Why Copy?
As the gaming industry is growing every year and has surpassed the music and movie business, game companies are being pressured to come up with the knew "thing" that will amaze both gamers and non gamers alike. But as this is going on we continue to see the three gaming giants, that being Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft come up with similar ideas to due to coping and reiterating the idea. In my opinion (KillZone4190) instead of companies such as Microsoft, who is doing most of the copying such as the new dashboard interface and the avatars, they should block and not pay attention to the other competitors and focus on coming up with a fresh and rejuvenating idea that Nintendo and Sony would have never imagined. I mean theirs no point of having an avatar if you cant do much with it. Now Im not saying Sony has not copied either,they have there own version of achievements, but these are multi-billion dollar corporations people, i think they could spend a few bucks on something new

Sony's Playstation 3 is back on track
heStreet reports on their industry view of Sony and other industry players in this article about Sony's strategy and the results shown in the latest NPD numbers:
"Sony's latest PlayStation 3 console has stretched its lead over rival Microsoft's Xbox 360 last month, though it still lags behind Nintendo's Wii system, according to industry research firm The NPD Group.
Sony sold 405,500 PS3s, compared to 219,800 Xbox 360s but still has a long way to go before it catches up with the Wii, which sold 666,700 systems last month."
"Sony stumbled when it launched the expensive PS3 console a year-and-a-half ago and trailed its competitors for months. That's in contrast to its position as the clear market leader with the older PlayStation 2 console."

Sony Releases PlayStation Sales Numbers
Many people have been doubting the growth and even the eventual success of the PlayStation name brand after slumping sales to begin the PS3 life, but recent sales may have turned them away. We have the official sale numbers right here for your viewing, and to be honest they don’t look bad at all.
The sale growth has not only gained impressive numbers on the PS3 console but Sony is seeing tremendous improvements along all 3 consoles on the board. PS3 Hardware Sales Exceed 311% Year-Over-Year with total PlayStation unit sales over the 405,000 mark. The sales of the Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle were a major help to the PS3 sales, and even beat out Xbox 360 sales by 84%. This year, the PlayStation name brand has already had a 90% sales increase year by year.
The overall growth in sales in June were 311% with a month to month growth of 94%. The exclusive Metal Gear Solid title was also the best selling video game with over 774,000 copies sold in the month of June. Other titles have also had a 300% growth with the PS3 hardware as well, which does not include the Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle. The PlayStation Network has also gained over 10 million account world wide with over 180 million downloads already purchased.
While this is amazing news on a business standpoint, this only marks the beginning for the PlayStation 3. With Metal Gear Solid 4 just the first blockbuster title to come out this year, we can expect sales to keep rising with such titles as Socom Confrontation, MotorStorm Pacific Rift, and the long awaited Resistance 2 hitting store shelves later this year.
With this exciting news, we can only expect Sony to keep delivering the goods.

EA expects PS3 to outsell 360 in 2008
Wii to dominate console sales with Sony's flagship console cementing second place
Electronic Arts has released estimates of what it thinks will be the range of hardware sales in North America and Europe through 2008, and while the Wii unsurprisingly leads, it's the PlayStation 3 that will hold a strong second place.
That will, according to the estimates, be particularly true in Europe, where EA expects the PlayStation 3 to sell between 5 and 6 million units across the year, compared to just 1.5-2.5 million for the Xbox 360.
That means that while the company thinks the two will tie in North America on 4.5 to 5.5 million unit sales, the two sets of numbers combined give Sony's flagship console a compelling 3.5 million lead.
The report predicts the Nintendo Wii will win the year, with a combined total of between 12 and 14 million units sold, while the PlayStation 2 will continue on its long tail drop-off, shifting between 3.9 and 4.9 million units.
That yields a total home console sales estimate for the two regions of between 31.4 and 38.4 million units.
The report also gives estimates for the year's handheld sales as well, noting the company's belief that it expects the Nintendo DS to outsell the PlayStation Portable by over 2-to-1.
According to the numbers the DS should shift between 14 and 16 million units, while the PSP will sell around 6 to 8 million units, giving a combined handheld total for the year of between 20 and 24 million.
Combined console estimates for 2008 are as follows:
Nintendo Wii: 12-14 million
PlayStation 3: 9.5-11.5 million
Xbox 360: 6-8 million
PlayStation 2: 3.9-4.9 million
Combined handheld estimates for 2008 are as follows:
Nintendo DS: 14-16 million
PlayStation Portable: 6-8 million
