With PS3 sales overtaking Xbox 360 sales in the last couple of months there have been many articles and reports flying around the internet saying that the PS3 is finally starting to catch up to the 360 and may possibly even overtake it soon. Interesting concept, except for the fact that it's flawed. The current sales of the Xbox 360 and PS3 on VGchartz are as follows: Xbox 360: 20.44 Million Playstation 3: 15.05 Million The thing is, that if you look at the console sales, you can see that the gap in sales between the PS3 and Xbox 360 is still roughly the same as it was when the PS3 was launched. This means that in the current state, the sales of the PS3 are at best only matching the sales of the Xbox 360 even though sales for Sony's console have picked up recently. The PS3 is indeed becoming more popular and the past problems with the Xbox 360's hardware have made quite a difference. However, we all know that the Xbox 360 is going to be the only console offering HD next-gen gaming at the magic price of $199 US dollars. As we have stated in previous articles, come Christmas time, parents are going to be flocking to stores to ensure a truckload of new foul mouthed children join us on Xbox Live and when they do, the low price of the Xbox 360 is going to be incredibly tempting, especially with Nintendo's Wii suffering from shortages abroad. As much as the PS3 enjoys strong brand recognition and a a large fanbase from the PS2 generation, the purchasing decisions are that of the parents and not the children and when the price is right, the parents are all for it. So how is the the future of the PS3 looking? We spend so much time discussing exclusive titles and graphics comparisons that we forget that at the end of the day it largely comes down to parents, standing in a store, staring at shelves with PS3's and Xbox 360's on them. They don't care about MGS4 and Gears of War 2. They see a low price tag on one of them "new console thingamajigs" and the truth is, its not the PS3. It seems pretty obvious which one is going to be leaving in their trolley.

A new video has been made available from PAX of a dashboard walkthrough done by none other than Major Nelson. The new video is about as shaky as Cloverfield and The Blair With Project put together but its decent enough that you can see what's happening without any issues. He covers a whole bunch of the new features, from the ability to preview themes to the new party mode and avatars. I am getting really excited to get my hands on the new dashboard and all of its new features. All we know is that Fall (our Spring) cannot get here quick enough.

Mirror’s Edge is another one of those titles that is getting a lot of media attention and interest at these conventions and PAX is no exception. However I hope that this video is just showing badly on my machine and the actual game is not as jerky and disorientating as this. And how is the balancing going to work on …

The rumours are in and apprently we can expect to see a Xbox 360 price cut in Japan in the coming week as well. We are still expecting the US prices to be slashed and the Arcade to reach the magical $199 figure this week over there, well the Japanese price cut is beating that and dropping the price of …

Either my jinxing powers are super powerful or I just like games that are not great. My latest expectation, Mercenaries 2, has received it’s IGN review (first review?) and while there are some good points being said about the game the problems are also unmistakable. Mind you a 7.9 is far from being a bad score but getting a 5 …

It’s coming and it seems that Sony is fully aware of the hardware moving capability of LittleBigPlanet. The European bundle has now been announced (or leaked) and is hitting shelves on the 5th of November (2 days before Gears 2). The bundle includes the 80GB model plus DualShock 3 and a copy of LBP… I have asked SterKinekor for a …

We were down at SterKinekor Games recently and noticed that they had a pile of games lying around that needed a new home. So when they turned there back we grabbed them and made a hasty exit. So here is what we managed to swipe. 2 X Devil May Cry 4 (360) 2 X Bioshock (PC) 1 X NBA Ballers …

While chatting with Valve and getting some hands on time with Left 4 Dead on Xbox 360, the folks from Kotaku report that the 360 version is looking and playing almost precisely the same as the PC version. While the game sounds really great on both PC and Xbox 360, Kotaku raised a very valid question. Where is the PS3 version? Chet Faliszek of Valve told them that the main reason is development time. While he says that porting the game over to the Xbox 360 is "almost like pushing an A button". He then goes on to explain that the PS3 version essentially needs to be built up from scratch. What this means is that the game definitely will be coming out for PS3 but it could be a while. In my opinion I think that it isn't great that PS3 owners need to wait but I think it will be worth it if it means that Valve can produce a top quality port of the game for PS3 owners to enjoy. There is no indication on when the PS3 version might be available so we will have to wait for word from Valve.
