A Wii bonanza but PS3 is still all systems go
By: Stan Beer
OK I admit it. I was wrong about the Wii. We now have a Wii in our home (a present from a colleague) and it's a very cool console. However, even though Wii is slaughtering PS3 at the checkout counters and, despite all of its problems, including the high price and a lack of games, nearly 4 million PS3 consoles have still sold worldwide and its secret weapon is about to come into its own.

HD format wars get murkier, dirtier as EU gets involved
By: Stan Beer
It's no longer any secret that Blu-ray has taken a clear lead at the point of sale over its rival HD DVD high definition video format. No matter how you spin it, Blockbuster and Nielsen VideoScan report more Blu-ray than HD DVD discs being rented and sold. Sales and rentals are largely a factor of two things: high definition player sales and movie studio support. The latter is where things get murky, why the war is still not over and why the EU has entered the fight.

Is it possible the games don't matter anymore for PS3 to succeed?
By: Mike Bantick
Currently running a distant third in sales to the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii, is it possible Sony is batting out of their league in this generation of console wars? Time to shift emphasis away from games?

Sony fiddling on PS3 price cut while Rome burns
By: Stan Beer
There is a report from Japanese daily the Yomiuri Shimbun that Sony president Ryoji Chubachi has publicly said the company is not "ruling out the possibility" of lowering the price of the PS3.
