Well, its been an interesting month hasnt it? Lots of figures coming out, lots of announcements, lots of rumours, and we havent even managed to get to the full on gaming events yet (CES is more of an electronics, show IMO, but it had some big news this year). Quite frankly, im going to praise Sony in this blog post because i think they deserve it. They took enough slack when they cocked things up (and boy, did they cock things up), so i think its only fair that we give acknowledgement and praise where its due.
Sony has really come out of the gate strong this year. if you wanted to see 2008 be the PS3s year, you couldn't ask for a better start. Lets recap shall we?
-WB goes BD exclusive
-Skype announced for PSP
-GPS announced for PSP
-In game XMB promised for 2008 (i suspect sooner rather than later)
-Gaming division makes profit
-Sony breaks even on PS3
-Worldwide figures show PS3 outselling 360 on 2007
To me, thats 3 months worth of good news at least. With GDC just around the corner, i cannot wait to see whats in store for us. Is the waiting finally over? I hope so...
