With Nintendo’s announcement of the Wii U at E3, and rumors of a potential Microsoft machine headed our way in 2013, you’d think that the folks over at Sony would be working long hours to make the next-gen PlayStation top-dog amongst competitors. Unfortunately, that’s not the case, according to comments made by PlayStation US boss [...]
Nintendo is looking into making the 3DS automatically download firmware updates from the internet. The move may enable Nintendo to combat piracy more effectively than it has done with the DS. During an investor question and answer session (translated by Andriasang), an attendee asked CEO Satoru Iwata if Nintendo will implement anti-piracy measures via the [...]
PlayStation 3 outsold Xbox 360 by 4 million units in the 12 months ending June 30, by far the most significant lead Sony has placed over Microsoft since it launched PS3 in 2006. Microsoft reported last week that it had sold 10.3 million consoles in its last financial year, which ended June 30. Sony confirmed [...]
Microsoft’s locked down their Kinect pricing, availability and bundling, and it’s pretty much what everyone knew. It’s $150 on November 4 for the standalone, and $300 bundled with a 4GB version of the new, smaller Xbox. As we found out back at E3, there’s an “arcade” version of the new Xbox 360. That will be [...]

It’s NPD time again, and for the month of June there was very little in the way of surprises for video game hardware and software sales. Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption continues to be a big seller, while the Wii dominates the top 10 list and the Xbox 360 sees a big boost. Let’s take a [...]
Microsoft may have announced they were getting rid of the famous Red Ring of Death in their newest version of the Xbox 360, but that didn’t do much for the actual problem of overheating. What does solve the problem is the Xbox 360 Slim’s ability to shut itself down when its vents are blocked to [...]
As usual, there was a broad spectrum of odd new Wii accessories at this year’s E3. On one side you’ve got that inflatable racecar that I told you about yesterday. On the other, there’s this machine gun from the folks at Digiwinner. Having spoken with the product manager at the company and having had a [...]
After the Nintendo press conference, the press was whisked out of the hall and into a much smaller meeting room filled with sodas, coffee, and, of course, Nintendo 3DS systems attached to dozens of models. Nintendo was very picky about how the system could be photographed; the 3D effect tends to look like a blur [...]
