Howard Stringer, Sony Chairman, has been telling the Sony shareholders today that the PS3 is already making a comeback. Now that they have solved the production problems that is… Personally I remember the PS3 problems being lack of games and an exceptionally high price. Not production problems.  To add some weight to his claims however it was announced today that over 380 …

An Australian website called Smarthouse has written an article detailing it’s findings into the Xbox 360’s failure rate. Microsoft has always claimed that the failure rate falls within the 3-5% industry norm, Yet no one has ever believed them. Smarthouse is claiming that the failure rate is actually around 30% which does fit in well with all the other surveys and articles …

The Latest installment of the COD series is nearly here and a new gameplay video has hit the internet… It really does look good….. One thing though, why do you need to aim properly if you have such a visible laser sight?

And here I was thinking that IBM was the most boring corporate in the history of IT. Then I stumble across a new study commissioned by IBM that actually states that online gaming is good for your career. Stop laughing they actually have a point. They say online gaming helps you become a better corporate leader by fostering skills related to collaboration, self-organisation, risk-taking, …

Hey it’s good news in Japan for the PS3 and Xbox 360 this week. When looking at the next gen console titles only we see the following Xbox 360 –  Trusty Bell – 49,334PS3 – Ninja Gaiden Sigma – 46,307Wii – Wii Sports – 34,223 How is that for a turn up for the books… It is an exact reversal of …

So the sordid details of the Immersion/Microsoft/Sony lawsuits are coming to the fore… A site called arstechnica.com (?) has a decent article about all the latest details on this fight and how Immersion thinks it has paid already and blah blah blah… Nothing to interesting until it gets to the point about how much we can assume Sony paid Immersion to …

I am so thankful to these analysts who are always on hand to let me know exactly what the future looks like… Robin Harris over at  zdnet.com has come out and called the war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray off. Because Blu-Ray has won already. This stems from the recent Blockbuster announcement that they will only stock Blu-Ray from now on. Personally I don’t see …

So how popular is the Wii and DS? Well popular enough to get Nintendo’s total valuation to overtake Panasonic and now only slightly behind Sony. The entire of Sony….. Nintendo is now valued at $51 Billion and to think all they really do is make the Wii and DS and some software for both machines. That really is quite a feat. Sony is worth about $52 Billion…. …

Damn Mark Rein has come out and confirmed that there will be no Gears Of War 2 mentioned at the Mini E3 coming up. He uses some excuse that they are still working on updates and patches for Gears of War 1 so 2 is still a long way off but I don’t believe that. This year is Halo 3, nothing …

Yeah I finally found a review where the guy actually recommends getting the PS3 at the end of it… Basically he feels that Microsoft where unlucky to release when they did and now their hardware already looks last-gen while the PS3 looks to be perfect. This is all about HDMI and Blu-Ray, what he does seem to miss is that you …

  The Sony Protection Group strikes again, this time they have used the past sales of the PSP before and after it’s price drop to argue against dropping the price of the PS3. Is it only me who is starting to think that the SPG is an official Sony department. You can’t compare a handheld which was slightly expensive to the most expensive console in …

Following on from the Halo movie rumours of yesterday another suprising twist in the tale has arrived now.. If Fox did make the Halo movie we would be able to buy the Halo HD movie on Blu-Ray only…. Fox is a Blu-Ray exclusive studio… Now that would be a turn up for the books wouldn’t it… Unfortunately these movie rumours have …
