07.08.2007Review: dreamGEAR PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller
I stated in a past review that people prefer the Xbox 360 controller to the PS3's Dualshock. While this statement is controversial in regards to
the fact it will always be up for debate and comes down to personal preference, it appears yet another company that makes gaming peripherals agrees.
Presenting the PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller made by dreamGEAR. While the Shadow Wireless falls short of being a direct 360 controller clone, it is
without a doubt a great, albeit it pricey, alternative for those looking for a different controller to use with their PS3.

12.03.2008Japan: Wii Beats PS3 5-to-1 in May
Nintendo's dominance
continues, on both sides of
the Pacific. The latest sales
figures from Japan show that
the PS3 sold just over 50,000
units during May while the Wii
sold over 251K. The Nintendo
DS also outsold the PSP 5-to-1
during May.
While the
official numbers for the U.S.
in May are not yet available,
April did not treat the
PlayStation 3 very well. The
PS3 had its worst month,
selling only 82,000 units
compared to the Wii's
360,000.
Now business
publication Bloomberg is
reporting on new data from
Japan, indicating that PS3's
struggles are continuing.
According to Famitsu publisher
Enterbrain Inc., Nintendo sold
251,794 units of the Wii in
May while Sony sold only a
little over 50,000 units of
the PS3. This is an even
greater disparity than the
4-to-1 sales pace the Wii set
over the PS3 in April. ..

08.05.2008PS3 sales spike up 2700% on Amazon
It seems the US$100 price cut

US has sparked a PS3 comeback.
Suddenly the sales seem to be
coming for Sony. Lower the
price and they will come.

Amazon.com
Movers & Shakers screen
currently, the 60GB PS3 at the
new price is ranked number 2
in Video Game sales (was 26th)
with an increase in interest
of 2700 percent. The fragFX
for the PS3 is now ranked
number 1 with an increase of
25,480 percent.

would seem that the sales
valve has been released, all
those people patiently waiting
for this moment have rushed
online to purchase the next
generation of the PlayStation
brand.
Now that the
pricing question has been
answered, the next interest
will be in whether Sony makes
any money from the sales.
Hardware wise Sony lose money
on the PS3, now they are

10.07.2007Sony has no plans to cut PS3 price
Contrary to a report by
GameDaily earlier today in which they
reported on a July 12 $100
price cut, Sony's president
said on Friday that Sony has
no plans to cut the price of
the PS3 at present to pep up
demand and counter surging
sales of Nintendo's rival
game console Wii.
"At present we have no
plans," to cut the PS3 price,
Ryoji Chubachi told Reuters in
an interview.
Sony
has packed cutting-edge
technology such as a Blu-ray
high-definition optical disc
player into the PS3, driving
up production costs and making
its retail price more than
twice as expensive as the Wii.
The higher price tag
has been cited has one of the
main reasons the PS3 has been
trailing the Wii in sales, and
analysts have been widely
expecting Sony to soon slash
the price to spur on demand...

19.11.2007Report: Buyers Think PS3 Will be Under 跌
A report by Compete says that
48% of US gamers surveyed
think buying a PS3 will cost
under 跌 at launch, and
upon being told the actual
launch price 60% thought it to
be too expensive. It isn't
all bad for Sony though, 63%
of PS2 owners are thinking
about buying a PS3, where just
39% of Gamecube owners are
thinking of buying a Wii.
This survey would
imply that Playstation owners
are more loyal than Nintendo
ones, especially as 40% of
Gamecube owners questioned
said they were thinking of
buying a PS3 this time around.
The report by Compete also
looked at demand for consoles
on online retailing websites.
This month for the first time
demand for both the PS3 and
the Wii has exceeded that of
the Xbox 360. At present,
demand for the PS3 is the
highest in the US.
Now all US gamers
need is some PS3 consoles to
buy.

18.10.2006Report: PS3 $499 on July 12
Although Sony has yet to
confirm a price drop
officially, GameDaily BIZ has
received confirmation from the
retail sector that the PS3
will be dropped to $499 next
week. Sony itself recently
talked about "refining" the
PS3 price. Now it appears to
be happening.
A PS3
price cut rumor spread like
wildfire across the Internet
this afternoon when several
sites spotted a new
advertisement from Circuit
City. The ad as seen on Kotaku
lists the PS3 console at
$499.99, $100 less than its
current price.
It
wasn't clear at first if this
ad was a special deal specific
to the electronics retailer or
if it's indeed a retail-wide
price cut instituted by Sony
Computer Entertainment America
(SCEA). As it turns out, a
merchandising manager (who
wished to remain anonymous) at
one of the world's biggest
retailers has confirmed to
GameDaily BIZ that the price
drop is indeed retail-wide and
it's scheduled to take place
on July 12, although the first
wave of ads to promote the
PS3's new price won't kick
in until Sunday, July 15. ..
