Late Night Consoling

As news broke on the PS3 at E3, many were confused if the announcement of support for a 2.5-in HD meant that an HD was included or that it simple could hold one and gamers would have to buy it separately. Apparently, Sony was being purposely vague as they themselves are not sure what they are going to do with it yet. One thing they are sure is the design of the controller; it will essentially remain the same. Speaking to Famitsu, chief technical officer Masayuki Chatanai did say he agrees with Kutaragi's statement that the PS3 is not a game machine, but added "make no mistake--games will be the killer app for the PlayStation 3."

Talking to Famitsu, the enigmatic leader of Team Ninja, Tomonobu Itagaki, revealed that development on Dead or Alive Code: Cronus is moving from the Xbox to the Xbox 360. Once the famed developer saw what the 360 was capable of, he couldn't allow himself to finish it on the Xbox. Ninja Gaiden Black and Tecmo Classic Arcade will remain on the Xbox and will be Tecmo's last titles for the console. Itagaki also heavily discussed DOA4 in the interview; click the link for details.
