Banzaii - The blog of online games and games of Jorge Mediavilla

Do you know the answer? Surely not, because it was the survey question that has been active the last 20 days in the blog and the results do not reflect reality. In general we have no idea of ​​how the console war in Spain because the picture is completely different from the rest of the world (yes, again Spain is different).

While the rest of the world sweeps followed by Wii and PS3 Xbox is in last place, here the situation is exactly the opposite. We did not make ends meet, or so they say in the polls, but the PS3 has sold 600 euros fine and console leader in Spain despite the many and repeated gaffes that have been involved.

Christian has summarized the situation well in Spain consoles at this point in his article The Console War 2 :

Spain is a country particularly difficult for Microsoft. The original Xbox failed almost market share and Xbox 360 is having some more success, but the output of PlayStation 3 and Wii have been a blow to Microsoft's console. Their numbers are around 240,000 units according to different studies and their sales this Christmas are not very hopeful, with ratios of 1 to 5 for Wii and 1 to 8 with Playstation 3. And all this despite an excellent catalog and an aggressive advertising campaign on television and mainstream media. It will be difficult to change the situation in our country, where remains synonymous Playstation console.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 is a pufo, as confirmed by the survey of the blog, which has received a whopping 14 votes. Half of the votes have been for the "Now I prefer FIFA 08", which means that this year more people perceive the progress of FIFA or EA community managers regularly visit my blog.

The people have not realized (the game is still selling like hotcakes and is number one in the charts), but the fact is that the arrival of the new generation has been sitting pretty bad, as acknowledged by the "Seabass "Konami, who thinks they could have done a much better job.

My next survey is to know what you think is the console that is winning in Spain according to your intuition. You can find it on the right.

PS: Sorry for that has been something missing, but I've been busy, busy understood to be the limit with Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect and now flush with Orange box.

And now I leave you with a couple of videos of ESP failures:

My last poll question was whether it is true that the Wii is purchased then used a lot but little else, which is what happens to me. Most (7) have voted to have just bought and played, perhaps due to lack of games so far, or because they have other more powerful console they prefer to play. Games very little or quite another 6 voters say while playing every single day have been 4.

After accusations of lack of catalog, Nintendo has produced a good offense this Christmas thanks to games already on the street like Mario Galaxy or Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and others who are about to appear as Mario and Sonic at the Olympics Olympics. What appears is that there is not much beyond these major releases of Nintendo themselves.

The results of my humble second survey have not been very significant this time. To the question, not biased, of "What is the greatest failure of Halo3?" Responded 12 people. Four of the twelve users who responded think that the graphics were not as good, 3 others think the single player mode is too short, 2 did not learn well the script and another 4 to confession unconditional voting they liked everything Halo 3.

I, as author of the survey, I can confess that I think the graphics are not as good, the game is quite short and that the script is not very clear on not having a good introduction cinematic. I think they are failures that do not allow more than 8 or 8.5 of final mark to the game, but many media outlets have given up to ten.

My new poll reflects one of the topics that have been debated in recent days. The Wii is innovative and has triumphed. Nobody doubts that. However, the catalog of games is low, is too controlled by Nintendo, aimed at public too casual and minor ... If you have a Wii ... Confess! Do you play a lot or little? Are you collecting dust? When was the last time you connected to the Internet with it?

I, but are not very influential, I will say that mine has a finger and dust after the novelty of Wii Sports supposed Wii Edition and Resident Evil.

In the right column can vote.
