The anticipated release of Hot Shots Golf 5 for PlayStation 3 more than doubled sales of Sony's game console this week in Japan, which turned out to be the final boost it needed to get over one million units.
A momentous landmark, but far off the mark from what Sony expected. Had you suggested at the PS3's launch that Sony would be logging their millionth domestic sale in August -- ten months later -- you'd have been laughed out of the room.
It's being noted all around that Hot Shots Golf did well for a PlayStation 3 game, which is a compliment of the for-a-fat-person-you-don't-sweat-much variety. It moved over 150,000 units, which is one of the biggest PS3 game launches yet.
To hear some people talk you’d think sport starts and ends with football. Obviously that’s not the case so here are 8 of the best non-footy athletic activities. From face kicking to golf. Yes, golf.
Couple of weeks back Play revealed its favourite underpants ever, and now it’s time to discuss favourite socks.
I wish they would make a new Hot Shots/Everybody's Golf game or at least at some new courses.

Just thought I'd update you on some more pan-European Golf tournaments that we've got coming up for Everybody's Golf: World Tour (EGWT)."
I wish they would translate, and get this game shipped out to the rest of us pronto! I love Hot Shots Golf.
