For the first time in 16 months the ‘George Foreman like’ PS3 has outsold the Nintendo Wii. The PS3 shifted 146,948 units compared to 99,335 Wiis, reported publishing firm Enterbrain.
While some are saying its only a ‘one-off’, it’s certainly looking well for the Sony console. The Wii is dominating the global market, and we all know that, but the PS3 does appear to be finally gathering steam. The Xbox 360 on the other hand is a different story where only 43,172 units were shifted. To be fair though, that was in the Japanese market where the 360 is not as dominant as it is throughout the USA and Europe.
Intersting times ahead for games consoles indeed. BBC
While this isn’t exactly a new story, I stumbled across this earlier this week when randomly searching the internet super highway. I have ALWAYS loved lego and thoroughly enjoy playing with it. And it would appear that the creator of the Lego PS1 also does.
The console is fully working which is impressive. I wonder whether he has to turn the console upside down like I used to have to in order to play games?! Check out more info over here.
With the latest firmware release fresh in our minds I got wondering about the firmware updates that i REALLY want. I personally would love to see a bit of MS Exchange email support in there, and also in-game audio chatting. When I used to have a 360 I would quite often just chat to my mates outside the game so as to not listen to all the annoying people singing down the mic.
So, what would you really want in a firmware update then? Feel free to vote, and if your option isn’t there leave us a comment, its always nice to know.
Sony today announced the latest firmware update for the PS3 – v2,70. Among the features is the ability to have ‘text chat’ between friends whilst in-game. You can enter three rooms simultaneously, and chat rooms can have up to 16 participants in them.
Sony have also allowed you to now send bigget files between friends, which is nice! 
Not an amazing update…I think we were all hoping for a little more such as actual voice chat during games but oh well. At least the slow progress means Sony is listening, they’re just not very quick at doing. Check out playstation.com for all the nitty-gritty details. Here’s hoping the next update is something better, although I seem to find myself saying that with every update.
