Sony teases 20 new “gaming experiences” at E3

, May 8th 2012 Discuss [3]

For Nintendo, this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo will be all about new hardware - the Wii U was introduced last year but no one has really seen what its true potential - what it will actually bring to market on day one - is. So that's Nintendo; but what about Microsoft and Sony? They have a much bigger challenge if they want to prove their sexiness this year. There won't be a PS4, so what will Sony show?

White PlayStation Vita hitting Japan in June

, May 8th 2012 Discuss [2]

Black isn’t cool. You know what’s really cool? White. We’ve seen the pale color infect just about every gadget known to man, and now the PlayStation Vita will be the latest to be blessed with an all white exterior. For now it seems to be heading just to Japan, and you can expect to pay a pretty penny for the privilege. When it goes on sale in June, the WiFi version will cost ¥24,980 (~$313) while the 3G version will be ¥29,980 (~$375). Read The Full Story

Nintendo legend and video game industry icon Shigeru Miyamoto has come out strongly against Sony's new portable video game console. He said in a recent interview that the problem with the PlayStation Vita isn't that it's a poorly constructed device, but rather that it just isn't being executed properly. Nintendo certainly isn't one to suggest handheld game systems are on the way out, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. Read The Full Story

Toyota Scion iQ buyers get free PlayStation Vita

, May 3rd 2012 Discuss [3]

In what is quite an unexpected promotion and one that is not really likely to drum up excitement for the Toyota Scion iQ or the PlayStation Vita, Toyota is now giving customers who buy the world's smallest four seater a free Vita as soon as they close the sale. It's part of a growing partnership between Toyota and Sony, one that is probably more about getting in-dealer presence than it is about the actual promotions involved. Read The Full Story

, Apr 27th 2012 Discuss [13]

Out of an audience that you might expect to be just about the most captive audience you could imagine, only 30% are flocking to Sony's PlayStation Vita handheld. That audience is the world of PS3 owners. And not just any PS3 owners, but some of the most ardent PlayStation fans on the market. It isn't great news for Sony, but there is still much room to grow. Will it be able to, though? That's the question. Read The Full Story

Sony PlayStation Vita is struggling, big time

, Apr 16th 2012 Discuss [29]

Sony just set a new record this week. But this isn't the kind of thing it wants to be making news for. The PlayStation Vita has just set a new bar for the worst week in its sales history in Japan. It's a symbol of how slow the rate of interest has been for the device, but perhaps also it is just a representation of a sluggish video game industry as a whole. After all, in March, in the US video game sales were down by around 25%, a huge downward spiral even though the massive hit game Mass Effect 3 was released. Read The Full Story

Sony yanks Vita firmware update after release
