Have you been wondering how the consoles have been stacking up against each other lately? Don’t worry, you stataholics will be getting your fix in this article. Below you’ll find the top selling hardware/consoles, and then also the top 10 games for the month of February 2008.

So how did the hardware fare against each other? It looks like the PS3 has outsold the Xbox 360 for the second month in a row. You also have to take into consideration that there is an Xbox 360 shortage going on until the Spring. I recently went around looking for a store that had them in stock, and was surprised to see that they were actually hard to find. That could be why the Xbox came up 25,000 units short of the PS3, or people might just be more willing to purchase the PS3 since Blu-ray has won the HD format war.

1. Nintendo DS: 587,600 units
2. Nintendo Wii: 432,000 units
3. Playstation 2: 351,800 units
4. Playstation 3: 280,800 units
5. Xbox 360: 254,600 units
6. Playstation Portable: 243,100 units

And as for the games Guitar Hero, Call of Duty 4, and Devil May Cry sucked up over half of the top ten spots:

1. [Xbox 360] Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare – 296,200 units
2. [Xbox 360] Devil May Cry 4 – 295,200 units
3. [Wii] Wii Play with Remote – 289,700 units
4. [PS3] Devil May Cry 4 – 233,500 units
5. [Wii] Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock – 222,900 units
6. [Wii] Mario and Sonic: Olympic Games – 205,600 units
7. [Xbox 360] Lost Odyssey – 203,600 units
8. [Xbox 360] Turok – 197,700 units
9. [PS2] Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock – 183,800 units
10. [Xbox 360] Rock Band – 161,800 units

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from our stratospheric rise in smartphone adoption over the past several years (with no end in sight), it’s that we can never have enough spectrum to run data services for them — just ask the chairman of the FCC, the president of the CTIA, or pretty much anyone who’s ever tried to load Engadget on an iPhone in Times Square. To that end, we’re excited to see that the FCC has slated another round of 700MHz spectrum — the pure gold that Verizon, AT&T, and others are using for LTE deployments — but we wouldn’t get too excited, because it’s actually just a few blocks left over from the last auction that went unsold or unpaid. Markets in Puerto Rico, North Dakota, North Carolina, and South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia make up the 16 licenses available, so if you were planning on setting up 4G services in the Bismarck metropolitan area, you’re in good shape.

FCC to auction off deadbeat bidders’ 700MHz spectrum on July 19th, 2011 originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 15 Dec 2010 19:24:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Remember the Barracuda LP? Meet its formal successor. In a bid to generate some interest from upgrading Sierra Club members, Seagate has just introduced the Barracuda Green, described as the world’s highest performance eco-friendly desktop hard drive. Essentially, this 3.5-inch internal HDD aims to split the difference between power and performance, with a 5,900RPM spin speed and the company’s own SmartAlign technology to enable the benefits of the new 4K sector standard. The company claims that it’s whisper quiet in use, and it drains less power than non-Green alternatives. It’s hitting the sales channel now in 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB sizes, with the big guy topping out at around $120. Ma Earth thanks you in advance for your consideration.
