The PlayStation Network's success in Europe has been a surprise to David Reeves, President of SCEE. In an interview he reveals "We've now got about 2 million PSN registrations. That's about 40 per cent of users." Which means that, using his figures, approximately 5 million PlayStation 3 consoles have been sold in Europe.
He also reveals that the PlayTV DVR add on will launch in 5 EU territories in late April, and Home is on track for a Spring release.
Things are heating up in May a bit with Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, the Paper Mario TTYD remake, and a ton of promising indies. We pick the most interesting May games, from AAA to indie, so you can make sense of everything coming out.
Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.
Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.
One example

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.
Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...
TimeShift had a fairly muted launch in 2007, and while it doesn't rewrite the FPS rulebook it does offer an enjoyable campaign even now.
Never heard of this game until someone mentioned it here last year. Played it and it basically represents most games from the PS3/Xbox360 era—good graphics, amazing physics, and extremely fun gameplay (time powers rock), but barely any story, weird pacing, and at least one annoying AF level. I finished Prototype last week and the same applies, except Strike Teams. Fuck Strike Teams.
I miss when ganes used to experiment with physics and world interaction
Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.
Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.
That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.
Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.
I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.
Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all
Of multiple accounts? :o
"We don’t often mention competition but I will give you some interesting data. In terms of installed base in some of our major markets, such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy, plus some distributor territories in smaller markets like Switzerland, our current cumulative installed base is now higher than that of Xbox 360.
It has not quite yet reached that in the UK. But the team here expect to overtake installed base of Xbox 360 across PAL territories in late summer. I would say before, but that is when we think we will overtake Xbox 360.
It’s worth mentioning that last week we outsold Xbox 360 in PAL territories by a ratio of 3:1."
Nuff said. 360 is dead by January 2009. Sony's dominating Japan, dominating Europe. All that's left is North America. And, games like GT5: Prolouge, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2, LittleBigPlanet and HOME will all be perfections that will murder the Xflop.
Is the PlayStation 3 doing better than we think it is? I suppose you could argue the installbase now is just over 10million globally.
Sony should really be grateful to Europe. Yet we always get the short end of the stick as a thankyou.
Home is on track for a Spring release!!!
It's not any surprising news to Dark Sniper to see PLAYSTATION® 3 selling 5 million consoles in less than one year in European territories. When you manufacture a technological powerhouse that includes all of the features that gamers want and need, it's easy to understand why XBOX 360 is nothing more than an afterthought in Europe.
Microsoft has placed themselves in a state of emergency due to the intelligence or lack thereof of their console manufacturers and designers. With XBOX 360's dying quicker than the rate of human deaths worldwide, consumers are becoming more aware of the failures by Microsoft.
