Darth Vader and Yoda announced for Soul Caliber IV

Not sure how I feel about Star Wars characters being entered into a medieval fighting tournament. Last I checked my Star Wars geek book, I believe LightSabers can cut through steel. That doesn't give the other fighters much of a chance now does it? Also notable: the PS3 version will have Vader, while the 360 version will have Yoda. Adding another layer of fuel to the console war fire. At first I thought Vader would be the "cooler" character, but if you can flip around like a bunny on crack with Yoda count me in.  

Blu-Ray pretty much wins the next format war.

Blu-Ray scored big this week with the announcement of Warner as well as a few other markets going to Blu Ray exclusive. What makes things worse, previous HD-DVD only studios will not be renewing their contract. This is very good news for Sony, who looks to gain a lot more PS3 sales due to this. Even Microsoft mentioned this week that they would consider a add-on Blu-Ray player to their 360 if the consumer demand was strong enough.

Wii-Fit sells a million in a month.

It's pretty amazing that a non-game like Wii-Fit can sell a million copies within one month in Japan, and the best Nintendo game in a decade (Super Mario Galaxy) has only reached 800k in almost 3 months. It's just further proof of the decline of "core" gamers in Japan. It will be interesting to see if the Wii-Fit craze is as popular in the US when it releases in March this year.
