  • Sony sales numbers reveal surging PS3, waning PSP

    Sony sales numbers reveal surging PS3, waning PSP

    Sony just released the numbers from the last fiscal year (April 1, 2009 to March 31, 2010). The good news (for Sony and its shareholders, at least) is that PS3 sales were up quite a bit from the previous year, going from 10.1 million sold to 13 million this year. The bad news is that PSP sales have hit a bump in the road, going from 14.1 million in to 9.9 million. Translating those numbers into English, that means that the PS3 is doing a heck of a lot better than it ever was, and that the PSP, well, isn't.

    Sony offers extended warranties for PS3, PSP

    Looks like Sony now offers extended warranties for the PS3 and PSP. It's not free, of course, but it's not like the prices outrageous either, with prices ranging from $30 to $60.

    Sony: “The PS3 is all the 3D gaming you need and you better like it.” (or something like)

    Yesterday's Nintendo 3DS took everyone by surprise. Who expected that Nintendo would announce its next big thing on a random Tuesday in March. Not us. Curious what Sony has to say about it? Well, basically don't expect a 3D PSP anytime soon.

    “Jill Stuart Sweet Package”: Japan gets very cute, very pink PSP

    Sony seems to believe in the power of pink PSPs. Not even four weeks after giving us the PSP-3000 Blossom Pink, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan today announced [JP] another pink PSP for the Japanese market. Dubbed "Jill Stuart Sweet Limited Package", this new special edition was designed in collaboration with American fashion Jill Stuart.

    Those wacky Europeans will be getting a God of War III PS3 bundle. It doesn't look any different than a standard-issue PS3.

    Want a free PSP? Join the Royal Navy!

    What a coup for Sony's marketing men. The Royal Navy will be handing out PSPs to its sailors so that they can brush up on their maths and whatnot. The PSP was selected because it'll work wonders in the closed, confined spaces of Navy quarters.

    Video: Some kid makes the PSP that Sony should have made 5 years ago

    Sony would do well to hire the man who put this PSP mod together. It's basically what the PSP should have been since Day One: a built-in camera, 32GB of flash memory, and a second analog stick. Well, you have to stretch the definition of analog stick here; it's that nub thing.

    Make music: The PSP version of Beaterator is available today. iPhone users have to wait a little while yet.

    Rockstar's Beaterator comes out today (and so does Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days... you couldn't find two more different publishers in Rockstar and Square Enix) for the PSP. We've highlighted it in the past because A) Timbaland is one of the better “big name” producers out there and B) I have spent more than a few hours in Ableton Live and the like. It's familiar territory, in other words.

    Tokyo Game Show: Undead Knights for PSP (video)

    I took the chance at Koei Tecmo's booth at the Tokyo Game Show and played Undead Knights on the PSP for a while. As the name suggests, the game is about zombies. And there are knights, lots of them, who you can turn into zombies and let them kill off enemies for you. Undead Knights is PSP-exclusive and will go on sale in Japan on October 15 (USA: September 29).

    Tokyo Game Show: First impressions and a look at Sony’s and Ubisoft’s booth

    I just came back from this year's Tokyo Game Show and must say I am pretty disappointed with the show this year. There were hardly any highlights, Sony didn't show their motion controller anywhere after the announcement during their keynote (picture of the device below/more info later) and staff members often didn't let me shoot any pictures or videos (which I did anyway if there was the chance). Here are some pictures from two booths of the show. The picture on the left shows the final event of the first day (Sunday is the final day). More material from the Tokyo Game Show follows today and tomorrow.

    Shock: The Gran Turismo PSP bundle isn’t half-bad

    Credit to Sony for actually putting together a reasonably good PSP bundle. Starting on October 1, for $199, you can buy a bundle that includes the PSP-3000 (not the PSP Go, mind you), a copy of Gran Turismo PSP, a voucher to download a Corvette ZR1 in an exclusive-to-this-bundle color, a 2GB memory stick, a PSN movie downloadable voucher (movie hasn't been announced yet), and a Sony MusicPass that's worth 10 downloadable songs. Not too shabby.
