The NPD has released its US video game industry figures for October, which reveal that total monthly revenue from hardware, software and accessories among all manufacturers fell to $1.07 billion, constituting a 19 percent drop from what the American gamer spent over the same period last year. After being toppled from its chart-leading ways in September by a price cut-boosted PS3, the Wii has regained its sales throne by chopping $50 off its own entry fee, making itself buoyant in the US, if not the world. The PS3’s own sales have suffered a slump after the September euphoria, while the 360 is still wearing the dunce cap in third place. Microsoft’s response has been to keep banging that drum about being the only console to show year-to-date growth, but when you’re selling less than half as many consoles as Nintendo, you have to grasp at whatever straws are nearby. Speaking of Nintendo, its DS sales so far this year have continued at such a rate as to threaten its own 2008 hardware sales record — set by the Wii — with ten million units sold. So there you have it: Sony fails to maintain its September lead, Nintendo keeps churning, and Microsoft keeps hoping for better times ahead. Full list of figures after the break.

There are two bits of information about Apple today that are pretty interesting and both are regarding recent patent applications. The first is that a patent filing shows that Apple is considering adding DVR functionality to the Apple TV. To me, this is one of those features that should have come with it in the first place! The second patent application tells us that Apple is considering making a flip-phone version of the iPhone. Yes, a flip-phone.

First, about that Apple TV. According to AppleInsider, “a series of Apple patent filings published this week reveal a version of the Apple TV media device capable of browsing and recording live television programming in addition to serving up pre-aired content from the company’s iTunes Store.” Could this potentially end up being a TiVo competitor? Here are a few other interesting ideas that came from the patent regarding the device and the remote:

• The remote looks similar in appearance to a second generation iPod nano
• The remote would also include an LCD display and touch navigation
• Users could download weeks of programming onto the remote interface for “later interaction”
• On-screen programming interface guide would look much like what you see with Digital Cable
• The interface guide would include “interface overlay menus”

The other interesting patent filing tells us that Apple might be toying with the idea of a flip-phone version of the iPhone. The image below will help explain (at least a little) what Apple’s ideas are:

Engadget explains that the application actually describes it as a “dual sided trackpad.” This dual sided trackpad phone “would be translucent and boast touch sensitive panels on each side, allowing it to be used both when it’s opened or when it’s covering the main display.” Not only could this patent apply to a phone, it could also apply to a laptop.

Of course keep in mind that just because patents have been filed doesn’t mean that we’ll ever actually see any of this developed and sold.  It’s still fun to see what the brains over at Apple come up with though…

There ain’t much to glean from Shigeru Miyamoto‘s recent sit-down with Popular Mechanics, but in the never-ending quest to learn more about Nintendo‘s next-generation Wii, a few tidbits of interest have been highlighted. Miyamoto, who is responsible for creating the likes of Mario and Zelda (amongst others), spoke at length about current titles, the future of video games as a whole and on his view of the not-yet-named Wii 2. In answering a question about the future of motion-sensing in the Big N’s consoles, he ran off topic a bit and noted that “it would be likely that we would try to make that same functionality perhaps more compact and perhaps even more cost-efficient” when speaking about future hardware (which honestly may have been talking strictly about accelerometers). Of course, this is about as predictable as it gets — hardware tends to always shrink and get cheaper as technology improves — but hey, there it is! Now, let your imaginations do what they were born to do.
