A few nerdy engineers get together to play Nintendo DS over lunch and talk about video games. I started this blog thinking we'd all post to it. But now it's pretty much just "Dave's place to post about games and/or whatever tech thing I'm thinking about lately."

August sales numbers
It looks like the August sales numbers are out for the U.S. While there aren't any surprises as far as hardware goes (Wii sold 400,000+ and DS sold 380,000+), I was pretty surprised to see that Metroid Prime 3 sold 220,000 copies in the four days it was available in August. From IGN's article, MP2 didn't reach that level until it had been on the market for two weeks. I wonder how much of that has to do with MP3 being a good game and how much of it reflects the strong need for a good hardcore game on the Wii? Either way, more sales means more Metroid in the future, which is always a good thing.
