Cute, but no thanks..Somewhat dazed and confused about what to pick up for that special girl in your life? We already helped you out on what games to buy for your little sisters, so why stop there when you need all the help you can get.

Xbox recently asked GamerchiX to do a sorta public service for the guys for them to have a clue as to what to gift they should give for their gamer (or wannabe gamer) girlfriends. There were lots of responses which range from the uber expensive (diamonds) to the somewhat sappy (a puppy).

Among the oh-so-many answers to that question, there were nine items that most girls would want to receive from their respective special someones. Well, here they are.
  1. Xbox 360 Wireless Headset
  2. Microsoft Points
  3. Subscription to Xbox Live
  4. Gift Certificates to EBGames or GameStop
  5. Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel
  6. DS Lite
  7. Nintendo Wii
  8. Candles
  9. Spa gift certificates
If there are gifts to get, there are also gifts that you shouldn't get. The not-to-get list includes from lingerie (don't dabble on anything that has to do with sizes, unless you want trouble), stuffed animals, crappy clothes, a scale or a gym membership (unless you're the masochistic type or something) among many others.

Xbox asked them to? A console asked people to do something? What a country!



Anyway, it's interesting to see two Nintendo products listed on this Microsoft-sponsored initiative. No judgement being passed here, just making an observation.

Completly off topic here but this is intresting, this is the amount of consoles surposedly sold in 24 hours. It is 8:30pm here when i calculated this:



Xbox360: 8,066,083

Playstation 3: 384,670

Nintendo Wii: 1,206,713



After A Minute



Xbox360: 8,066,120

Playstation 3: 384,675

Nintendo Wii: 1,206,727



Each Company Sells The Following Amount Of Consoles In A Minute:



Xbox 360: 37

Playstation 3: 5

Nintendo Wii: 14



So by tommorow At 8:30pm this many consoles will have been sold:



Xbox360: 53280

Playstation 3: 7200

Nintendo Wii: 20160



This brings this total number of consoles sold at roughly 8:30pm tommorrow at:



Xbox 360: 8119400

Playstation 3: 391875

Nintendo Wii: 1226887



These Figures are based on the website http://nexgenwars.com/



These figures do not quite match the figures that have been released from many companies. If anything these results seems biased towards to xbox360 in my personal opinion. As I highly doubt with the release of both the Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii that Microsft will be selling 37 console a minute and 53280 consoles every 24 hours whereas Nintendo only sells 14 consoles a minute and 20160 every 24 hours.
