PS4 Black Ops 3 Console - LEAKED

/

Amazon have let a little Sony secret slip. Yes its a grey and ember coloured PS4 limited edition console. With Sony pushing the boat out this time partnering up with Activision. PS4 owners can expect to see Black Ops 3 add ons first...dare we say maybe some exclusive content? Although the console hasn't been officially confirmed yet. I think its a pretty safe bet we'll see it for the CALL OF DUTY launch later this year.

WhatGear also were one of the first to find out about a fan favourite map returning to the series. Take a look at the video below. 

If you like limited edition consoles you might alos likalso check out this StarWars exclusive.

Super Mario 30 Years a slave to your Nintendo - REFUGEE MARIO

/

Has we really seen thirty years of the happy little moustached plumber. Yes...yes it has. An overnight success it was as Master Yoda Might say, and if you haven't checked out our EXCLUSIVE 360 Video with Master Yoda himself you really should.

So Super Mario now thirty years old. What do you guys think about the progression of the character over the years?

What is your favourite Mario themed game of all time? Mine is Mario Kart and Mario Tennis on the N64. The 4 Player matches took Super Mario to another level.

While Mario has been a slave to the NINTENDO platform for so long. Do you think its about time nintendo give up the Ghost and allow the iconic plumber to feature in his own app based game maybe?

On the Subject of slaves, there are some people who may feel like that in their own countries and I came across this video...REFUGEE MARIO Pretty interesting take on the Asylum situation. Is this the best way to get your message across? certainly a little more light hearted than some of the other stuff I've seen lately, but it delivers the message just as well. What do you think?

So the final MGS from the legandary Kojima is upon us. It seems that Kojima may have saved the best for last judging by the 9.5 rating across the board. We at WhatGear are extemely excited about the 50+ hours of gameplay...but we are hoping that 40 of then aren't cut scenes. Hey I got a question exactly how many Solid Snakes are there!

So while Konami retain the rights to MGS. Yes it's still true this is game over for Kojima and MGS. We still might be likely to see Metal Gear apps... most likely freemiums. Kojima will have no involvement. 

 

 

PS4 Vs Xbone 3/1 in Sony's favour

PS4 Vs Xbone 3/1 in Sony's favour

According to its latest sales figures, Sony’s consoles outsold Microsoft’s consoles three-to-one in the quarter ending June 30. During its quarterly earnings call yesterday, Sony said that it had sold a combined total of 3.5 million units of the PS4 C$479.99 at Amazon and PS3, compared to Microsoft’s quarterly figure of just 1.1 million Xbox One $369.00 at Groupon and Xbox 360 consoles. Neither Sony or Microsoft opted to break down these numbers into per-console sales figures, but using previous announcements as a baseline it’s probably around 70-30 in favor of the PS4 and Xbox One.

In short, this means Sony sold around 2.5 million PS4s last quarter, compared to about 800,000 Xbox Ones. This equates to some very unfavorable total global sales figures for the Xbox One, which we’ll discuss below.

Earlier in the week, Sony surprised everyone by announcing that it had actually made a profit [PDF] during the April-June quarter. This is mostly due to restructuring and selling off assets — Sony has spun off its TV business into a separate subsidiary, sold its PC business, and sold its shares in Square Enix — but strong sales of the PS4 definitely helped matters along. While Sony gave us a combined total of 3.5 million PS4s and PS3s sold during the quarter, the last exact PS4 sales figure (7 million) was way back in April. By our estimations, the PS4 is probably sitting at around 9 million consoles sold globally.

Sony Exec Defends PS4 Games Line-up for 2015 -2016

 

2015 seems to be an interesting year for both Sony and Microsoft. Microsoft has an amazing line up games later this year which includes the likes of Forza Motorsport 5, Halo 5 Guardians and many more. On the other hand, there does not seem to be many AAA exclusives for the PlayStation 4. Granted the console has a number of games in development, but as it stands right now there is nothing major coming out for the console soon.
