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

Looks Breakable: New PS4 Concept Art
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.
