This week’s podcast is kind of boring, since there’s little to talk about, but Jonah and Scott are game. Most of the entertainment comes from Scott talking about his Fallout 4 adventures.

This week’s news includes:

  • Sony wants to trademark the term ‘Let’s Play’
  • Star Wars open world game Kickstarter proposal canceled
  • OculusVR founder claims Rift selling at $599 is “obscenely cheap
  • Pirated games may cease to exist in two years thanks to Denuvo

This week we’ve got Doug aboard with the cast as well, he’s a regular on the Everyday Drinkers Podcast.

This week’s gaming flashback includes Baseball Stars for the Nintendo Entertainment system and, in our gaming history… who is Jane Jensen?

This week’s question of the week is simple: Do video game delays effect your buying decisions?

Xbox 360 Japan Sales Drop, PS3 Sales CrappyXbox 360 Japan Sales Drop, PS3 Sales Crappy

The Xbox 360 saw a huge jump last week with Tales of Vesperia from Namco Bandai, but has dropped back down to normal sales (about none). Some are saying it’s mainly because of a short supply as the 360 sold out in Japan as a result of Tales of Vesperia.

In other news, the PlayStation 3 still isn’t selling very well, a bit more than the PlayStation 2 but nothing like the PSP. The DS holds the record yet again, no surprise there, but we always though the 360 was losing to the Wii and PS3. Although the Wii isn’t doing bad it’s not at the same crazy sales pace it is here in the United States.

The drop in sales for the 360 was fast, hopefully it was indeed due to out-of-stock issues, else that drop was faster than the drops we’ve seen here for GTA IV or MGS4!
