In recent reports it was revealed that the 360 was “beating PS3 in Europe.” As simple as it may sound, Sony has moved to dispel Microsoft claims revealing internal figures that say its console has sold 300,000 more units than Xbox 360 in PAL territories.

And the company also doesn’t feel it has to follow Microsoft and further ignite consumer interest with a price cut of its own anytime soon. Sony will remain focused on the value offered by the PS3 and its extra functions and services.

“No we are not going to go down in price; neither are we going to go down in price on PS3 in spring time either. Absolutely not, whatever you might have heard to the contrary,” said SCEE president David Reeves.

“Our strategy is very much value added.” Reeves added. Sony’s business model for the console isn’t designed around dropping the RRP every time a manufacturing cost saving has been found. And he was keen to point out that, according to Sony figures, the PS3 is already ahead of Microsoft’s rival.

First it was "Blu-ray is the wave of the future" now Sony seems to think that the "disc-based delivery system will fall". According to a report giving by the guys over at Destructoid, SCEE president David Reeves said, at a developer conference in London, that the future is the PlayStation Network. At the conference he also gave some internal figures that showed over 40 per cent of PS3 owners download games direct to their machines.

"We do believe that the disc-based delivery system will fall as the power of the network base rises. At the same time, the overall industry growth will continue to go upwards as we push out into emerging markets."

In the last day or so we have observed many gameplay videos for Sony’s upcoming game Killzone 2. Has we set here at home we note all the video we have seen so far this game is nothing short of a hit. The game has to be one of best looking games I have ever seen on the playstation 3. The videos we have seen so far doesn’t suprised me because has we all know we have been waiting for Killzone 2 a long time and Sony wants it’s fans to know the full power of the PlayStation 3.

This game is truly going to put the PlayStation 3 to the test and has has to be my vote for game of the year for 09 many other year’s after that. We cannot wait to acquire our hands on the game in early 2009 so be sure to pick it up. I know we will.

At PlayStation Day in London Sony revealed the first ever gameplay video for Resistance 2, now after all the shock we finally get in game screenshots for Resistance 2. The screenshot aren’t of Nathan Hale or of any Chimera but, the game still looks amazing any way you put. The game is scheduled for a release in Fall 2008 only on the PlayStation 3.

The fans who were long awaiting Sony’s blockbuster, Killzone 2, will have to wait abit longer to finally get the game in there hands. Today, at a press conference held at PlayStation Day in London Sony announced that Killzone 2 will be available February of 09. It’s unclear at the moment if it is a global report or whether Europe should be the only one concerned with this matter.
