We’ve obviously gone through the rabbit hole: Motorola’s income reaches positive figures while Nintendo turn around and report slashed profits. After a healthy last quarter, the Japanese gaming giant has announced a drop in interim net profits from 144.83 billion yen this time last year to just 69.49 billion yen this past six months, with a 43-percent drop in Wii sales.
In fact the company only sold 5.75m Wii consoles, while handheld console sales also fell by 15-percent despite the launch of the DSi in Europe and the US.

Rockband, the popular alternative to the Guitar Hero series which was first to incorporate a microphone and drums along with just the standard guitar, is now releasing a new version themed around the Beatles.

The game’s intuitive control system, as well as the many levels of difficulty will also make the transition for those who are not typically gamers to jump right in and enjoy classics such as Yellow Submarine.
