How impressive has Sony been in the past month? Settling the dispute with Immersion makes the SIXAXIS Dual Shock a short-term possibility. Replacing the Emotion chip in PS3s is not only a cost cutting move, but also one which may allow Sony to do some nifty tricks with backwards compatibility functionality. And although Sony is [...]

This Much Is True
There is a lot of conjecture regarding the negative press on the PS3′s launch in North America, and even Japan to an extent. And there have been those who have defended the PS3 launch despite the speculation because of the lack of substantial evidence in its favor. Well, it’s weird that over the course of [...]
PS3 = Emu
We were warned, and we all laughed. Now we are drooling at the PS3′s Trojan horse. Yes, the PS3′s hard drive can be partitioned to run multiple operating systems. And as long as an OS supports the Cell processor, the PS3 would in theory have access to a plethora of applications which would undoubtedly render [...]
The PS3 Won’t Kill the Industry…
…it will only kill Sony. Yes, the PS3 is expensive. Yes, the price will shun some would-be consumers. But no way will it hurt the industry, as some analysts are predicting. See, I don’t know if anyone remembers this but we used to be a two-console society. Three if you count the Gameboy. But now [...]
Let’s See if Size Matters…
As I had written before, I did not believe the size of the original Xbox was a deterrent to Japanese consumers. I still believe that, but now something will test that theory. It is reported the size of the PS3 is large – by some accounts, a little bigger than the original Xbox. But yet [...]

Yeah, flying an airplane by leaning the controller every which way is a unique experience in concept, but it will fail in execution. Not that it’s a last-minute addition, and that developers will [...]
E3 2006 – Thoughts from the Pre-Show
Lumines Live will be the next Geometry Wars. Did anyone catch that the Halo 3 demo was done with Xbox 360 hardware? They actually had the demo realtime behind closed doors. Pretty sweet. G4 sucks. Officially. Again. Kevin Pereira is an annoying talking head that needs to be fragged, Doom-style. His smiling mug wants to [...]
E3 2006 – Microsoft Wins the Console War (or Maybe Nintendo)
But the moral of the story is, it won’t be Sony. I’m not a fanboy. I own lots of consoles, and buy them for the games, not the name. But in this day and age when money can be tight, I made made my investment in the Xbox 360, mainly because I had made the [...]
