Ah, the irony: a reader sends us this screenshot of the Nintendo Wii News channel admitting its own defeat against the Sony PlayStation 3. It's either that a) the channel editors feel they are not being paid enough, b) that Nintendo doesn't give a damn about giving the losing side some respite, c) nobody edits the channel or d) shut up Sony fanboys

Sony knows Konami's "Metal Gear Sold 4" won't be the killer app it needs for broad based appeal, so it's compensated by ramping up its own game production and has 15 internal studios working on PlayStation titles, more than Microsoft and Nintendo combined!

While the PC and 360 versions of the game were largely managed by Valve, the PS3 version was apparently the responsibility of a team at EA. This has led to a number of framerate hiccups and other technical issues due to EA's poor-quality development, which "at best merely hinder game play and at worst make the experience downright unplayable."

In the past two weeks, I've finished Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, I'm working on Super Mario Galaxy and Saturday saw me complete Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It's no secret that my Xbox 360 gets a lot more play than my PS3, but let's face it, if there were more games for the system I'd spend more time on it. Uncharted may change all that!

For the first time since its release, the PS3 has become a full-fledged gaming machine that will appeal to the two most important facets in the gaming industry -- developers and consumers. Sony is well on its way to becoming a force to be reckoned with and it could become the leader in this industry once again.
