Heh heh... remote controlled boat added... and more. I agree with one of the previous posters that in the future, Sony should let us build our own spaces. It will help tremendeously to populate the environment with PEOPLE and content.

The game spaces look awesome!

I was told the Warhawk battle table is interactive. You can use it to plan an attack (or defense).

I like the RC boat too. I hope they have an RC car... coz I'll probably play one while waiting for the match making and listening to party jokes at the same time.

Don't you have your own apartment in Home, that you can decorate however you wish? That's your own space.
Though I guess it'll only be visible to the people on your friends list, am I right?

I don't know where to post this, but accordingly to Reuters Sony has missed its sales goals.
They only managed to sold 9.24 millions units while theirs goals were 11 millions.

Thus I do give more credit to some MS PR stating that analyst should check theirs numbers before make statements about the state of the competition between MS and Sony (in Europe I guess).
So it's likely that MS still lead (according to MS PR) by ~750 000 units in Europe.

(PS I don't find the article it was on game industry).

Well that Home walk through looked mighty impressive. I would really like to be in the beta

 

[Arwin]

Yeah, I didn't think they'd improve the looks so much, but it looks great - guess it's partly that they allow more detail now in indoor spaces/smaller rooms. I love the lighting in the bar, awesome. It sure has some awesome potential, and it looks like most of it may well be realised. It's like a small ball of snow that slowly turns into an avalanche as it picks up features and support. Me like! Definitely tent-pole material.

That's a lot of units. Maybe drop the "millions" from your quote, or you'll sound like a certain MS quote about billions of people from a few years back

Right... My mind went crazy, in fact the Ms guy said that the gap was around three quarters (3/4 not about to say that in english )of a millions then I hesitated... then 750 000 MILLIONS DOLLARS (pinky raised... )


Anway, may also explain SE attitude in regard to FFXIII

Fiscal year goals? They reduced it to 9.5 millions or something.

Sony officially announced they'd passed MS in PAL regions last April or so.
MS didn't respond to that.

Link?

Im just curious because the only thing ive seen is that PS3 is selling more than X360, but not passed it for the entire PAL region yet.

That's how I read it, maybe they meant sold more PS3s than 360s since PS3's launch.
(Europe to be clear, not PAL)

 

[liolio]

MS did answer, the interview was on gameindustry some days/weeks ago.

I meant build a new public building + interior

Though I guess it'll only be visible to the people on your friends list, am I right?

I am not too sure yet. All I know right now is:
* You need to be online also for others to see your apartment
* They need permission to do so

nevermind

Ok in this regard to sales I find links:
Sony PR is from the 6th of May.
Ms denial:
http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/26/microsoft-xbox-360-ahead-of-ps3-in-europe/
For some reasons I'm no longer able to find the news on gamesindustry.

Anyway if sony 9,xx millions at the end of may 2008 I don't question that much MS denial.

 

[Arwin]

I'm more and more looking forward to Leipzig. Seems that Casual and Community will be adressed more there ...

Interesting why do you think that "denial" came 1.5 months later?

9.xx mega at the end of may 2008?
AFAIK, Sony don't have end of May goals, they have fiscal year goals ending March 31st.

 

[liolio]

I've no clue about why Ms denial came so late, I'm not part of this company.

In regard to May instead of Marsh... my bad
I will never manage to remember this properly, I have a related question which year ends in marsh 2008 or 2007? (damnit I know that I've already asked that back in time...)

I've a link in french (but serious):
http://fr.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idFRDEC67943320080716

And thus my comment about Ms denial is wrong as I was wrong to begin with.

Anyway Ms made a denial (wether it's true or not)
Edit
Shifty, you're right, I 'll paste the post in the proper thread

 

[NERO]

I'm stuck at work and am unable to browse everywhere; Has there been any TeamIco news?
Has there been a LBP release date announcement?

Thanks
