I think his account was hacked or something. Seems out of character with his previous comments. He can sort it out with Ioi or Stof if that's the case.

That has to be the case, the comment at the top of the page was completely normal and then this. lol



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

The PS3 receives in december Blacksite Area 51 ,Unreal Tournament III and The Orange Box ...and debut january Haze .This should give the machine some credit in the eyes of the FPS-hungry north american gamers ....

Good sales for the PS3 ,it should do something better though to win the overall race .The holiday season started in PAL last week and will increase the next ones until the mass point in the days between 20 december to 5 january.Japan must also receive their boost in december and January .With that in count it should close somewhat the worlwide gap ,but to do it fast it need to get even closer to the 360 in NA .

Orange box for the Ps3 is only available for the us in december....all the others will have it in january...


Wrong ,Orange Box will be released in all countries except France and Germany for wich they are making the translation and will arrive there in January .I can assure you that in addition of US countries as UK and my own (Spain ) are definitely receiving it the 14 December .

 And yes ,Blacksite has been pretty much slaughtered by the critics .But it looks quite good and most people dont read specialized press .In any case the apparition of so much FPS in so few time will get the PS3 more attenttion by the FPS-savvy NA gamers .And Unreal III isnt appearing in the 360 anytime soon seeing that they havent even started the development .

I'm curious to see how the PS3 fares through the beginning of next year. Its price has been slashed again and I am interested to see how this will affect Sony's financials next year and whether the 360=PS3 trend will continue into next year.

If this parity continues, I can't see MS sitting on that $349 Pro for much longer. They should have plenty of wiggle room to get well under the PS3 price by now.

Galaxy still #1? Wow... nice.

I expect that Wii numbers are lower. Didnt hear about a great deal of stock arriving and any retailer with an advertisement starting Sunday (the 2nd) would have held stock until Sunday because of advertisements.

VGChartz dates for this week in NA was 11/25 through 12/1. The previous week would be effected as much because I suspect the stock was held for Black friday not the Sunday after Black friday.
