Playstation 3

What does a good Christmas look like for the Xbox team over at Microsoft? Try selling 1.45 million consoles in a single month. How about 1.73 million Nintendo Wii’s? Yeah, it sounds pretty good. Both Redmond-based companies had a amazingly successful holiday sales season, pushing record numbers of consoles. Sony was less successful, selling only [...]

And the battle for console dominance continues. A new report from Game News identifies some pretty staggering sales numbers for the Playstation 3 over the past year. Black Friday was particularly kind to the Sony console, with sales up 245 percent over the same time last year. That’s great news for Sony’s sales department, but [...]

Some love Xbox, some love Wii, but it looks like the Playstation’s got a serious fan, right? Made of 18k solid white gold and over 68.34ct of black diamonds, this is one impressive Playstation controller chain. The question we ask you, dear readers, is who’s chain is it? Jay-Z, Paris, or Shaquille O’Neal? Well, none [...]

The not-very-secret secret out of the Wal-Mart camp isn’t exactly a discount on its PS3 offering this holiday season, but it’s still pretty significant. Snag an 80GB PS3 during the event, and you’ll be able to pick up 10 free Blu-Ray movies while you’re there. Not crummy, we-choose-them-for-you discs. Instead, you simply grab any 10 titles [...]

Sony has done the impossible, pushing Playstation 3 sales to a point that might almost be described as…impressive. The newly released 40GB PS3 model seems to have caused a surge in unit sales, shoving the PS3 into competitive territory with Microsoft and Nintendo. Prior to the appearance of the 40GB version, the Playstation 3 was [...]

How does 500 Euros off a new Sony LCD TV sound to you? Pretty good, right? How about 500 Euros off in addition to a brand new Blu-ray player or PS3? Yeah, we’re not kidding. Either Sony has an amazing sense of generosity given the upcoming holiday season, or somebody is getting a bit worried [...]

We’ve been hearing rumors of this for quite a while, but there’s nothing like a bit of confirmation, right? Recently leaked internal documents from Best Buy have revealed that the $399 Playstation 3 might indeed be a reality. It should sport a 40 GB hard drive, and come bundled with Spiderman 3 on Blu-ray, deading [...]

It requires a bit of digging, but the folks at G4 have managed to deduce that the new rumble-capable PS3 controller (no surprise) will have a much more sophisticated rumbility (yes, we know that’s not really a word) than any PS variant to date. When delving into the 1up.com preview of Metal Gear Solid 4, the [...]

It’s not all graveyards and anger for Sony’s Gaming division. Despite their lackluster Playstation 3 sales, especially relative to the success and demand for Nintendo’s Wii, the company is making strides in the handheld gaming market. Following the recent release of Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Sony has seen amazing gains with their PSP. Last [...]

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of Second Life fans breathing a sigh of relief. Sony announced today that it was delaying the release of its Second Life-esque Playstation Home until Spring 2008, giving SL fans another couple of months before Sony starts stepping to their game. Second Life jokes aside, this is the [...]

As 60GB PS3’s start to die off, speculation is abounding about the $499 price tag. Will Sony let it disappear? Will the 80GB version start sporting this price? Perhaps an "added value" bundle is in the works. Regardless of which Sony chooses (if any), the hot new rumor from simExchange is that they’ll make some kind [...]

According to an NPD report, as many as 70% of Xbox 360 owners are unaware of the HD capabilities (both gaming and video) of the Xbox 360.  It’s almost as bad for the PlayStation 3…as many as 60% don’t know that their console can play back Blu-Ray movies and only 50% are aware of the HD gaming [...]

….and it’s November 5th. Activision, the madmen behind this seminal game series has announced that the 4th installment of Call of Duty will be available to the general public on November 5th of this year. The game will be released simultaneously for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, with the poor Nintendo Wii getting the shaft. Sorry, [...]
