Fact: You will want to pre-order MAG after reading this

Zipper Interactive, the people behind the PS3-exclusive MAG (massive action game), is hitting store shelves on January 26th starting off Sony’s 2010 lineup for the year. Well, if you haven’t pre-ordered the game anywhere else yet, Amazon is offering up some pretty cool incentives for pre-ordering the game. You will get $3 off the games retail price, the Amazon-exclusive S.V.E.R. Home Space, and you want some more? You’ll also get $10 off you’re next gaming purchase. Tell me that you don’t want to pre-order the game now.

Amazon sells stuff and here’s the top stuff they sold game-related in 2009

Goddammit. Yeah, I’ve hired local interns to help with the site, and I told one of them to make a picture for this story it seems obvious that the Amazon rain forest would fit in better than Amazon.com. Christ.

Anyhow, we’ve got your top 10 game-related items sold in 2009 from Amazon.com. And…it’s almost no different then last year. Analysts say the Wii is dying; I say they’re dying. So without further ado:

1. Wii
2. Wii Remote Controller
3. Wii MotionPlus
4. Wii Nunchuk Controller
5. New Super Mario Bros
6. Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board
7. Wii Sports Resort
8. Wii Fit
9. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (360)
10. Mario Kart Wii with Wii Wheel

Compared to last year:

1. Wii
2. Wii Fit
3. Wii Nunchuk Controller
4. Wii Remote Controller
5. Mario Kart Wii with Wii Wheel
6. Official Nintendo Wii Wheel
7. Wii Play with Wii Remote

Good job remote, way to beat the nunchuk on that one!

Amazon users can’t get enough of the Wii for the Holidays

Microsoft and Sony have been lowering prices on consoles, changing their current consoles, releasing amazing games, and it looks like it’s all doing little to stop Nintendo and the Wii’s dominance this holiday season.

Amazon has just released it’s top 10 bestsellers for video games these last 2 days before Christmas, and you’ll see what I mean when I say users can’t get enough of Nintendo’s console.

1. Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board
2. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
3. Wii Starter Bundle
4. Wii Console
5. Wii Sports Resort
6. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360)
7. Assassin’s Creed II (Xbox 360)
8. Wii MotionPlus
9. Wii Nunchuk Controler – White
10. Wii Remote Controller

A couple Xbox 360 games, but not much more besides that. I mean, the competitors consoles are even in the running. The PS3 Slim 120GB is at position 21, and a 360 Arcade coming in at 97.

Xbox 360 Elite on $30 below PS3 on Amazon

Amazon really wants to move those units, as they’re dropping the price of the Xbox 360 Elite $30 compared to that of the PS3. The bundle, also includes LEGO Batman and PURE for that drop in price. The PS3 has been selling exceptionally well since it’s price drop in September, and with blu-ray titles under $10, that’s only helping the console.
