Playstation 3
admin - Thursday, November 22, 2007
The console that could! The PS3 has been blitzing headlines on game sites over the few last weeks, the doom and gloom predicted by rivalling fanboys has all but come true for the 10 year system.
- Shock Horror! The PS3 outsells the almighty Nintendo Wii for the second week straight.
- Unreal Tournament 3 has gone gold in the US, and will be shipped (in the US) before christmas.
- The Playstation3 has actually matched first year sales of its arch-rival the Xbox 360.
- With one year under the PS3's belt, how does it stack to its predecessors?
I think this is great news for Sony and the gaming community in general, as consumers – we will directly reap the benefits of this fierce competition and push the manufacturers and game designers to the limit.

- Assassin's Creed is also been said to have been released a wee bit early for Australians, with Game Traders selling the heavily anticipated title a few days earlier than the 'official' November 21 release for Australia. This has yet to be confirmed (most likely after a lunch time stroll to Game Traders).
