XBOX 360 selling 17% more last year than PS3

One of the main reasons why the PS3 hasn’t sold as much as the Xbox360 is mainly because of the economy. How much did Blu-Ray players go for when the PS3 was launched? More than the PS3 I believe. Blu-Ray was just being released to the public. Plus the Cell Processor; how many people knew what it was and what it could do at that time? It was a new technology to the public, with great capabilities. Our economy had a great effect as well. As the economy slumped, people didn’t want to spend as much money on something that was $400 – $500 as apposed to $250 – $300. With that price on hardware, it was hard for Sony to sell. Xbox had it easy, because by that time, everyone had an Xbox. Heck I had an Xbox, and still do…kinda.

Anyways just because the Xbox360 sold more units, or should I say 17% last year, doesn’t make it any better than the PS3 and or the 720 being better than the PS4. There very equal, with each having their ups and downs, pros and cons. I don’t like the Xbox360 interface, but I love the PS3’s. Xbox Live is more reliable than PS3’s online performance. The thing with that is that all Xbox360 games are run on Microsoft Servers, and PS3’s games are run on the servers of the developer who made that game. Then theres the red ring of death error. LOL EPIC FAIL! That has to be the most stupidest thing ever than a high end gaming system overheats and screws up. 33% of all of them! Come on man! Screw that, and then you had to wait 2 weeks to get a “refurbished” xbox? I hear some people have gone through at least 10 of them! I got it the other day, but I fixed it…smacked it with a wrench a few times…lol! I have heard little to no falures with the PS3. Then again both systems have their flaws, and so will the PS4 and the Xbox720, assuming those are the correct names.

It all really boils down to preference. Really guys, their equal. Xbox fanboys need to shut their yaps before I shut em permanently, and same goes for the PS fanboys, equally as annoying. Anyways, theirs my 2 sense, gotta run, criminology test today! Toodles!

3D Playstation Gaming Sooner Than Expected

3D Playstation gaming can be coming much faster than anyone had ever expected… With only about 40% of the current Playstation users utilizing the HD technology currently at their finger tips, no one was really expecting for Playstation to be pushing for the next generation display technology. But Sony is.

The Sony 3D Bravia is a 3D TV, yeah we said 3D… We have a video below from CES 2009 that talks about some of the progress that had been completed on the 3D TV, but word is Sony has come miles since this video was created.

This is far more than a rumor, or even spectulation… This is going to be in the next generation of console from Sony.

The Financial Times has a great report outlining some very key points about the future of Sony, and the 3D technology, but the most important quote for gamers is…

Due to speak today at the IFA technology trade show in Berlin, Sir Howard Stringer, Sony chief executive, will announce plans not only to sell 3D Bravia television sets, but to make Sony’s Vaio laptop computers, PlayStation 3 games consoles and Blu-ray disc players compatible with the technology.

Now read that carefully, they are referring to the Playstation 3 being a 3D console in the not too distant future… Is it a typo, speculation, were they referring to the Playstation 4, or are we really going to see changes of that magnitude to the Playstation 3? Many speculate that the Playstation 3 console will experience massive changes before the console is fazed out for the next generation.

Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer has been recorded stating the “3D train is on the track–and we’re the ones to drive it home.” This is just one more display of Sony wanting to push above and beyond the compitention and offer the best available gaming experience. Bringing the 3D technology to the Playstation 3 will bring in such a greater value on, what is already the best buy for your dollar, the third generation Playstation console.

With the IFA trade show just around the corner, we are likely to hear more very soon!
