BusinessWeek's Stephen Wildstrom has one of the best jobs in the world -- he gets to play with the latest high tech gadgets and then talk about them in his Tech&You column every week. For the Dec. 4 issue, Wildstrom reviews what has become the envy of early adopters, hardcore fanboys, and extortion artists everywhere: the PlayStation 3.
While he states up front that it will take months to determine the success of PS3, Wildstrom declares Sony's new console a winner on the gaming front...
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
You should probabaly accurately quote his title saying "PS3 is a winner" instead of "PS3 is winner". It is very misleading and implies something that will start some heated flaming on both ends.
Regardless it is another individual's perspective and doesn't really account for news, although his view on the other media capabilities is interesting since that is his area of expertise.
Should probabaly trash this article.
of course is the ps3 the winner! it is the best hardware with the best games!
The PS3 will be the loser. It is being outsold by the Wii and 360, and the 360 is outselling all of them. I guess the launch of these consoles didn't hurt the 360's sales. It probably help the 360 sales seeing the lackluster graphics and games on the PS3.
Any real gamer knows not to take seriously a review made by a non-gamer. Considering the fact that Sony fanboys are not getting positive feedback from gamers or major game sites they have no choice but to stand by people like this one that knows sh** about games. Sony fanboys should be embarrass of using this guy comments to prove the PS3 is a winner.
What world do you live in Bladestar? (and don't say the real world, 'cause you obviously don't live there).
