Looks like the latest Famitsu has (shock!) actual gameplay screenshots of the upcoming Final Fantasy XIII. While we can’t host full scans of the magazine, FinalFantasy-XIII.net can. The real-time graphics look superb, and make us want to see the game in action. It’s only a few months until Japan gets a playable demo of the game — we’re certain to see much more of the game then.

‘Managing Director of Bethesda Softworks states that Sony’s PlayStation Home could be a defining moment in the video games industry.
In a feature on the Official PlayStation website, Sean Brennan comments that he is most looking forward to;
"Home: if it lives up to expectations it could be a defining moment in the industry."’
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Christophe Balestra, co-president of developer Naughty Dog, has revealed that one of the team’s philosophies when creating Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is to show that the sequel is more than a “jungle game” in regards to the game’s environments.

"Sony has been trying out an interesting marketing strategy over the last couple of months, and so far it appears to be working. Amid a lack of high-quality exclusive titles for the PS3, Sony has been leaking whispers of "top secret" games to members of the press.
What’s up with all of this secrecy, Sony? Surely if you have a big game in development there is no harm in telling us about it so we have something to look forward to."

Talking to CNET, Sony has revealed why the PS3’s November sales were actually lower in 2008 than in 2007, despite an upward trend for other consoles across the board. It seems that the introduction of the 40GB model and a new lower price in November 2007 was too successful, meaning that the PS3 was unable to compete with itself even a year later. What Sony forgot to mention is that the cheapest Xbox 360 is currently selling for half the cheapest PS3’s price.
Sounds obvious, doesn’t it? Price cut equals more sales. Maybe if Sony had done the same thing in 2008 the PS3 would have outsold its own year-old ghost (that’s a racing game metaphor, not a Christmas Carol “Ghost of Christmas Past” one). Microsoft’s Aaron Greenburg says in the same CNET post that the company’s internal figures suggest that the Xbox 360 now has an 8 million unit lead on the PS3 worldwide, with 28 million 360s and 20 million PS3s in the wild.
Until the December NPD numbers appear we won’t know the true truth, but it’s fair to assume he 360 outsold the PS3 by a decent margin. Hopefully we’ll see a price drop soon, so that more people can get hold of a PS3 without having to take out a second mortgage.

A brand new PS3 bundle will go on sale in Japan, featuring the upcoming PS3-exclusive Yakuza 3. Available in late February, the bundle will include the game and a specially designed Ceramic White console (pictured, above). Only 10,000 units of this bundle will be made, so expect it to sell out quickly in Japan. Will any find their way on eBay? Perhaps.

Xbox 360 product manager Aaron Greenberg said he expects Sony to drop the price of PlayStation3 sooner rather than later.
"We absolutely expect the PS3 price drop to happen in the next couple of months," he said. "We’re frankly surprised it’s taken this long. ? I would expect they’d have to move on price, sooner than later, for sure."
