Nintendo represents 58% of all video game hardware...

Nintendo rules March console hardware sales!

It’s business as usual for Nintendo, once again sitting atop the console hardware sales charts.

The NPD Group has released its retail findings for March, revealing that Nintendo has sold a staggering 721,000 Wii console for the month – no doubt selling every unit to hit store shelves. To further add to the regular demand, the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl has Nintendo fans in a frenzy.
The Nintendo DS carries on with strong, unwavering sales at 698,000 units sold, just behind the Wii.

“Nintendo systems represented 58 percent of all video game hardware sold in March in the United States,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing. “We expect our momentum to continue with big upcoming game launches like Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit.”

Sony’s handheld took a distant, but still respectable third spot with the PSP selling 297,000 units. The success of the PSP during March is likely attributed to the release of God of War: Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII for the portable.

Microsoft was finally able to pull ahead of the PlayStation 3 after being behind for the first two months of 2008. The Xbox 360 sold 262,000 units, perhaps as a sign of supplies finally being replenished at retailers.

“Going into March, some key U.S. retailers were still experiencing the trickle down effect of Xbox 360 console shortages,” Microsoft said in a statement. “By the end of March, supply issues had improved and we expect retailers to be fully stocked with Xbox 360 consoles in time for the "Grand Theft Auto IV" launch.”

The PlayStation 3 held its position over the previous-generation counterpart, selling 257,000 consoles. The PlayStation 2 sat in sixth with a still relevant 216,000 units sold.
"Our sales momentum continues to defy what is traditionally a sluggish sales month. PS3 continued the strong momentum with a year-over-year sales growth of over 98 percent. It is proof that, in these economically challenging times, consumers recognize the long-term value of our platforms and the tremendous heritage of our brand in delivering the best entertainment experience,” commented Jack Tretton, CEO of SCEA.

Overclockers push Quad-Core Skulltrail QX9775 to 6GHz without damage

Core 2 "Extreme" lives up to it's name

When OC Team Italy took a Pentium 4 to 8GHz without a meltdown, many were suprised that the Pentium 4, at the time being dominated by AMD's Athlon processors, was able to hit the 8GHz mark. Now it's the other way around. Intel has it's foot cemented in the performance CPU market with it's "Core" series, and "K|ngp|n" has pushed Intel's performance to the max, overclocking Intel's Quad-Core Skulltrail QX9775 to a whopping 6GHz. Not only did he push the clock speed to the limit, but he also overclocked the Front Side Bus to 1,716MHz, another feat. Though the CPU would not be able to hold this clock speed for this long, it goes to show that Intel is serious with their Performance CPUs now. This feat doesn't come free though, consuming a power level of 1.953-volts.

'Milkshake murder' suspect returns to Hong Kong court

HONG KONG — An American woman serving a life sentence in Hong Kong returned to court today to appeal her murder conviction for bashing her banker husband to death after spiking his milkshake with a sedative.

Nancy Kissel's attempt to overturn the verdict in what became known as the "milkshake murder" would reopen a sensational trial in a case involving alleged sexual abuse, cocaine and adultery.

Kissel was found guilty of murder after a three-month trial in 2005 for the death of her husband on Nov. 2, 2003.

During her trial, Kissel, a native of the U.S. state of Minnesota, said she killed her husband in self-defense because he was wielding a baseball bat.

Dressed in black as she had been for much of her trial, Kissel appeared fragile today. She was supported by others as she entered the court room and sat down.

Taking notes extensively, she was composed during most of today's hearing, but burst into tears when she talked to her parents, brother and relatives during a break.

Defense attorney Gerard McCoy said Kissel's appeal will be based on the argument of self-defense and provocation.

McCoy said the judge in Kissel's trial, High Court Judge Michael Victor Lunn, gave jurors confusing instructions on the definition of self-defense.

"There has been a degree of unfairness that impaired the safety of the verdict," McCoy told the court.

He also argued Lunn summarized the case quickly so that jurors may have lost their concentration, but the appeals court rejected McCoy's request to present evidence supporting that argument.

Prosecutors said Kissel's husband Robert, an investment banker for Merrill Lynch, found out his wife was having an affair and had planned to seek a divorce just before she killed him.

She drugged him using a milkshake laced with the "date-rape drug" Rohypnol and hours later bludgeoned him to death with a metal ornament in the bedroom of their luxury apartment in Hong Kong, prosecutors said.

She later wrapped the body in a rug and asked maintenance workers to move it to a storeroom near the apartment complex, prosecutors said.

Kissel said her husband was a violent, short-tempered cocaine addict who frequently forced her to have painful anal sex.

Robert Kissel's estate was worth $18 million in life insurance, stocks and properties, according to prosecutors.

The hearing, scheduled for eight days, is to continue at Hong Kong's Court of Appeal on Tuesday.

Teen sues after principal sets up drug sting

CONCORD, N.H. — A high school senior who was charged in a drug sting set up by a rival school's principal is suing district officials over his lengthy suspension.

Concord High School student John Huckins, 17, was arrested last month on a charge of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute. He has not entered a plea, but school officials suspended him for the rest of the school year.

Bishop Brady High School Principal Jean Barker set up a meeting with Huckins on a cell phone she confiscated from one of her students, according to police reports.

She received a text message from Huckins stating, "Yo, you need a bag?" according to police reports.

Barker pretended to be the phone's owner and told him to meet outside the back door of her Catholic school, then called police.

When Huckins showed up March 6, he was arrested with a quarter-ounce of marijuana, police said.

Barker did not return phone messages to The Associated Press. She defended her actions to The Concord Monitor, saying Huckins' willingness to bring drugs onto school property placed her school at risk.

Huckins' attorney, Mark Howard, disagreed.

"It is a crime in the state of New Hampshire to elicit a drug offense if you are not either a police officer or working under the direction of a police officer," Howard said.

Police refused to comment.

While his criminal case is pending, Huckins has sued the Concord School District, Superintendent Chris Rath and his principal, Gene Connelly, over his suspension. Huckins is attending classes until a judge reaches a decision.

"John is very interested in staying in school and finishing out the school year," Howard said. "He couldn't be any more embarrassed or humiliated about this."

The lawsuit alleges the school district neglected to provide the written charges against him and inform him he could bring a lawyer to his suspension hearing.

Concord School District attorney John Teague acknowledged that a mistake was made initially but said the charges were refiled correctly.

Florida woman survives gunshot between the eyes

Bullet shatters, bounces off skull of 42-year-old victim in road rage assault

Emergency room doctors apologized to the 42-year-old woman who had come in for treatment for staring at her in disbelief. It wasn’t every day — in fact, it was never — that they saw somebody with a large-caliber gunshot wound between the eyes who not only was alive, but wasn’t even unconscious or seriously injured.

Call it Marie’s Miracle. As reported for TODAY by NBC’s Martin Savidge, it happened late last Saturday night, when Marie, who does not want to reveal her last name for fear of retaliation, her boyfriend and her 22-year-old daughter were driving through Tampa on their way home to Riverview, Fla., after a night out.

“We had a nice night out to the movies, got something to eat, were just rolling down the road,” she said.

As they were driving on 50th Street in Tampa, a white Nissan Sentra with two people inside and a gray Nissan Altima carrying four people pulled up alongside the truck in which the trio were driving. When they stopped at a traffic light, the occupants of the two cars started yelling at them, shouting obscenities and gesturing with their hands. Then a man got out of the Sentra and another left the Altima and started yelling at Marie’s boyfriend, who had rolled down his window to find out what the problem was.

The light turned green, the men got back into their cars, and all three vehicles continued on their way. There are three lanes of traffic in each direction on the street, and the two cars got on either side of the truck.

“They were shifting lanes, and trying to box us in and trying to run into the side of the truck,” Marie said. They also continued yelling obscenities, and one man in the Sentra looked at Marie and told her he was going to kill her.

At the next light, the driver of the Sentra attempted to pay off on his promise. Horrified, Marie saw him stand up on the seat and rise through the car’s open sunroof.

“I seen him rise out of the sunroof like in the movies, and he pulled his gun up and turned it and I heard it fire,” she said.

The two cars sped away, and police are still attempting to track down the assailants.

Police investigators would theorize that the man fired three shots from a gun that they believe was a .44-caliber handgun. One of the bullets struck Marie directly between the eyes.

It should have killed her. Instead, the bullet shattered into three pieces against her skull. The fragments ran under her skin, exited through her cheek on one side of her head and near her ear on the other.

At first, she didn’t know she’d been hit. Then she realized blood was pouring from her head.

“I thought I was gonna, was gonna die, but I stayed conscious,” she said.

Her boyfriend pulled into a convenience store parking lot while her daughter called 911. An EMS crew quickly arrived to transport her to Tampa General Hospital, where Dr. Brad Peckler was one of the first to see her.

“I saw her being wheeled in, and was a little surprised that she was just sitting up and talking,” Peckler said.

When she was examined, doctors determined that all she needed was some stitches. When they were done sewing her up, they sent her on her way. She walked out of the hospital.

Said her boyfriend, “I was able to walk her out of the ER and tell her she should buy a lottery ticket.”
