Good morning,


Nintendo's Wii console outsold Sony's PlayStation 3 by a factor of six to one in Japan during June. Research from Japanese publisher Enterbrain show that, despite doubts from analysts, the Wii continues to go from strength to strength, outselling the PS3 by four to one in April and five to one in May.

Efforts to cut domestic energy consumption and fight climate change are being undermined by a proliferation of electricity-hungry consumer electronics devices, the Energy Saving Trust warned. Marking the dawn of a new 'Information, Communication, Entertainment (ICE) Age', the Energy Saving Trust's Ampere Strikes Back report (PDF) identifies the energy burden of this new set of products.
