After the recent news that PS3’s actually outsold the Wii in Japan for two weeks, it has now emerged that the console has enjoyed a 298% rise in sales in the States in since the beginning of this month. Over at Gamesindustry.biz, they’re attributing the news to the introduction of the 40Gb and 80Gb models, and while that’s true, perhaps it’s actually just a sign that the dawn of PlayStation3 as the all powerful king of the consoles is now beginning.
Only a couple of weeks ago Sony CEO Howard Stringer was predicting something of a coming-of-age for the PlayStation3, pointing to the PlayStation2’s rather slow start. Well, it seems he might just have known what he was talking about. Just like the PlayStation2 at this time in its lifecycle, the PlayStation3 has just left behind a few too many months of underperforming software, to suddenly begin to look like it could win the console war. With plenty of must-have games recently out or on the radar, just maybe the PS3 will actually become, well, the next PS2. visit the link: http://www.pspsps.tv/2007/11/the_rise_of_the_ps3_begins.html
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
It's funny how no one commented on this article i wonder how many comments it would've had if it was a PS3 doom article?
The sudden shift of the PS3 into higher gear seems to have taken the industry and the media by suprise. Now i can only see alot greater things when Sony shifts up again come next year.
is running this race like its a marathon and not a sprint and thats why they will succeed. I think that when Sony approach the 360 in overall sales whenever that is the "Soft" will launch there next system and claim victory lol.
they love to hate. they hate to be OWNED.
they can twist many things around and deny facts. at the end of the day that doesnt bring the playstation down, it only makes it stronger.
