDS. /s
Who I'm kidding, USA is indeed a tough country to crack, Sony. Thanks goodness I'm an European living in Europe, Sony's strong market.
In the US huh?
here in Europe it's doing really good job with huge sellers such as FIFA 11 and Gran Turismo 5.
its sad how me me me me american journalism is. The ps3 will soon be number 2 worldwide and the 260 will be dead last. Whats the better position now?
And the FUD begins. Far behind in the US, yet somehow you fail to mention the 2.1 million unit difference worldwide. As for the Wii...we know its won.
