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.

I’ve not left anyone in doubt about my doubts of the usefulness of the PS Vita, I really see no purpose for the device at all. However Sony believes differently and if two different rumours are to be believed this morning they are seeing the PS Vita as a big part of the PlayStation future.

Sony to bring the Vita back to life

May 15, 2013 at 2:00 pm | 27 Comments

Sony’s newest handheld, the PlayStation Vita isn’t doing particularly well in face of competition from smartphones and tablets, and most importantly, Nintendo’s 3DS. Sony’s biggest enemy with regards to the Vita at the moment though seems to be Sony itself; with not enough of a title push, the company’s said it expects to sell fewer than 5 million of the things in FY 2014. Sony, however, believes it can turn that around.

There are a lot of rumours floating around about Gran Turismo 6 as the moment with previous rumours of the titles announcement date coming and going without any sign of the much anticipated game. However this latest rumour could be very interesting indeed.

The PlayStation 4 won’t be a loss leader

May 9, 2013 at 2:30 pm | 15 Comments

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.

Meet the infected of The Last of Us

May 7, 2013 at 7:45 am | 21 Comments

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.

In this world of over-the-top bonuses and excessive salaries for executives it is nice to see a group who actually appear to care about the company that they are working for… even if it does mean that things aren’t going exactly to plan.
