Thieves have made off with over 7,000 Wii U consoles worth approximately $2.1 million.
According to ABC News, the heist took place at around 9pm on Saturday, December 15, when robbers pulled into a Seattle-based air cargo warehouse with two large trucks, and used forklifts to load them up with pallets of Wii U units.The heist went unnoticed until noon the following day when employees turned up to see empty crates where Nintendo consoles should be, says the report.
Local authorities have confirmed that the missing units were the new Wii U console, and at $300 per unit the police are dealing with a heist worth over $2 million.
"If we don't get any tips ahead of time, it will be the selling of these consoles that will lead to their capture," said a Sgt. Cindy West to ABC. "It's gonna be pretty hard to hide 7,000 Wii game consoles."
A host of new Xbox Live apps came online for Gold subscribers today, including Vimeo and AOL On. Vimeo users will have the ability to share videos through Xbox Live and Facebook, but the new app may also be preparation for the official launch of the streaming site's pay-to-view service, available to all Vimeo Pro members in early 2013. AOL On also brings its library of over 380,000 videos, including content fromHuffPost Entertainment, Reuters, CNET, Moviefone,Entertainment Tonight and yours truly. Lastly, Verizon FiOSusers will now see 75 channels on Xbox Live, including 49 new additions such as AMC HD and NFL Network. All apps can be controlled via Kinect voice and gestures, though you may need more than zombie-like reflexes to flip to the Walking Dead.
Microsoft and the United States Air Force are testing the Kinect as part of a home therapy physical suite program for injured soldiers. Microsoft will also be discussing the project with Army's Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center, according to reporting by Defense News. The Kinect hardware is partnered with Infostrat's ReMotion360 physical therapy software.
“Microsoft is committing R&D and marketing resources to ensure that the [Defense Department] community is aware of the capabilities of the product, as well as the breadth of our partner community, which includes the system integrators,” said Microsoft director of public sector solutions Phil West. “The targeted scenarios include therapy-related functions, but they also span training and simulation, interactive user interfaces, and so on.”
The project is part of Microsoft's efforts to use the Kinect outside of the consumer market, with focuses on enterprise and public sector utilization. Other defense-related organizations, including Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization, Army Medicine, the Navy's Bureau of Medicine, Lockheed Martin, SAIC and CACI, have looked at the inexpensive motion-tracking capabilities of the Kinect for different purposes.
Microsoft is also looking into using the Kinect to connect post-traumatic stress disorder sufferers with group therapy sessions.
“They can use avatars, which allows anonymity, but also allows for representatives who are therapists or licensed psychiatrists to connect with them,” West said. “Therapists can say, 'I know who you are because I have your case file. No one else in the room has to see in your face.' It gives a way to engage and talk through problems while preserving anonymity.”
It seems more than ever media outlets and commentators are keen to link violent tragedies and gaming - and sadly this week they've had more cause than usual. This morning's The Sun features the front page story 'Killer's Call of Duty Obsession', linking last week's tragic events in Connecticut, USA to gaming.According to the paper, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, who murdered more than 20 children and adults, was a Call of Duty player. It also carries a column by child psychologist Teresa Bliss, in which she claims games "can lead children to become more immune to violence and death."
Similar alleged links between the school tragedy and gaming can be found in American publications, as well as UK papers The Express and The Independent.
The reports have led clinical psychologist Chris Ferguson - an 'expert' on mass killings at Texas A&M International University - to publish a dismissal of the suggested link between the real-life tragedy and gaming.
According to Fergusson, gaming is "the wrong direction to focus on" and not a common factor among mass homicide perpetrators.
He told ABC News: "If we are serious about reducing these types of violence in our society, video game violence or other media violence issues are clearly the wrong direction to focus on.
"Video game use is just not a common factor among mass homicide perpetrators. Some have been players, others have not been."
Ferguson, who calls himself a proponent of gun control, previously came out to rubbish similar tabloid connections made between Oslo mass-murderer Anders Behring Breivik and his gaming habits.
The psychologist controversially claimed that not only were such links wrong, but they also contained elements of racism.
"I know it's a little controversial to say but there's a certain type of racism in place with these killings... When shootings happen in an inner city in minority-populated schools, video games are never brought up," he said.
"But when these things happen in white majority schools and in the suburbs, people start to freak out and video games are inevitably blamed. I think that there's a certain element of racism or ignorance here."
He added: "People really want to know what kind of boogeyman can we hang this on and video games are still the top choice when it comes to any type of tragedy."

An innovative reinvention of cult platform the Neo Geo is now on sale.
The Neo Geo X Gold Limited Edition is available from Blaze for £175 in the UK. It costs $199 in the US, although some retailers – notably Amazon – are selling it for as much as $245.
For your money you get a handheld games console packaged in a Neo Geo console style housing that also acts as a charging station. It also has composite and HDMI outputs so it can hooked up to a TV or monitor and a Neo Geo X Arcade Stick.
20 AES games come pre-loaded on the system.
Potential buyers will be hoping that the device enjoys a smoother ride than Blaze’s last handheld, the GameGadget, which shipped with crippling functionality flaws, attracted virtually no support for its content store and was eventually discounted to just £40.
A new Ofcom report reveals that the UK has taken over Japan as the world leader in mobile use.
Consumers are downloading more data on their mobiles and tablets than any other major nation, with 16 per cent of all website traffic in the UK coming from mobile devices.
Internet shopping is also more popular in the UK than any other country, reports Ofcom. UK consumers have now broken the £1,000-a-year spend barrier on internet shopping. http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/uk-cr...-usage/0108374

Games developed for the next-generation of consoles will still target a performance of 30 frames per second, claims id Software co-founder John Carmack.
Taking to Twitter, the industry veteran said he could “pretty much guarantee” developers would target the standard, rather than aiming for anything as high as 60 fps.
ID Software games such as Rage and the Call of Duty series both hit up to 60 fps, but many titles in the current generation fall short such as the likes of Battlefield 3, which runs at 30 fps on consoles.
“Unfortunately, I can pretty much guarantee that a lot of next gen games will still target 30 fps,” said Carmack.
Targeting a typical frame rate of 30 frames per second could also mean many displays of future console games will also come in at a resolution of 720p.
The latest gadget always makes its way to retailers’ top ten Christmas lists – and this year tablets and e-readers are fighting it out for the top position.
The launch of Windows 8 in October brought with it a host of new tablets and laptops. This, coupled with the first 7-inch tablet from Apple, and Samsung’s much sought-after Android tablets, makes for an overwhelming number of devices for consumers to choose between.
“Tablet sales go from strength to strength and we predict that they will be a must-have gadget for Christmas,” commented Johnathan Marsh, head of buying for electricals and home technology, John Lewis. “There is a plethora of models now available that offer different operating systems, price points and screen sizes, including the new 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 and 7.9-inch iPad mini that are highly portable.”
E-readers should do well too. Currys and PC World include Amazon’s Kindle e-reader, along with the new Kindle Fire, in its list of top ten tech gifts.
Argos, on the other hand, has dubbed Kindle rival the Nook Glow the number one gift for Christmas, while John Lewis believes the Nook Simple Touch will be the e-reader of choice for its customers.
But it’s not all just gadgets for grown- ups. Mobile devices have also made their way onto children’s wish lists.
The LeapPad2 and VTech’s Innotab both feature in Hamleys, Argos and The Entertainer’s top ten kids’ toys for Christmas.
Logically, tablet accessories should make good add-on sales this season.
Apple's device breaks three-day record in burgeoning market
Apple's iPhone 5 sold a record 2 million units in its first 3 days on sale in China.
The figure is a clear demonstration of the growing importance of the Chinese market to consumer electronics companies: the iPhone 5 sold 5 million units in 3 days when it launched in 9 countries and territories in September, yet the device sold almost half of that number in China alone.
"Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible," said Apple CEO Tim Cook in a statement. “China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products.”
In addition to China, Apple is rolling out the iPhone 5 to a further 50 countries this month, including rapidly growing markets like Brazil and Russia. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/article...in-china-debut
