By Gavin Mannion
October 22, 2007 - 18 years ago

In an attempt to move some more consoles in the Japanese market Microsoft has announced a $50 price cut effective from the 1st of November.

The image above is a comparison between the 3 consoles sales after we align the launch dates. The red line is the PS3, the green line is the 360 and the blue cliff face is the Wii. As you can see the PS3 is pretty much exactly even with the 360 coming up to this holiday season. Granted the above …

October 22, 2007 - 18 years ago

The Haze demo has been released and the early reviews are not being kind. Haze is supposed to be the PS3’s answer to Halo but with the added twist of NECTAR.

By Gavin Mannion
October 19, 2007 - 18 years ago

Seriously someone needs to explain to Jack Tretton that he really is damaging Sony’s image with his press releases and interviews. He was recently interviewed by Newsweek about the new 40Gb model and he was asked about the lack of BC in the 40GB model and how it actually could be portrayed as a betrayal of the PlayStation brand. Jack’s answer? Today, for $399, I’m …
