The humongous DSi LL continues its streak of domination by gigantic proportions over the Japanese hardware sales charts, and really, the rest of the participants in this console race can only hope to get an inch closer to the number of units the LL has sold. Granted, there was a dip in its performance, dropping some 33.13% from last week, it doesn't change the fact that it's still the one on top. November 23-29,2009 hardware sales charts results after the jump.

 

 

It's quite a measly serving of games this week compared to the past couple of weeks where we saw a steady downpour of releases. Not to worry, though. We take this part of the month as the short calm before the harried frenzy of the Christmas storm begins yet again. Of course, it helps too that the line-up isn't all that bad. Check out the full release list for this serving of On Shelves This Week at the full article.

 

 

 

For the past few years, Crystal Dynamics has been pretty much synonymous with the Tomb Raider franchise, so when they talk about a new AAA title in development at the studio the name "Lara Croft" immediately comes to mind. While a new Tomb Raider seems a foregone conclusion, it seems Crystal Dynamics may be bringing something new to the table.

A Brazilian senator is putting "offensive" videogames on the chopping block through a bill that spells imprisonment for those caught making, importing, or distrubuting such games in Brazil. More details after the jump.

The guy's face, physique, and last name may change, but since Final Fantasy II, every major Final Fantasy title has featured a guy named Cid. Final Fantasy XIII's Cid is a departure from the predominantly older versions of the character, appearing as a young soldier instead.

Thanksgiving was a boon for Sony this year. The PS3 console managed to move almost 500,000 units during Thanksgiving week. Add that to the sales generated by the Slim and the price cut a couple of months ago and some nice new titles like Uncharted 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 and we have one great way to celebrate the PlayStation brand's 15th anniversary. Hit the jump to see what went on in our PlayStation 3 blog during anniversary week.

Slipknot and Simon & Garfunkel may be too far on both sides of the spectrum, so why not go for somewhere in between? Three more tracks from Green Day are hitchin' a ride into Rock Band soon, in case you love those basket cases.

Atlus certainly beefing up the workforce. The publisher was spotted hiring PS3-Xbox 360 programmers back in October, and now they're in "mass-recruitment" for debuggers. Clearly, they have a lot of stuff to debug, duh. Maybe the PS3-Xbox 360 programming didn't go so hot? I sure hope not.
