Uncharted 2: Among Thieves has been well-received in all quarters. Well, except for by Xbox 360 owners eager to pee on any PS3 exclusive that comes along, no matter how good it may be. But it seems not everyone is so enamored with some aspects of the game, with a possible backlash beginning with a rant about the lackluster storyline.

It doesn’t seem to matter how successful the Wii is but analysts and industry watchers consider there to be something missing. Which is why these same people have been talking about the possibility of a Wii HD or Wii 2 coming out in the near future seemingly forever. However, there is no new Wii on the way, at least according to Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime.

If a game on any system is a big hit it usually means a sequel is guaranteed. But that may not be the case with LittleBigPlanet, with the community aspects meaning a LittleBigPlanet 2 may actually be counterproductive. At least according to its developer Media Molecule.

I hate seeing a genre of game milked until its teats shrivel up and die. And that’s exactly what is happening to the guitar/band-based rhythm-action games right now.

Rumors of a follow-up to the Wii have been coming thick and fast almost as long as the original Wii has been out. Nintendo has never admitted the new hardware exists but reports of a Wii 2 or Wii HD being in development have persisted. And now there’s a new one, with the ‘Wii2′ supposedly set to be released worldwide late in 2010. Possibly.

The PS2 has just celebrated its ninth birthday in the United States, with it originally being released on Oct. 26, 2000. Sony has often spoken of a 10-year life cycle for the console so does this mean the Playstation 2 has but a year left before being put out to pasture? Not at all.
