Greetings! Tis I!!!
UPDATE: CONSOLE SALES HAVE BEEN ADDED
Greetings! Tis, I, Siggy! For followers of our podcast (our = elchibo, Teh Schizoid, and myself) you may already be familiar with me. If not, oh well, listen to the podcast! Anywho, elchibo has got me on board to help him out on the blog. Being that I "follow Revolution" I'll try to help out and vary this blog a little.
This week we have some numbers (for those who don't or do like to see these):
Here are the Top 10 console games in Japan for the week of Jan 9 - 15, 2006:
Those who have listened to Podcast Episode004 will noticed that I was seriously absent from the recording. elchibo's and schizoid's amusing recreation of the phone call is actually very accurate. They did a very good job imitating my voice and terse responses as well, I'm quite surprised, lol. However, I did not hang up, as elchibo states (my timer was still going for at least 10 seconds when he stopped talking). For those who wonder where the heck I could be that could be more important than our loyal fans, well I have a lot of things to do these days. So my personal life will sometimes get in the way of things. Avid listeners will notice my affinity for Chemistry and that is another thing, I tend to have a much more hectic schoolworkload and schedule than my fellow 2 podcasters. Nonetheless, I apologize for delaying the podcast and possibly reducing quality (or for those who did like me not being there, I guess I wouldn't have to apologize right? xD).

Well just finished watching yalls podcast. I loved it and yall answered all my questions. Sweet.
Now to answer my own questions and your responses, I also think that Revolution will do well. This is how I see it. PS3 #1, Revo a close second, and X360 a far behind 3rd. The PS3 will definetly lose a lot of ground but still retain first. Revo will gain that lost ground almost enough to pass it but just miss it. An X360 will do apsolutely no gaining. Oh and the DS is revolutionary. It has added things to gaming that we have never seen before in gaming and has changed the handheld market. That is why the DS has been owning the PSP. DS is innovative and original but the PSP is just the same old thing.
Now for Xenias and Guts N Glory. Ok for one you mispronounced Xenias, but hard to explain how to say it but I'm not going to get picky. Now my take on Xenias is that it is fake and real at the same time. Now I know that sounds odd but what if I told you the Xenias the concept is real but the name is fake. Didn't think about that one. Well I think that the concept is real but will be called Neptune 4 and made by Retro Studios and release in 2009. Xenias is more than we give it credit for but I'll send you a link to where I get this info. And yes Xenias is a game.
Sorry you have never heard about Guts N Glory but I'll explain. Guts N Glory is a supposed game made by the new company called Zoonami. Zoonami was founded by Martin Hollis who used to work for Rare. He made good games called Perfect Dark and Goldeneye 007.
Now for the game Guts N Glory arose on the idea when Gamespy made an interview with Martin Hollis and he announced the game. Unluckily I can't send you a link to this interview cause I have lost it. But the interview has never been proven real and if you contact Gamespy or Zoonami they say it is fake.
But to counteract that if it was real and leaked through then they would deny it really. But about the game it is supposed to be a game that is basically so real to life that it will have 98% realness. Basically the physics and emotions will be as real as possible. It is about a guy during the Cold War and lives in Russia and you play as him going throug his life as being a Spy for Russia in the Cold War.
Now continuing I do believe the X360 is okay but nothing special. I refer to it as the Xbox 1.5 cause it is nothing different. Graphics does not make it next-gen. If MS doesn't want to work to make a true next-gen system by improving and innovating then they might as well just get out of the wars now and leave it to veterans such as Nintendo and Sony.
And finally I do think that gaming is in need of a Revolution. Statistics say that game sales are declinging everywhere. Gaming is not solid anymore. People are bored with games and are tired of confusing controllers. This must be changed or gaming will go away. Gaming needs a change or declines will keep going until gaming is dead. But we are already seeing it with the DS. The DS's new way of playing makes game overral more innovative making the games better. You are already seeing its effects on gaming. The DS basically saved gaming this year actually giving gaming for the first time in awhile of having sale surpluses. Expect that and more from the Revo.
Oh and I do believe that a visor is coming. Did you know that Nintendo could mass produce the visor from Nintendo ON for $100 each. That is very possible.
WEll I loved the podcast and was just fantastic. Thanks for answering all my questions to the fullest. I'll be sure to post more content and watch your next podcast.
