The PS3 is only 50 034 units behind the Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 got off to a flying start in this generation with the PlayStation 3 preferring to stay at home perfecting its make up before leaving for the race. By year 3 the Xbox 360 was miles ahead of the PS3 and unbelievably it decided to take a nap.

First real gameplay footage of Gran Turismo 6

So after the local PR and media disaster of the GT6 embargo yesterday we can get back to normal life and get back to reporting on the facts of the matter and not simply opinions and feelings.

Win a PlayStation 3 with WeChat!

It’s been a while since we’ve given away something truly awesome on the site. We’ve also been dabbling with the new(ish!) social mobile messaging client WeChat, and found it to have some pretty sweet features. So we thought we’d team up with them to give you something special. Yes, we’re giving away a PlayStation 3 – so all you PC nuts and Xbox zealots can win a chance at playing great games like The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls – along with a rich, six year library of other exclusives.

The PlayStation 4 won’t be a loss leader

Even though it launched at a price way, way above what the average gamer was willing to spend, Sony’s PlayStation 3 was a loss leader; sold under cost in the hopes that money would be made through software sales.

The official PlayStation blog has stated that they have a busy week ahead with some intriguing game announcements planned. The posting was made on the 5th of May which means that between Sunday and Sunday we can expect a game announcement of some sort.

Meet the infected of The Last of Us

One of the PlayStation 3’s last great exclusives, The Last of Us, is nearly here and I believe it could truly be one of those titles that makes the PC master race head out to pick up a PS3, or at least head to a friend everyday to play this game.

Want to shoot mayonnaise on rice?

The fact that our dear friends in Japan like weird games is nothing ground breaking but I have to admit this is possibly the most arbitrary PlayStation 3 game that I’ve ever heard off. The entire game consists of you squeezing your mayonnaise over a bowl of rice.

Gran Turismo 6 hitting the PS3 in November?

It’s been rumoured for quite some time now that Gran Turismo 6 has been in development over at Polyphony Digital, and that it would be heading to the PlayStation 3. It’s a rumour that was given a little credence recently when SCEE senior vice-president Michael Denny quite strongly suggested that GT6 would hit the PS3.

Is SimCity coming to consoles?

EA have teamed up with Crest toothpaste in the States to offer some new DLC for all those gamers who pop out to their local shops to pick up a tube of toothpaste. Some sites are taking offense with this for ethical reasons but I do think that’s going a bit far.

French prisons ban the PlayStation 3… Xbox is okay though

We keep being told by all these experts that video games enhance violent tendencies and that we as parents should be careful about what games our kids play. Now if any of this is true at all wouldn’t it make absolutely no sense at all to allow prisoners to play video games in prison?

Bioshock: Infinite is playable on the PS Vita

I’m a self confessed hater when it comes to the PS Vita. I don’t see the point and have not been the least bit surprised when it comes to reporting on its poor sales record… I also never saw the point of remote play as it was so selective.. but that is about to change.

Is Star Wars 1313 coming to PS3? (NO)

A rumour hit the Internet this yesterday that the rather incredible-looking Star Wars 1313 would be coming to the PS3  - thanks to a posting on the official German Facebook page. When we had a look at the game at Gamescom, we were convinced the title would only be for Next-gen consoles and high end PCs.  Were we wrong?
