Hey, it may be a little guy (with its iddle-widdle screen and adorable itsy-bitsy buttons), but the Nintendo DS packs quite the punch. After tabulating the sales figures for 2010, Nintendo recently announced that the Wii had sold 34 million consoles since its launch. Impressive, you say. Very impressive. But the Nintendo DS trounces the Wii's moment of glory with nearly 50 million clamshells sold ...

When there's a will for a hideous piece of skin art, there's a way. A detainee at Brook House Immigration Removal Centre in West Sussex, Britain was recently caught with one of the most inventive PlayStation hacks we've ever seen. After gutting the console, the prisoner attached the motor to a ballpoint pen with a sharpened tip. Et voilà! A DIY tattoo machine! Sadly, the prisoner's gadget ...

Girls can, like, totally rock now, but they've had to use boy-aimed guitar peripherals when playing games like 'Rock Band.'

This was a cost-cutting measure to get that system's price down, but it seems Sony isn't quite done re-tooling its console hardware just yet. Today they announced a new, more efficient PS2 model. This new model will share the same ...

Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo are all engaged in a beat-down, drag-out fight for next-gen console supremacy with the PlayStation 3 (PS3), Xbox 360, and Wii, respectively. Even though the Xbox 360 leads in overall sales among the three new consoles (thanks to coming out almost a year before the others), it's the Nintendo Wii that is currently outselling the rest by a wide margin and is poised to ...

Finally some good news for Sony: U.S. sales of the PlayStation 3 console rose by 21% in June and Sony itself has reported that the recent $100 price cut on the 60 GB model has resulted in a 135% sales increase over the past two weeks. Of course, while more sales are (almost) always a good thing, it should also be noted that Sony is still trailing both of its rivals by a significant margin: Even ...
