Xbox 360 – 1,193,088Wii – 618,278PS3 – 281,977 So yeah it’s another territory where the PS3 is being hammered, the Wii looks like it will overtake the 360 in the next few …
You may or may not have known about the recent Gears of War league that has been happening online. Well koldFUSiON www.thexboxlounge.co.za has put together his review of the league which is quite interesting. I agree with some of his points but not all. My understanding of the League is that it’s to find the best of the best amongst SA, obviously …

The above image is doing the rounds at the moment. Have Sony decided to follow Microsoft’s lead by integrating a gamer card into your PS3 profile?

USAToday has reviewed the latest Madden Iteration and has overwhelmingly backed the 360 version. PS3 owners, unfortunately, are greeted with a Madden that is sluggish in comparison. Action stutters far too often, particularly on injuries, penalties and turnovers. There’s also a half-second delay between pressing the hike button and receiving the ball in your hands. Even close-ups between play look dull …
After all the recent ongoing bad press about the PS3 I was starting to feel bad for it and was thinking about having a PS3 appreciation day… It seems like I may end up doing that after seeing yet another bad news story about the PS3.
