I think Kinect will actually sell consoles in Japan.

I still wouldn't want Apple to buyout Sony. With all the rumors of a Sony takeover, It might be interesting since Apple is currently doing better (financially) than Microsoft. It seems like it would only make the Playstation 3 more of a threat to Microsoft which wouldn't make XBOX 360 fanboys too happy. Here is a link to an article http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/microsoft-vs-apple-whos-winning-the-numbers-dont-lie/2504

yeah, a dead console that has sold more than all the consoles of this generation combined.

I have the following Castlevania games: Castlevania I-III, Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Castlevania: Dracula X (Wii), Castlevania: SotN, Castlevania 64, Castlevania: LoD, Castlevania CotM,Castlevania HoD, Castlevania AoS, Castlevania LoI, Castlevania CoD, Castlevania DoS, Castlevania DoS, Castlevania PoR, Castlevania OoE, and Castlevania LoS.

I like them all, but I find Dracula X to be the most painful one to play. It has great sound/ graphics and I'm glad I was finally able to get it on the Wii, but it seems to be so hard to play that it makes the old NES games seem very easy. The enemies seem to have far more of an advantage. Genesis' Bloodlines had this same type play control, but I can actually make it through all of the levels with ease.

As far as the new Castlevania LoS goes, it's fun to play and watch, however, I wished they would have continued the LoI format.

And to think, I just bought my son a spare PS2 at a thrift store for $25 with a four player adapter and game.
