Console Game Sales Slide; SC2 Lifts PC

August 13th, 2010

Console game sales fell 1 percent in July, but with the release of StarCraft II PC sales rose 103 percent. This helped to increase overall game sales by 4 percent for the month.

Last July sales of Console game hardware, software and accessories was $850.6 million, dropping 1 percent this year to $846.5 million. Hardware sales were up 12 percent, to $313.8 million in sales because of the release of the slimmer version of the Xbox 360

XBox 360 is the leading console for the second month in a row, selling 443,500 units. The Nintendo DS comes in second with 398,400 units sold. PlayStation 3 only managed to sell 214,500 units, but Sony says sales are up 45 percent year-to-date in the United States.

Microsoft is stating its hardware has outsold PlayStation 3 for seven straight months and the Wii for two. In the month of July a total of $290 million was spent on Xbox 360 products.

In the last four days of July StarCraft II sold 721,000 copies.

Team West Wins Continental Cup!

August 12th, 2010

E-Stars Seoul gets underway shortly with their first event, the Continental Cup. Team West will take on Team East in two different events.

The first event will feature three maps. Each coach will pick a team to compete on the predetermined map. The maps are de_tuscan, de_inferno and de_dust2.

The next event will be Deathmatch. The rules are simple. You lose your out, if you win you keep playing. The winner will be crowned when the other team has no remaining squads.

The final event of e-Stars Seoul will be King of the Game. This is a regular Counter-Strike tournament. Team East and West will split back up and compete in a round robin format. The top four will advance to a best-of-three playoff stage.
