Someone tell me which Need for Speed games are the good ones for this gen (like from the last 4 years).

I promise to make a list and not ask ever again.

Anyone know the lifetime sales to date of the Wii U (global)?

Nintendo hasn't said anything official. But doing some math:

  • 4 million last year
  • 350K worldwide prior to holidays
  • 250K in November in US
  • 310K in Japan in December

So that leaves just a couple holes for the European holidays and US in December. Combined I doubt it's more than 500K. So worldwide, we're probably looking at 6 millions units? Just another 3 million until it catches the Saturn!

I hated that game, and deleted it off my PS3. Open-world racers are not for me, especially ones with awful music.

Never played it. Never wanted to either. I wanted Excite Truck 2, but was given an extremely lame semi-sequel instead. Bleh.

*sigh* The vastly underrated Sega Saturn. My favorite console of the 5th gen. It deserved better. I had just over 50 games for it during it's lifetime, and it was the first console I ever imported games to play.

I really dug the Saturn. I was a much bigger Sega fan than I ever was a Nintendo fan. Much bigger. That's primarily because I absolutely loved Sega's 80s and 90's arcade games. I bought my Saturn when it first hit $299, along with Daytona USA, Panzer Dragoon, and Virtua Fighter Remix. If it was a Sega or Capcom arcade game, I bought it. I even imported Vampire Savior, Street Fighter Zero 3, X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, and King of FIghers '97 along with a 4Mb RAM/region lockout bypass cartridge. I also pre-ordered the only copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga that my local Babbage's had recieved, much to the disappointment of the asshole clerk who tried to tell me he had aready sold it despite me having pre-paid for it in full months in advance; he quickly changed his story when I asked to talk with the manager with my reciept in my hand, lol. Ah, the good ol'e days.

Sega were assholes. They released it four months early, and I was broke after having just fixed my POS truck. Sad They dropped that price quick when PS1 came out, though. LOL

Oculus Rift wins Official Best of CES award!

http://www.engadget.com/2014/01/09/the-oculus-rift-crystal-cove-prototype-is-2014s-best-of-c/

'Of all the exciting, innovative products we've seen at CES this year, the Oculus Rift "Crystal Cove" prototype is unquestionably the best of the best.'

...

'The Crystal Cove version's 1080p OLED display is amazingly sharp and bright. However, what really sets it apart is its positional-tracking capabilities, accomplished thanks to an array of sensors mounted around the edges of the unit, which are monitored by an external camera. It's no longer just your head that controls movement; lean forward or back, and the virtual environment moves in sync, providing an unparalleled, fully immersive experience. Use the new Rift for a few minutes, and you may never want to take it off; at the very least, it may change the way you think about gaming, and make that 55-inch TV hooked up to your console feel small and constricting. When I tried it out here at CES, in an all-too-brief demo session, I didn't want to take it off, and only reluctantly returned it to the Oculus execs helping with the demo.'

...

'Virtual reality, says Mitchell, is a "new disruptive medium that can revolutionize the way we do a lot more than just games." Forbes is already referring to the way businesses are looking to capitalize on VR as the "Oculus Rift effect."'

This is all the same hyperbole we've heard before about 3D and motion controls and virtual reality. And the same reaction to people pointing this out remains as well (yeah, but it's different this time: I've used those gimmicky pieces of crap; this is the real deal).

This doesn't mean the Occulus Rift won't be revolutionary, but everything said about it thus far has been said before about nothing important time and time again as people get excited over nothing.
