South Africa the most popular gap year destination
Research from Year Out Group shows that South Africa, followed by Canada and Kenya, is now the most popular country for structured gap year placements.
It seems that Sony has messed up and Microsoft is going to take the industry away from them while Nintendo does its own thing.

The problem is the numbers you talk about are shipped to shop figures? If you look on the high street it’s not sold out and shops are beginning to worry because they still have them! Plus most of the ones that have been sold are now on Ebay, where they seem to be selling for less then the price they where purchased at!

The funny part about that is both Nintendo and Microsoft had far less consoles available during their launches in the UK. I also love the news that Sony is out pacing the 360's launch figures. Too bad they are not beating the current sales numbers meaning that Microsoft not only has a larger install base (well over 10 million) but that they are still growing the gap between the two. Now factor in the 360's attach ratio which is changing the minds of developers when it comes to multi-platforming their games. DMC4, Armored Core 4, Ace combat, Assassins Creed, Merc 2, VF 5, and so on while Microsoft’s has IPs like GOW, Mass Effect, Kane and Lynch, Halo 3, Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Bioshock.
