...another month on top for the Wii in the US.
The Wii was selling 259,000 units. Xbox 360 U.S. unit sales were
199,000 in March and Sony's PlayStation 3 unit sales of 130,000. PlayStation 2 is still seeing strong sales with 280,000 units. Still ahead of the Xbox 360.
So PS3 is picking up a bit, but still underperforming against the 360 and Wii. Many people predict the Wii sales will slow once the 'gimmick' dies out, but if new games continue to use the Wii Remote in inventive ways and Nintendo keep appealing to new audiences, it should be able to hold its own, even if it slips out of first place. However, there doesn't seen to be any danger of this at present.
The PS3 will no doubt pick up sales once Sony get their act together and release some decent exclusive titles (or drop the price of the console a bit more).

Yep, but Ubi have been doing that since Rainbow Six on the Xbox. At-least now they (and activision) have put in a 'match my packages' option into the games searches to help people out. I think people with the content can join the games of those who don't have the content but not vice-versa.
So the best way to get around content problems on Ubi games is to host the game yourself. Not helpful for 16+ matches with your friends but good enough for terrorist hunts etc. :)

I wish I had 800 points worth of money to use each week!

Sony's Phil Harrison gets pwned.
I'm not explaining it anymore than that: just read it, it's funny.
