So what are we looking at here? Basically this is a graph of worldwide sales for the three main consoles. With their launches aligned. That Blue cliff is the unstoppable Wii, The Green snake is the 360 and the Red is the PS3 (why is the PS3’s colour always red?) As you can see the PS3 has kept pace …
A new rumour/conspiracy doing the rounds is that the Xbox 360 Ultimate (the one with the rumoured HD-DVD drive) was cancelled at the last minute due to Warner’s Blu-Ray statement. In fact, I’d bet money that Microsoft’s much-rumoured HD DVD-enabled Xbox 360 was one of the deals on offer to tempt Warner to support HD DVD exclusively in a “you …

Granted they may only be doing it to line their own pockets …

A truly oozing press release has been sent out by Microsoft to the major media houses and once such journalist has published the entire thing online. To be honest it reads very well and makes you …
Only in America could three intellectually disadvantaged individuals sue someone for damages which are probably about a million times more than they apparently suffered. Xbox Live in the US costs I think around $60 per annum. The Xbox Live service was pretty much broken for around 10 days during the peak holiday season. So what do the three Texans decided …
Gamer.blorge.com has an article asking whether or not the PS3 can overtake the 360 in 2008. I would just like to state up front that I highly doubt this is possible and the rest of my thoughts are based on whether or not the PS3 will achieve greater 2008 sales than the 360. Obviously the Warner Bros. and New Line …
