Though the November NPD sales report won't be released until later this week, gaming industry analyst (and possible soothsayer) Michael Pachter has predicted November's biggest players in the gaming hardware and software markets. Unsurprisingly, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the highlighted title in his report -- not only does the report claim the game sold around 6 million units last month in the U.S. (for about $350 million), it credits the game with pulling the industry out of a downward spiral that it's followed for seven of the past eight months.

The report also awards a large gold-star sticker to the PlayStation 3, which is predicted to have sold 700,000 units in November, an 85-percent year-over-year sales increase. Despite the two upswings, Pachter's report ends on a decidedly dour note, stating, "as 2009 draws to an end, it is clear that it will end as a horrible year for video game publishers." Pachter suggests that sales will drop off once more in December. Happy holidays, gaming industry professionals!

Several sources have shared the news that "Google Goggles," publicly known as Google Visual Search, will be "coming soon" to an Android phone near you. Rather than typing in the search term, you will be able to just take a picture with your phone and search results will be returned. The new search was recently featured on CNBC's "Inside the Mind of Google." Unfortunately Goggles didn't pass muster with a recent focus group, so it could be a while before Google decides this is ready to hit the streets.

Konami has begun the process of vetting the Pro Evolution Soccer fanbase about what they consider Konami should be concentrating on as it gets to work on next year’s PES 2011.
The questions touch on subjects such as graphics, gameplay, licenses and editing – and fanboys should take note of the final questions probing user’s on the likelihood of their buying wither FIFA 11 or PES 2011.
“By now you should know how committed the Konami team is to getting your feedback and considering your requests for future versions of our game,” series producer Shingo ‘Seabass’ Takatsuka stated.
“We're about to start that process all over again with the release of an online questionnaire. Remember the more useful info we can get from you, the better PES will become. Anything that can't be included into the next version will be considered for future versions.
“As executive producer I've got plenty of ideas I'm already working on, but believe me your feedback, both as football fans and PES fans, is crucial.”

Check out the feedback form here.
