While touting your high sales figures in Europe and North America is usually top of any international companies list, Sony have always been keen to promote the Playstation brand equally worldwide

Which is perhaps why the company are seeing significantly strong sales of the Playstation 3 in the Middle East."The PS3, which is a high-end machine costing about $400 (Dh1,468) has a strong market in..

Speaking at the Develop Conference in the UK this week, Sony have confirmed that the Playstation Eye can currently perform much of the trickery possible with Microsoft's Natal

In addition to the Playstation Motion Controller, Sony confirmed that the Playstation Eye can currently track faces and recognise skeletal movements much like Natal. SCEE concluded that there are already libraries available..

Hooray for the return of insane Playstation advertising

This classic from SCEE shows a dude playing the PSP in the bath. Has it made anyone want to buy one?

Despite rumours last week that suggested French retailers would refuse to stock the PSP Go, SCEE have outright denied the claims this morning: “No French retailers have refused to stock the Go,” we were told by SCEE

The rep added that the story simply wasn’t true.</blockquote> So hey, if you're French and you want a PSP Go, looks like you can have one afterall.

Trophies are getting to where they need to be, but we can't help but feel it's taking a bit too long

Sony must be aware that users are crying out for more detailed, instantly accessible stats and avatar/forum signature type images. While Sony Europe did provide the portable trophy cards, they're really a nightmare to keep updated. Alas, signs that things are moving forward are positive. Sony Europe..

Eye Pet looks like it's going to be massive fun for kids

Drawing objects, scanning them in and taking control of them within the game sounds really exciting. We can't wait to see how people take to this game because it looks like enormous fun.

Andrew House - the new head of SCEE - seems very unfussed by Sony's Playstation Motion Controller

"I'm not unduly worried and I think the reason for that is that we've done a very good job with the PlayStation 3 as an overall value proposition without any motion control technology," said House. His relaxed nature may stem from the fact that the controller has been in development for a..

Asking rather nicely in their Twitter updates, the development team behind VidZone want you to send them pictures of yourself using the new app

They cite editorial inclusion as the reason. Seeing as the app is totally free (minus a few ads), we think you should help them out. You know, in way of saying thank you.

You know what? We think VidZone sounds brilliant

We were big fans of the music channel when they were big along with the popularity rise of Sky Digital. So getting an "on-demand" music service directly on the PS3? Well that's awesome. And it's coming to Europe in a few hours, along with three weeks worth of content and "much more on the way." US PS3 owners, we're not entirely..

Speaking with EDGE Online, the new SCEE president Andrew House - who replaced David Reeves earlier this month - has said he expects Wii owners will eventually "upgrade" to the PS3

House explains that he sees the Nintendo console as the "entry level device" which will see gamers move onto Playstation hardware in the long-term. Honestly, we're not sure he's right at all. And we find that..

Head over to the Awards website for a full list of the categories and nominees – cast your vote and you could win some cool prizes for yourself in the Golden Joystick Awards..

Ubisoft's British marketing boss Murray Pannel has stated his belief that the Playstation 3 faces an uphill struggle in the UK

However he did concede that the brand name still carries enormous weight throughout the region. Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, the former Microsoft employee of six years said:"So if I'm just looking at the UK specifically, we all know that Nintendo has done an amazing..

Somewhat stepping on our toes a tiny-ickle bit (we kid, not really

), Sony have launched the new awesome-looking European arm of the Playstation Blog. The US version, which has been a massive hit, has been running for a while now but finally Sony have decided to give the same kind of coverage to European (and Australian) visitors. We really like what we've seen and wish the Playstation Europe..

Hey Europe, not got a PS3 yet? Looking to get one with an extra game? Better consider these bundles that have emerged from PS3p

es</a>. While not confirmed by Sony yet the bundles show either: a PS3 with two controllers and a copy of Quest For Booty or; a PS3 with inFamous. The Quest For Booty bundle seems a bit odd seeing as the game launched a year ago but the inFamous bundle sure looks..

Oh man; video games - this is why we love them

This is insane news. The Ghostbusters game - which was planned as a multiplatform game - has passed publisher's hands like, well, like Swine flu really - starting out at Vivendi, moving to Atari and now - weeks before the June 19th release - ending clasped between Sony's mitts. In this mornings press release, Sony said:“We will be releasing the title..

David Reeves is going to be leaving Sony soon, but before he goes, he'd like to make some predictions if that's gravy with you guys: "I don't think it will be next year, but in three to five years it will become dominant on the market," Reeves told industry site GamesIndustry

"The legacy will be that people will see a tortoise and hare situation. In a way, in the end it will be a dead heat..

David Reeves is retiring from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe after many, many years

He's practically the figurehead of what has made the Playstation such a success in Europe. He's pretty important etc. Rumours were that when he announced his retirement he would be going to work for Realtime Worlds, developers of the XBOX 360 exclusive title Crackdown. But Reeves reckons that's not true because..

European video game retailer GAME have published a report specifying the exact lifetime sales data of video game systems across Europe

Be aware, that GAME only retails in the UK, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Czech Republic, and Australia, so figures from Germany and Italy are excluded. The total sales put the PS3 just a million behind the XBOX 360, with Microsoft's one year..
