Chart-Track reported that PlayStation 3 rose 999 percent (exclamation point!) in the week of the PS3 Slim launch, but without some actual context, that's just a crazy-sounding percentage. MCV provides us some (partial) context, estimating that 40,000 PS3 Slims were sold in that period. This also means that a paltry 4,000 (ish) were sold the previous week. MCV arrived at that number ...read more

From Tai Chiem, the same designer who conceptualized XBox 720 comes this PS4. And here I've been thinking it was a baseball cap glued to a coffee table. Silly me. As the designer expects, the Playstation 4 will sport a high end touch screen rather than glossy body that the current generation gaming console sports.

Look down there, folks. That's the future of Sony's hopes and dreams in the handheld gaming sector. With just hours to go before the company's official E3 2009 press event, it looks like the pieces are all coming together.

According to the latest NPD Numbers, the Playstation 2 has beaten the Playstation 3 in number of console sales. That is not good news for Sony as the 9 year old console is kicking its less then 3 year old siblings butt.

Playstation 3. Not only that, but more this model could be cheaper as well. Earlier, we reported that developers have been asking for a price cut for some time now, and with E3 around the corner, looks like could be a possibility.
