We're here. Starting soon apparently. I'm pumped. Pat's pumped.
Five minutes to go.
"The press conference will start in five minutes." Pat is so pumped he could well be foaming at the mouth slightly. Can't see from two rows in front.
They just chucked everyone upstairs with tripods. Fuck you, tripod users.
Site's getting battered. Try not to refresh unless you have to.
Now: what can they possibly announce that hasn't already been heavily hinted and/or confirmed? European localisation for Mainichi Issyo, please.
en.wikipedia.orgSeriously, a daily downloadable news update presented by a talking cat would be a HUGE hit over here. C'mon Sony.
Oh, oh, or Demon's Souls 2. That would please me. Would be good to get the first game in Europe, too.
Or Afrika for Europe. No game has ever captured hippos chewing as well. Or indeed at all.
Heeeere we go!
Opening shots of EyePet, Sackboy, God of War.
PlayStation Home. Which is actually quite endearing, in its own crap way.
The Singstore. I've lost about seventy quid to that damned thing whilst drunk.
White Knight Chronicles, which wasn't half bad. Uncharted 2. Nothing new yet, but it's only the opening trailer.
Here's President and CEO of SCEE, Andrew House.
(We miss David Reeves.)
"We pride ourselves on always changing, and always innovating. We are poised for even greater success globally."
"Responding to the needs of gamers is paramount... When we launched the PS2 in 2000, we brought gaming to the mass market by introducing a reasonably priced DVD player to the mix."
"We began to see gaming come out of the bedroom and into the living room."
"Now we've moved the technology forward, and pushed the boundaries of what is possible."
Oh good, we're being taken through their business strategy.
Graphs? Where are the graphs?
Here we are! It's the PS2's sales figures again!
"Now well into its tenth year, you can still see that it's still selling incredibly well, with wordwide sales at 139 million."!
PSP Go is still launching on October. Sales have reached 52.9 million units worldwide.
PS3 global sales are at 23.7 million units, and the SCEE installed base has broken the 10million unit barrier.
That's not bad for under two years, actually.
Well, so says Andrew.
