Very encouraging, the console game biz must be doing all right.

I was just going to post on this.

Nice to see Ubi has a good ad budget. Waiting for SH5 ads...

Personally I can't seem to care about "lol nerd self-identification" from little more than increased levels of obnoxious advertising. Wow soooo out there right? Games must be the new media because they got a superbowl commercial.

PARTY games are popular. Guitar Hero, Halo, stuff like that. The kind of games WE like, such as Distant Guns and Silent hunter, good luck ever seeing THEM get so much as placard on Best Buy's front door.
