Michael Phelps gets CoD: World at War early

As if winning eighteen thousand gold medals at the Beijing Olympics wasn’t enough, swimmer Michael Phelps got a further reward for his awesomeness on last Thursday’s CBS Early Show — an early copy of Call of Duty: World at War provided by publisher Activision. But all was not as it seemed. As developer Treyarch revealed on its blog, the box Phelps was handed on live TV actually contained an I.O.U. card for the final version of the game, which is still in production. It’s not all smoke and mirrors, though — Phelps has been promised “the first disc off the production line … later this year.” We suppose that’s understandable. Michael Phelps may be amazing, but it seems even he can’t change the laws of time and space.

Xbox 360 outsells the PlayStation 3 in Japan

GameWiz — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:52:45 +0000

This time the XBox 360 has won against PS3 in terms of the number of consoles sold. “Microsoft sold 28,116 units of the Xbox 360 in the week ended August 10, compared with 10,705 units of the PS3″. We had also compared and written a post about Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3 previously. This is a big achievement for Microsoft keeping in mind that Japan is the mother country of PS3 (or Sony). People think that the uptick in Xbox 360 sales is due to the launch of Namco’s “Tales of Vesperia” (video link), a trendy role-playing game (RPG). In the past, Sony would probably have gotten an exclusive deal with Namco, but it looks like Sony isn’t ready to pay for such rights this time around. This might be interpreted as a mistake by industry watchers. I certainly think that exclusives are strategic to the success of a console. Nintendo sold 41044 Wii consoles in the same period.

NFS Undercover Gets a Release Date

Developer Black Box’s nitro button must be worn down to a nub. The studio announced today that its upcoming Need for Speed sequel, Undercover, will ship this November, pulling up to the starting line well before the 2009 release previously mentioned by EA CEO John Riccitiello.

In development for every platform under the sun (yes, even mobile phones), Need for Speed Undercover will also sport what Black Box describes as “big-budget live-action sequences” starring Balls of Fury and Mission Impossible III actress, Maggie Q, as a federal agent who recruits drivers to take down a criminal syndicate. While recent Need for Speed racers have all but siphoned our tanks of what enthusiasm we once had for the series, those who care can look forward to race with Ms. Q in North America on November 18 and in Europe on November 21.
