News from Next-gen.com:

Activision predicts that the Wii will continue to dominate in 2008 selling somewhere over 6 million units.  The xbox360 will be second with somewhere between 4-5 million, while the PS3 stays behind at 3-4 million.

I think that the Wii will continue to do well, but perhaps they are giving the PS3 a little less credit than it deserves.  It is a very powerful system, and now with Blu-Ray winning the format war maybe things will pick up a bit for Sony.  Then again, Microsoft may adopt the format.  It will be an interesting year.  Glad to be a part of it.

News from Kotaku:

It is rumored that Everyone’s Nintendo Channel will be hitting the US within the next few months. It will be cool to see what they have in store for us. All we know so far is that it lets us download videos, interviews and best of all DS demos.

This is still in the rumor stage, but I am really looking forward to downloading DS demos.

News from Ars Technica:

Bionic Commando producer Ben Judd was asked if Capcom had noticed the quickly growing Bionic Commando petition, now with over 13,000 signatures.  He responded that Capcom has in fact taken notice and that they are happy to hear that Wii owners are interested in the game.

Don’t get too excited yet guys, he said that even if Capcom were to immediately start work on the game, we would not see a release for at least a year.

News from Kotaku:

No surprise there.  Resident Evil is an established franchise on the most popular system of the year sold over 950,000 copies.  Zack & Wiki is a game that was released with almost zero advertising sold 300,00o…still not too bad, but Capcom could have helped push the sales of that game with a few well-made commercials.  Here is to hoping we have a new Capcom franchise on our hands.
