Sony uses PGR3 screens in GT4 ads.

I know, it's meaningless, but I chuckled anyway.

On a completely non-related note-Sales figures for April:

  • Nintendo DS: 471,000
  • Wii: 360,000
  • PlayStation 2: 194,000
  • PlayStation Portable: 183,000
  • Xbox 360: 174,000
  • GameBoy Advance: 84,000
  • PlayStation 3: 82,000
  • GameCube: 13,000

    How is the PS2 still selling so much, and even more than the 360?

    I'm a bit suprised with the DS... it actually disappointed me a bit.

    Gamecube doesn't suprise me at all.

    Gamecube kinda shocked me.  Cause you can just buy a Wii and that plays all gamecube games.  Maybe its the price like Elvis said about the ps2.

    Not to mention the gigantic game library, the general accessibility of the games, and the fact that are really good games being released and about to be released for it (i.e. God of War 2 and Manhunt 2).

    The DS kind of surprises me-I guess it makes a decent gift, and it's popular with kids, but 471,000?

    NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

    well does the DS have any good games for it? same with PSP?

    As for the PGR3 thing, thats great. Clearly sony wants you to get PGR3 since its the same as GT4. I havent played any car games since GT2 but I think i'll get Forza 2.
