And you could own one, if you happen to live in Japan or are willing to import one for a boatload of money. Otherwise you’ll have to be patient like the rest of us and wait until its US and Euro release early next year.Sony hasn’t given an exact release date, just saying that the device will hit retail in the land ...

Thank you, Captain Obvious. “I think we did cater for a market, albeit not as big as the traditional PSP-3000 market,†Kaz Hirai told MCV. “It is the first time we have done that with any of our devices, and we did get a lot of feedback, both good and bad.Do you think maybe that some of the feedback was that – despite it being a ...

Nintendo’s 3DS had a really good showing at E3. It caused stampedes of gamers trying to get in to the long queues to play the device. By all accounts it works – and it works really well. Despite that, and despite not ... [»]

First up I think it’s about time Sony gave these things a name. The most common name for their upcoming motion controller is The Wand but I have heard some of the dev’s calling it The Globe and to be honest I prefer that one. Anyway at TGS this morning Kaz ... [»]
Kaz Hirai has long been one of my favourite executives, not because he is really good at his job or is a shining light in our industry... but because he is so passionate about Sony that he often shoots his mouth off with absolute garbage that gives us pages and pages of ... [»]
Sony President Ryoji Chubachi will be stepping down, to make way for current chief executive officer Jerry Springer Howard Stringer. Stringer will retain his position as CEO in conjunction to being the president, while Chubachi – whose decision making power will be cut - will likely be relegated to making Sir Stringer’s coffee and sandwiches. Rumour has it he likes the crusts cut off. Other ... [»]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the main event will begin in just a few moments. Will you take your seats please… Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg has responded to SCE President' Kaz Hirai’s recent otherworldly musings. Greenberg, who has the ridiculously long title of “Director of Product Management for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live†had the following to say :“This sounds like an old hardware company that’s comfortable with its market position. That complacent attitude is out of touch with where the industry and consumer is today. This generation won’t be won over just hardware specs, but who can out-innovate when it comes to online and software. This is the kind of stuff that’s in our DNA, and frankly moves the console war onto our home court.I’m confident we will outsell the PS3 throughout the entire generation by providing more innovation and building the best and broadest games library while growing our entertainment experiences on ...

Not content with just hyping their games, Sony seem to be reverting back to pre-PS3 launch levels of smack talking. They also seem to be imbibing a bit of the electric kool-aid, with Sony Computer Entertaining President Kaz Hirai waxing delusional. In an interview with Official Playstation magazine, the SCE front-man said - despite being firmly in last place - "I'd ... [»]
CVG has been chatting to a senior gaming industry executive about how the credit crunch may affect gaming over this holiday season and he had the following to say.
"As long as we can generate excitement, then we will be less affected than other industries"
Which is just marketing talk that makes no sense... however he goes on to say
"We're getting to the point where price becomes more important"
Which I fully agree with, beacuse at the moment the spotlight is firmly on our finances and we should be cutting costs where ever we ... [»]
