Gamers Evolved

Those of you who don’t yet have the Xbox 360 because the price is too high will be happy to know that Microsoft is trying to launch a cheaper version of the console. The only problem is that it will only be for those who live in Japan.

Microsoft knows just how popular the gaming console is – but for some reason Japan is the only one who has been refusing to give it the fame and satisfaction that it covets from everyone and has been experiencing a severe loss in sales on that end of the world. Not surprisingly the Nintendo Wii has been dominating.

Nintendo will be releasing their brand new cobalt/blue Nintendo DS console adding more of a variety to the line up. The colors that have already been released are polar white, coral pink, onyx, crimson/black and the limited-edition gold and metallic rose.

We were surprised at the sudden introduction of this new color – which they were able to keep a pretty tight lid on. All of the other colors were expected and anticipated moths before their arrival.

Nintendo released the DS in November of 2004 and has sold around 17.6 million consoles in the United States. Last year Nintendo was proud to receive the title for best selling video game system in the U.S. after selling over 8.5 million.
