While Nintendo has already dived face first into the eighth generation of gaming, and Microsoft looking to take the plunge soon, PlayStation boss Kaz Hirai said PS3 is “growing with the times” and will continue to do some.

Following the February games industry figures released by NPD, Sony’s responded, this time releasing figures. The firm said it’s sold more than 50 million PS3s, and as of April 3rd, over 8 million Move Controllers.
All the hate for Acitivision circulating gaming circles is “a little bit too strong,” says the publisher’s co-founder Alan Miller. He also admits that the publishing business isn’t as easy as it looks.
While fanboys and gamecats wage war in the name of Microsoft and Sony’s gaming boxes, PlayStation software senior brand manager Scott McCarthy’s taken a different stand on the matter.
For him, beating Microsoft’s install base is an afterthought, the real goal for them is to make tons of cash.
According to Sony Computer Entertainment Japan president Hiroshi Kawano, Next Generation Portable “isn’t something that’s driven solely by us at SCE.”
Sony’s PS3 and PSP didn’t realize any growth over last year, however both consoles enjoyed significant gains in the software department. And on the global install base front, PS3′s set to overtake the Xbox 360.
According to Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 Kinect bundles outsold Sony’s PS3 PS Move bundles by a margin of 5 to 1.
My goodness. In the month on December alone, Microsoft sold almost 2 million Xbox 360 units in the United States according to the NPD, completing what was the Xbox’s division biggest year thus far.
It’s been four weeks since Halo: Reach was released, four short weeks, and like an unstoppable wave crashing onto land, the game has made its mark in North America as one of the most popular, best selling franchises in history.

Ah ha, so that’s how it’ll work, then. I’m talking about the wireless “tag mode” on Nintendo’s 3DS, which allows gamers to take the battle to the streets with any stranger.
It’s demonstrated with Street Fighter IV for the 3DS, and I must say I’m impressed. See if you’ll feel the same past the break.
The NPD software numbers are in, and once there’s a football game released with the name Madden on it in America, everything else must take a backseat.
NPD has released its videogames sales results for the month of July, and in the software department, America football is still the nation’s number one sport, even in the gaming world. The PC stole the cake though, proving once said market is standing strong.
Run past the break.
Just like the PS2, PS3′s now rocking the house. Sony’s full Q1 results past the break shows why you never judge a story in its initial stages, friends, never.
The NPD group delayed its May Videogames sales results until the month of July, but just like that it’s upon us. Find the software sales results past the break.
