Nintendo revises earnings forecast due to huge Wii sales

THE NINTENDO DS has beaten down the PSP for the third week running in Japan. However, all formats saw a drop in sales this week, according to Gamasutra.

Xbox 360
MTV, which has had its fair amount of Xbox-related news recently, has reported that further Xbox Live hacking has reared its ugly head, but this time its a little nearer to home.

Crunchgear has details of a new Xbox 360 coin-up, but doesn't like the idea much.

Square has stated that there will definitely not be a Final Fantasy Xbox 360 release in Japan.

PS2/PS3/PSP
It seems the PSP 3000, the new slightly redesigned PSP SKU, might come fitted with Dualshock 3 support.

Unfortunately, due to the brighter screen, the new PSP may have a lower battery life.

Despite intense competition, the PS3 will not be getting a price-cut this Christmas, said Sony Chairman and CEO Howard Stringer.

The UK will not be getting the new PS2 model.

Wii/DS
Nintendo has announced that it is upgrading its profit forecast due to the massive and unpredicted Wii sales.

An unconfirmed rumour is that Lucasarts is planning a Wii lightsabre game for use with the new Motionplus add-on.

If you're in need of a larger joypad, look no further than this four-foot SNES controller. µ
