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.
Game Rant sits down with developers from Blackbird Interactive to talk about how Homeworld 3 looked to the franchise's main selling points.
GB: "Resident Evil Village is three years old now, and looking back, it’s still a game that fills me with immense joy."
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
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.
