These franchises were chosen by the voting of gamers.

“We decided to take a different approach with this list than we did in the previous edition,”  said  aGuinness World Records’ spokesperson in a statement. “Instead of asking developers, industry insiders and journalists to rank their favorite titles, we approached a different kind of expert: the players themselves! We are confident that this ‘top 50′ more accurately reflects the tastes of the average gamer and not just the critics.”

The release date that has been set for this game is in this June on June 8th, 2010. In this game, which is published by Konami, you will try to preserve peace in the nation without a military.

Here is a preview that was given to the game:

“I have gotten into the habit of walking into game previews completely blind as of late. Call it tunnel vision, call it too much attention to games when they’re done and sent to me with a shiny plastic case, but I have not been keeping up with Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker as much as my compatriots, and only made slight headway through the downloadable demo. But that did not stop me from attending Konami’s Peace Walker themed “Boot Camp” a few weeks back in San Francisco. Boy, was I in for a surprise.”

Be sure to look into more details about this game as the release date comes closer and closer.

There are many prospected games that a lot of people are looking forward to playing. Games will be released for the Nintendo DS, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Wii and Xbox 360.

The games that a lot of people have been anticipating are as follows:

The PlayStation Portable had a very good year.

There were also some big games that returned with sequels in this year including games like Final Fantasy, Patapon and LocoRoco. One thing that a lot of people really like about the PlayStation Portable is that it can be picked up and played anywhere at any time. This is one thing that really draws a lot of people in to it and the excellent quality and variety of games keeps them attatched to it.

]]> http://ltngamers.com/12/26/psp-best-of-2009-awards/feed/ 0 November Hardware and Software Sales http://ltngamers.com/12/10/november-hardware-and-software-sales/ http://ltngamers.com/12/10/november-hardware-and-software-sales/#comments Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:37:43 +0000 LTNChica http://ltngamers.com/?p=403 The following are the hardware sales from the month of November:
  • DS — 1.70M
  • Wii — 1.26M
  • Xbox 360 — 819,500
  • PlayStation 3 — 710,400
  • PSP — 293,900
  • PlayStation 2 — 203,100

Because of the Christmas season, I think that the hardware sales are going to steadily increase for a little while as there are probably a lot of kids with these consoles on their Christmas list.

“All hardware systems realized an increase over October but one would expect that from seasonality alone,” said Group analyst Anita Frazier. “More positive economic news combined with ‘frugal fatigue’ could positively impact industry sales during these last weeks of the holiday season.”
Here are the software sales from the month of November:

  1. 360 – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Activision, 4.20M
  2. PS3 – Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Activision, 1.87M
  3. Wii – New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Nintendo, 1.39M
  4. 360 – Assassin’s Creed II, Ubisoft, 794,700
  5. 360 – Left 4 Dead 2, Electronic Arts, 744,000
  6. Wii – Wii Sports Resort, Nintendo, 720,200
  7. Wii – Wii Fit Plus, Nintendo, 679,000
  8. PS3 – Assassin’ Creed II, Ubisoft, 448,400
  9. 360 – Dragon Age: Origins, Electronic Arts, 362,100
  10. Wii – Mario Kart w/ Wheel, Nintendo, 315,000

It comes as no surprise to any one which game was going to come out on top.

“While this year’s top-selling item bested last year’s by 283%, it couldn’t make up for softness elsewhere,” said Frazier. “The top 50 games this year sold 5% less units than did the top 50 last year.”
