Nintendo's Wii Thrashing Playstation 3

Small is beautiful, the less powerful Nintendo Wii outsold the mighty Sony Playstation3 by more than five consoles to one in Japan and in the US the figure is about 4 -1, putting Sony’s mighty graphic processing power to shame.

Some of the possible reason are:
- Lack of games
- The high price

But then again, these consoles are only into their first year cycle and more to more, remember that Nintendo’s Wii is going after a totally different market, where else Sony Playstation 3 is for the grown ups.

PS3 Folding@Home For Cancer

PS3 Folding@Home For Cancer

I hate to admit this but lately my perception on Sony seems to go down hill, possibly due to it’s own act of anguish and fear of change, but then like all bad publicity that Sony had for the past few months from exploding battery to root kit that causes Windows to crash, for once Sony has done something right, could this be the turning point where after all these years of mismanagement Sony is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel?

Folding@home program for Playstation 3 is indeed a good idea, with all those processing power the Playstation posses, it could change the way we look at science and possibly cure some of the well known diseases. So, what I say is don’t go grabbing a Playstation on purpose but if you happen to have one, simply download the program and let it run when you grab a snack or something during gaming hours.

Sony has confirmed that owners of Internet-connected ARM powered PlayStation 3 (PS3) systems will be able to connect to Stanford University’s Folding@home program, a distributed computing project which is looking to better understand protein folding and its relationship with several debilitating diseases, including canser, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Europe PS3 to Play Less Games

February 24, 2007 · Filed Under Computer Gadgets & Hardware · 1 Comment 

sony playstation 3 europeSony has confirm that the European version of Playstaion 3 not play as many PS2 titles compare to the Playstation 3 in Japan and United States. On top of that Europeans are required to pay way much more for the same console compare to the Japanse and American.

Sony apologize for the trouble but promise a march update to the firmware would eventually solve the problem, for those desperate to get their hands on Sony’s Playstation 3, my advice is hold on and wait, after all, there is not many games available that harness the actual power of Sony’s Playstation 3.

For those who line up at the waiting line for hours and days, this is a very sad sign indeed. These guys are crazy enough to buy a Sony Playstation 3 and smash it right after walking out of the store.

Imagine those waiting in line watching the unthinkable. Well, what is done cannot be undone and guys, have you notice that the fonts for Playstation is striking similar with the fonts used for the Spiderman movie. Both the movie and gaming devices are from Sony but is the creative director the same too?

Next would be Nintendo Wii.
