Lost n Damned outsold Killzone 2..

[SCiARA]

Speaking to Gamasutra, Xbox 360 product management director Aaron Greenberg said: “Xbox continues to head north while the PS3 is heading south. We're gaining share.”

Buoyed by the recent news of a significant 53 per cent sales boost for the 360 year on year and a record number of downloads for Lost and the Damned DLC.

“If that content (Lost and the Damned) had sold at retail, it would have been one of the best sellers across all platforms. It would have outsold Killzone 2.”

Sony's PS3 business does appear to be struggling as it announced a two per cent drop in sales in February compared to last year even with the release of the massively hyped Killzone 2, Greenberg put this down to the credit crunch.

“You can't underestimate that we're half the price of the PS3 at a time when consumers were looking for great value."

"But what we hear from our partners is that it's not just PS3, it's also PS2 down 62 percent year over year, with that business declining, and with the PS3 business declining, it's been described to me as haemorrhaging at retail right now, and it just keeps getting worse."

"What we're finding in our research is that a large portion of the volume we're driving with Xbox 360 purchasers is actually PS2 owners choosing Xbox for the next generation. We're switching people from the PlayStation brand over to the Xbox brand."

"We're hearing the same early returns for Resident Evil," Greenberg noted. "Not only is [Resident Evil 5] selling more, but we did a limited edition Elite bundle with that as well -- so we've obviously benefited from having this deep partnership with Capcom, and we're excited to have the Resident Evil franchise for the first time ever on our platform," he said. "That follows in the steps of [franchises like] Grand Theft Auto -- and we all know Final Fantasy is coming -- that have been historically associated with PlayStation."

Expect a Sony Exec to indirectly reply shortly.

Ouch! The phrase "Sticking the boot in." springs to mind.

PS3 will last you ten years - Sony

Sony US exec Peter Dille says PlayStation 3 will be the "centrepiece of your entertainment for the next 10 years."
Speaking to Gamedaily, Dille said that taken over its entire lifespan PlayStation 3 offers excellent value.

"The fact of the matter is we’re the only console manufacturer that’s ever launched a product that’s had a 10-year life-cycle. And we’ve done that now not once, but twice." the exec told GameDaily. "One of the great things about the PS3 is that if you buy it today you can be confident it’s going to be the centrepiece of your entertainment for the next 10 years. Economically, that’s a great value."

I guess there not shouting quite so loud about this?

Rockstar is working to fix the South Central downloadable content for Xbox 360 owners of Midnight Club: Los Angeles.

Due yesterday, the update was held back because of "an unforeseen bug". PS3 players had no such problems, and are happily whizzing through the South Central streets now.

"The Xbox 360 version of Midnight Club: Los Angeles South Central, set to release on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network [yesterday], has not yet gone live on Xbox Live due to an unforeseen bug in the title update," says Rockstar in a statement.

"We are currently working as quickly as we can to resolve this issue, and we will notify everyone as soon as the DLC is made available."

South Central adds new vehicles, parts and customisation tools, plus a map expansion that introduces four new neighbourhoods. The beefed-up premium version can be fetched for GBP 7.99 / EUR 9.99 from the PS Store. The map expansion, however, is free.

Do yu know how dissapointed I am. I was waiting for that DLC for ages!!! Damn you R*!!!

Extra map area for free... Wahoo, didn't know that was coming (even if it will be late). I've been loving this game lately. Never have I played such a difficult yet rewarding arcade racer. it's left me saying 'just one more try' more times than Geomatry Wars 2.

Everyone's moaning about that it's difficult when it clearly isn't.

I'd say it's more difficult than your average arcade racer (certainly the latest Need For Speed) especially when you step up to yellow races and the traffic increases by about double but tbh, that's what I wanted. If you don't pull off a near perfect race then you have to restart, just like in all my favourite racers. You just have to get to a level where your thumbs are twitching to take you around an oncoming car before your brain has chance to fully realise what it's doing. It's like Jedi racing man!

Don't know what stage you're at but I can imagine it gets easier as you unlock more cars and parts. I seem to be at a stage where I leave everyone for dust in green races but am about the same speed as the competition in yellow ones: meaning one major-ish feck up and I'm restarting.

Add me to your list if tou want, I've not tried the MP yet.

Me I finished the game in January I've got all the achievements as well 1000GS!!! I'll add you, let's hope we'll see each other in South Central. ALso there's one or two multi achievement that I can help with.
