A shock to some, the Xbox 360 has been crowned the most used video game console as of right now. With a hardcore game market like no other console I wouldn't be suprised if the other consoles were left in the dust.
Nielsen has released the latest State of the Video Gamer report, revealing PC and video game console usage. Based on data from the fourth quarter of 2008, the report has revealed that the PlayStation 2 still leads all other consoles in total minutes of usage, but it continues to have the highest downward trending rate of usage. Nielsen suggests that by the end of 2009, the PlayStation 2 will no longer be the most used console in the United States.
When it comes to the new systems, the Xbox 360 surpasses the Wii and the PlayStation 3, with Sony's Blu-ray Disc system performing almost as well as Microsoft's system. The reports revealed that PlayStation 3 users are older than users of any other console tracked, while the Nintendo Wii has the youngest demographic.
This partially explains why the Wii users have the fewest average usage days and the shortest daily average number of sessions. Even the Playstation 2 and Xbox are reported to be used more often by consumers than the Nintendo Wii.

Dash Text: [ESRB: M (Mature) BLOOD AND GORE,MILD LANGUAGE,VIOLENCE] The long-awaited Mythic Map Pack drops into Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Investigate Orbital’s abandoned hallways - before it was evacuated, the Quito Space Tether was heralded as the “Civil Engineering Monument of the Millennium.” Witness Assembly, where Scarab hulls loom overhead, being decontaminated in preparation for the city-sized Lekgolo colonies that will breathe life into the massive metal husks. An excavation site surrounded by deadly Forerunner defenses, the mysteries of Sandbox are hidden high above, deep below, and right before your eyes.
I gave this a try myself and while it wont tell you anything about the game it is a really cool looking set up, yes you can hop on youtube and see it in a video but it in no way is as cool as doing it on your own.
VG247.com reports: Go to the Assassin’s Creed 2 teaser site. Watch the video. Click on the big symbol at the end. Print off the PDF. Click on the red “Animus” symbol to the left of the screen next to the original symbol. Click on the top box on the left. Hold up the printed symbol in front of your webcam.
What happens is honestly pretty cool. Do it.
If you don't want to print anything just open a second window with the PDF pic in one window and point the cam at that.
If you have an Xbox vision cam it will work just fine for this.
Looks like massively.com had a chance to talk with Funcom about there new game The Secret World, i must say that the interview has a pile of details in it but there is no need for all the words when the trailer sums it up so well.
If you've been waiting for a chance to see what lies beyond the curtain and fall into the elegantly dark setting of The Secret World, then get ready for your first glimpse of what lurks beyond. At the GDC we got the chance to sit down and discuss The Secret World with Funcom and lay our eyes on a few cinematics of the game.
While we were unable to get our hands around a playable version of the title, we were treated to many of the game's basics and concepts. This may not be the tidal wave of information, but it is a start to the flow of The Secret World's river of fresh ideas.
What lies after the break is an explanation of what the game is all about, followed by the first cinematic of The Secret World that we've been allowed to release. Later in the hour, we'll be posting our interview with Ragnar Tørnquist, the game's creator. So stick with us as we lead you through our peek of TSW.
