video games - "xbox live"

The console war is fought everywhere these days, but the internet seems to be where people are most vocal. It also serves to give each console its own set of downloadable content, fuelling the war even more. Each week videogamer.com give you a run-down of what's available to download on the PlayStation 3, xbox 360 and Wii, and declare a winner.

The songs will be part of a special collection of tracks from some of the Cruefest's heaviest hitters.

On today's episode we discuss: - Will the winner of E3 win the year? - PS3 only 2 million after 1 1/2 years in Japan - The necessary evil of paying $50 for xbox live - Hiphopgamer's first press event - Mistertwoturbo gets Fanboy Of The Week - And much much more.

VGChartz writes: "Metal Gear Solid 4 was the top selling title for the second week in a row, but Wii was the top selling console this week. PS3 sales dropped to the point where xbox 360 was able to outsell it slightly. Metal Gear Solid 4 remained the top selling non-bundled game for this week, but it is dropping rather quickly after a stellar debut at over 500,000 units last week. Following closely was Wii Fit which topped a million units in lifetime sales this week. Hardware sales roughly paralleled those two games - the drop in Metal Gear Solid 4 was accompanied by a large drop in PS3 sales, while the increase in Wii Fit sales accompanied a large increase in Wii sales. Year over year trends continue to indicate that this year is trending to be the biggest ever for the videogame industry in the Americas. All hardware except for the ancient PS2 was up from this time a year ago. .........6/21/08........6/23/07....YoY Change Wii....185,689.......108,739.........
