The Playstation Portable's A Sales Machine In Japan Right Now.
Sony’s Playstation Portable is still top of the Japanese hardware charts. This week it managed another 39k sales, with the PS3 mustering 26k. The PSPgo continues to flounder at the bottom of the charts with just over 1,000 units sold in the past week. Pretty disasterous.
But Sony probably won’t care well the regular SKU of their handheld system is topping the charts. Will anything catch it?

Your Reward For Completing Titan Mode. The Ocean.
What’s most bonkers is that people have already earned a Platinum trophy in God Of War III. You people have beaten Titan Mode – really!?! Blimey. Well, whatever. What’s interesting is what happens when you earn said trophy — namely that you get directed to www.spartansstandtall.com.
The website shows the ocean and rain. And not much else. There’s a little shield in the top-right corner, but it doesn’t do anything.
Seriously Sony Santa Monica. You can’t leave a tease like that.
The website kinda makes us think about Vikings, but maybe that’s our imagination.

Guerrilla Games Still Reckon There's Plenty They Can Do With The PS3.
Killzone 2 was is one of the best looking games available right now. Sadly, it’s visuals have been somewhat undermined by a slew of other Playstation content. Uncharted 2 took the baton that Killzone set, and now God Of War III has run away with it. But Guerrilla don’t seem phased by the internal battle for Playstation 3 exclusive visual quality. Nuh-uh. They want to do more.
Speaking to EDGE (via TSA), the sharp folks noted:
“We’re satisfied that we demonstrated the potential of the hardware,” he said.
“But we realise that further optimisations are always possible and that we haven’t hit the limit yet.”
Killzone 3 is rumoured to support the Playstation Move aswell as 3D functionality. It’s yet to see formal release though, and will likely get that treatment at E3. Exciting times for the Guerrilla folks.
