    SEGA has released the final box art for the March 2008 release of Viking: Battle for Asgard. See the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 cover art below.

    About the game: "Viking: Battle for Asgard thrusts players into a twisted mythological world overrun with demonic warriors unleashed by Hel, the Norse goddess of death. As Skarin, a rage-fueled Viking hero, players will wage all-out war to free mankind from the grip of evil and ultimate annihilation. Enemies will suffer graphic dismemberment with disturbing realism from an array of Skarin's melee, range and magic attacks. Upgradable combat skills and Skarin's otherworldly abilities create an ever-changing landscape of epic violence and heroic victory."

    Climb-down on figures as fiscal results announced

    NEWS: 31 January 2008 13:42 GMT - Sony has announced it has cut its PlayStation 3 sales target for the year to March 2008 to 9.5 million units from their predicted figure of 11 million.

    This climb-down on the sales figures is in strong contrast to their stance at the Tokyo Games Show last September.

    Sony Computer Entertainment president Kazuo Hirai said, in his keynote speech at the event, that he believed the company would achieve its predicted sales target of selling 11 million units before the end of the fiscal year in March.

    Worldwide, Sony sold 4.9 million units of the PS3 between October and December.

    Sony has raised its PSP sales target for the current business year to 13 million units from 10. Third quarter sales were up by 1.1 million units to 5.8 million, although game sales dropped.

    Sales of the PlayStation 2 dropped by 1.35 million compared to the same period of last year, but beating predictions, it outsold the PS3 with over 5 million units bought worldwide.

    Overall sales and revenue were up 9.6%, but the gaming division is still in the red - and expects to stay that way for some time to come due to losses made on the PS3.

    "We have reduced losses on the PS3 due to production cost-savings but don't expect the game division to become profitable until the second half of the next fiscal year," a Sony spokesperson said. ...

    Black for the boys, pink for the girls, I presume.

    Haven’t these multi-coloured Wii-motes already been released? I’m sure I spotted that lipstick pink one in my wife’s bedroom drawer the other day.

    Well, Sunflex Europe claim that their new range of snakebite Riimotes, will be released in the UK of February 8th and will include a glossy black Wii-mote and the aforementioned lipstick pink one.

    The controllers will be wireless and will come with a strap and matching non-slip rubber sleeves.

    The company will also be releasing a snakebyte Nunchaku, a Wireless Nunchaku, and a retro Controller in the spring. You may be delighted to know that they’ll also come in a range of pretty colours. Black for the boys, pink for the girls, I presume.

    Sony hit the black, but lower sales forecast

    Sony’s third-quarter results are in and spurred on by software sales for the Playstation 3, the electronics giant has reported a 31.2% increase in sales for their games division.

    However, good news is followed by bad, because despite the reduction in the cost of producing the PS3 and the recent upsurge in sales, the company has decided to drop their sales forecast for the console in the lead up to March by 1.5 million units, bringing their estimation to 9.5 million.

    "Sales of the PS3 have been robust since the introduction of the new model. We are receiving strong feedback and feeling very confident going forward," said Oneda.

    "However, the momentum is not enough to cover the sluggishness we saw in the first half. So we have decided to change the sales target for the PS3," he said.

    Sony are hoping to fair better with the PSP, which is still selling strong, and subsequently have raised their sales target for the current business year to 13 million units from 10 million.

    A newspaper report suggests that in North America approximately 90 percent of DS gamers are now using the notorious R4 piracy chip to get their illegal fix of hand-held gaming.

    “The implications are massive. In America it's thought 90 percent of Nintendo users are playing pirated games because of R4,” explained John Hillier, Manager of ELSPA's Intellectual Property Crime Unit in an interview with the Sunday Post.

    The Sunday Post also contains a report about the situation in Scotland where it’s believed the chip is sold for approximately £40 from various websites and traders. The Entertainment & Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) say that the chip “gets around the protection built into the Nintendo DS to prevent playing of unauthorized games. The R4 in effect blinds the console and makes it think it's seeing a genuine game. Trading standards and police are finding these devices in raids on people who sell pirated games.”

    Hillier told the newspaper that the offence for selling these chips could lead to up to two years in jail or an unlimited fine.

    ELSPA say that the R4 chip has devastating consequences on the gaming industry, that’s despite Nintendo reporting record software sales recently with 5 million units sold of Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? 2.8 million units sold of More Brain Training From Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain? And Nintendogs recently hitting the 8 million mark.

    “That's the real danger – you may think you're getting a good deal but using the R4 is risking the future of the games industry," concluded Hillier.
