Nintendo Wii U version of the Rayman Legends has actually sold better than the PS3 and 360 versions. Rayman Legends is in the multi-format chart at number 6. However, looking at sales on individual formats — rather than combined totals for the game across all three — the Wii U version comes in at position 14. By way of comparison, the Xbox 360 version is 18th in the chart and the PS3 20th. Unsurprisingly, it topped the Wii U sales chart.

Whore of The Orient in trouble.

It's been pretty much confirmed that the PS4 camera has voice and facial recognition.

The Halo trailer shown for xbox one has been updated and now shows a Halo 5 logo, and the xbox one is unlikely to support external hard drives at launch. Also only day one edition's of the xbox one will come with FIFA 14, it's just how long will there be day one editions is the question.

So Microsoft have bought Nokia.

Rumours that the xBox One is now going to be rnamed the xBox 3310 are unfounded.

All Xbox Ones to be sold with a free copy of Snake.

Gunlord from NG:DEV.TEAM , is coming to Wii U & 3DS if there goal is matched. More Info here

Sony is planning to show of a VR Headset more info on the link. Could be way to differentiate the two big black boxes, but it depends on price and how much it adds to the gaming experience for me to buy one.

More PS4 news over 50 games will be shown at TGS, TimeSplitters Rewind might becoming to PS4.

Rayman Legends on Vita is missing 28 stages.

GAME are offering £40 trade in for a current gen game if you upgrade to next gen version, offer ends Dec 24th.

Ten minutes apart. Same thread. Mas, there is an edit button.

I did edit lol, did have about 4 post's. I was thinking about putting those together but as one is nintendo and ones Sony thought I'd keep separate.

Sony perhaps looking to coast off the hype of the oculus rift then, depite hearing good things about it I still don't see VR taking off for two reasons, the cost & its limited in terms of only working best with certain genres of games.

His method, we have some text, them some more text underneath it.

Yours, we have some text, then some more text underneath it.

Not really seeing the big upset.

Between the post count-boosting and the re-highlighting of the "new post in this thread" icon, it just seems a bit attention-seeky when the edit button is available.  I know that's not what Mas was trying to do though.

I do kinda see his point, but if we're using the same thread for different consoles, I think they could share the same post. Eh, just my opinion.

Driveclub is the game there testing it on, I could see working with a racer and something like a fps but not a 2d platformer.

Or... not.

So, a dude is deliberately putting female characters in skimpy outfits to encourage girls to cosplay up?
I'm good with that.

In fairness, he was talking about making a numbered MGS starring The Boss. If that actually happens, it could be greatand fairly feminist. As long as she learns how to do up her front zipper.

So the date is November 22 which is a special day in Xbox history - on this day, the launched Xbox 360 in 2005. 79 days, in till Xbox One becomes available. So in USA it's a week after PS4, in EU it's the week before. Will the week head start matter for either.

Nah. A week's hardly going to make a difference - a few months, maybe, but not a week.

If anything, launching a week apart will probably hurt both consoles. Nobody can afford both, I'm sure.

I can't afford either.

Mind you, I am dropping a lot of money on a new gaming laptop so...

The lack of a gap seems like it will hit Microsoft harder in my opinion. Sony completely and utterly messed up the launch with the Playstation 3, yet ended up closing the gap Microsoft established to the point they were about even in regards to sales, with Sony so close to the competition this time with a clear showing they have learned their lesson with the ps3 can't help but feel Microsoft will be the ones feeling the pinch as time goes on.

I could be wrong though, we'll see. One thing's for sure, I'm not touching either system any time soon. Both had horrible death rates before thier revisions, and like all launch consoles they both lack on games that have any sway over me, especially when the previous generation of systems still have some very big games coming out for them.

The PS3 has now over took the 360, so shows a year head start and a crappy launch means nothing.

What are these big games on current gen, only thing I can think of is beyond two souls with the 3rd party titles being cross gen.

GAME has stopped selling the FIFA bundle, now has the same deal but with FORZA 5 also now sold out all you can buy from them now is the two call of duty bundles, I'm surprised the cheap COD bundle hasn't sold out. Ooh yeah you can put a preorder in for the next wave after launch.

The PS4 is still available to buy on there, even though Sony has said the cut of point for launch preorder was Aug 9th. But might just be there's more PS4 made as production started sooner then xbox one's which only started last week.
