Next Gen sales 6 months in

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2007 - 18 years ago

What do we have here? A nice little chart showing the sales of each of the major console after their first 6 months of life. US data only… So the Wii is once again the best selling console, followed by the PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Xbox 360 and then the PS3. So the 360 was outsold by the Gamecube and original …

Project Gotham Racing 3 is not a PS3 game

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2007 - 18 years ago

Seriously Sony, and your advertisers, you need to realise that PGR3 is not available on the PS3, last week it was being used in the KIA ad and now it is being used in a magazine advert… I realise this has nothing to do with Sony but I think it is about time that Sony sent out a message to …

So it’s time for the regular weekly wrap up… 3 weeks in a row now that’s quite impressive for me 🙂 Half way through last week I found a really awesome poll system so I am going to add that into my weekly round up now as well. Poll Question: Which is your main next gen console? 67% said the …

Unreal Engine vs CryEngine

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2007 - 18 years ago

   With all the media attention Crysis has been receiving it is quite interesting to see some screenshots of the CryEngine and Unreal Engine side by side… There really isn’t that much difference that I can see, the CryEngine seems to be better at outdoor images, the plants and sky look nicer in those shots but the Unreal engine seems …

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2007 - 18 years ago

Over at the Sony Protection Group (Seriously?) they have put together a chart showing the first 24 months sales of the PS3 compared to the PS2 and PS1. As you can see in the chart the PS3 is outselling the PS1 by a mile and is close to the PS2 as well… This goes to show the PS3 will dominate, …

80GB PS3 Confirmed for Korea

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2007 - 18 years ago

Two suprises in one story, now that’s unusual 🙂 First off South Korea, the most internet enabled country on the planet does not have the PS3 yet…. How did that happen? And secondly the Koreans are going to be getting a 80GB version of the PS3. I first reported on this at the end of March and then followed it up with another …

PES7 Possible In Game Graphics

By Gavin Mannion
May 21, 2007 - 18 years ago

 There has been a lot of media surrounding the new Winning Eleven graphics especially on the PS3. It is rumoured that the PS3 version will be much better than the Xbox 360 version and will take up 18Gb on that infamous BluRay disc. Obviously the Xbox 360 version will not be able to have 18Gb so it is rumoured to look …

Little consumer interest in Blu-Ray or HD-DVD

By Gavin Mannion
May 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

Lee Distad is a CEDIA Certified Professional Designer for expensive audio and visual stuff… so his opinion on the current format war is obviously more educated than mine… He brings up a very valid point that I have not seen before. None of the high end manufacturers (Denon, Marantz etc) have chosen a side and currently don’t make either. So why …

By Gavin Mannion
May 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

Just a quick note to let you know that the latest P3Zine is available… In the words of the makers themselves because I am to lazy to paraphrase today…. “The third issue of our free PlayStation 3 magazine has a huge Colin McRae: DIRT hands-on preview, plus an exclusive interview with Colin McRae producer Alex Grimbley of Codemasters. Also in …

Petition to get the price of the PS3 lowered

May 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

So not content with waiting for Sony to realise that the PS3 is overpriced some inventive little soul has started an online petition to get the price of the PS3 lowered. While this sounds like a great idea and well worth the attempt it is mildy worrying that no one has signed it… I picked up the news story from one of the biggest …

Anyway back to the point Nintendo Wii: 360K (2.5 million total) Sony …

PGR screenshot used to promote PS3 … again

By Gavin Mannion
May 18, 2007 - 18 years ago

  Sony just can’t catch a break at the moment, the above image was caught on a Spanish internet ad for both Kia and the PS3…. Umm that would be a licence plate saying PGR which would happen to be an exclusive for the PS3’s nearest competitor…. The ad has now been fixed but someone at CVG managed to get …
