The past week or so we’ve given you the chance to win in our VGB 3-year-anniversary “game of your choice competition“. The task was a matter of mentioning which game are you most looking forward to playing and why. We heartily thank everyone who participated, but of course out of all the answers only one winner could be chosen at random…

“Jake Jenova” wins and chose to get Left 4 Dead for his Xbox 360! Congratulations to the winner! You’ll be contacted via email shortly.

If you didn’t win: Free hugs from Genki Rockets’ cutie singer are being FED EX’ed to you right now! And please suggest games you want to win in our next competition by commenting below. Or if no one really needs a new game in December, we’d prefer to instead donate that money to Child’s Play charity like we pretty much do every year.

Microsoft is coming to terms with a harsh reality; drunk on rum and with all cannons firing, Nintendo has stolen the booty this generation.

In an interview with BusinessWeek, Microsoft’s Don Mattick admitted his company has realistic goals in terms of catching Nintendo this round.

Quite simply, that it won’t.

Even Microsoft’s top Xbox boss acknowledges the company is unlikely to catch up to Nintendo. “I’m not at a point where I can say we’re going to beat Nintendo,” says Don Mattrick, senior vice-president of Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment Business. Indeed, Nintendo is likely to run away with the lead in the current generation of console gaming, leaving Microsoft and Sony to battle for second place. Microsoft’s lead over Sony, coupled with the changes it’s bringing to the console, positions it to secure that spot, Mattrick says: “We will sell more consoles this generation than Sony.”

Faulty hardware aside, Microsoft had a good approach this generation. It hit the market a year early, established a strong games library with blockbuster exclusives and built the industry’s standard for online gaming services. Despite all this, Nintendo has breezed by Microsoft, and the company is losing ground to Sony, which has done as many things wrong this generation as Microsoft has done right.

Nintendo has sold 31 million Wii consoles worldwide. Microsoft follows with slightly more than 20 million 360 sales, and Sony trails with a steadily climbing 15 million PS3 sales, according to VG Chartz.
