Cryptic Studios has backtracked on porting Champions Online to the Xbox 360 and now says there are no plans to come to consoles. It turns out that running a good MMO is hard enough on one platform. Who knew?

The NPD numbers covering September (five weeks from August 30th to October 6th to be exact) are out, and the PlayStation 3 price cut to $299 seems to have worked. Microsoft cut their console down to size as well, of course, and even Nintendo decided to take a dip in the profitability of their console with their drop to $199, boosting everyone's numbers, but the PS3 outsold everything except for the DS.

Think those Wii sales numbers have been sagging? Sure the whole industry's been dragging itself along through the middle of this year despite some stellar titles hitting very high marks on non-Nintendo systems, but Nintendo apparently thinks their massive bank of money counting machines needs a workout again.
