Spike TV will once again be hosting its annual video game awards show. This year, though, it’ll come with a new name: VGX.

Geoff Keighley says the show will come with “an expanded digital footprint plus TV coverage on Spike.”

You’ll be able to watch VGX on December 7. The time is set for 6 PM ET, as announced during Spike’s PS4 All Access event a short while ago.

Nintendo has purchased a stake in Dwango Co., Businessweek reports. The web company primarily provides content through mobile phones.

According to Nintendo spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa, the Big N won’t be distributing games through Dwango’s video delivery system Niconico. Nintendo bought the shares at the request of Dwango Chairman Nobuo Kawakami for his personal funding needs.

NPD never hands out hardware data these days, meaning we usually have to rely on leaks and estimates in order to find out how well systems perform each month. Thankfully, NeoGAF user “creamsugar” has come through with a decent overview of October’s sales in the US.

Here’s a general estimate provided by creamsugar’s leak:

PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k This figure suggests that the Wii U managed to outsell the Wii, which the console has had a tough time doing most of the year. Wii U apparently sold between 50,000 and 60,000 units while the Wii moved between 30,000 and 40,000 consoles. Source

Sonic Lost World’s debut sales in the US are in. For the month of October, the game sold under 30,000 copies. That figure combines sales of both versions – Wii U and 3DS.

Now, 30,000 copies isn’t a whole lot, but there is something important to keep in mind. Sonic Lost World launched in North America on October 29. NPD’s latest reporting period ended on November 2. This means Sonic’s debut sales account for a little less than a week of sales.
