Nintendo, Activision: Go for the Growing Game Cycle

VGChartz isn't perfect, but neither is NPD. I look at a wide variety of sites to get an overview of the games that are doing well. The point is, VGChartz has consistently shown Nintendo's strength, and so far they've been spot on. What are your sources?

Not All Gaming Stocks are Worth Playing

Thanks for the comments. Interesting how Spore has drawn reaction. I'm a gamer, and until it's released it's a matter of opinion at this point. Of course I could be wrong, it could be revolutionary. But what worries me is that EA needs it to be revolutionary. They have a huge investment in the game, and they expect people to create worlds and then others can visit their worlds in a completely new way (i.e. not a massive multiplayer game, but a massive single player game with a wide reach). It's a big risk, and from where I sit, the game looks silly, not revolutionary. Perhaps a Wii version will help...
