PS3 surges ahead in US
IT'S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE we could have spent the last several years using completely different consoles and devices if things had gone a little differently. Virtual Boy anyone?
Xbox 360

believes a reader has one of the first Xbox 360 Opus-based consoles. Opus
motherboards are redesigned components to replace old dead Xenon systems.
AMD now has chips capable of Xbox 360-like graphics on a portable device. This week AMD announced that the company has achieved OpenGL ES 2.0 mobile graphics technology compliance with hardware that is based on the same AMD unified shader architecture as the current generation Xbox.
Gartner's Brian Lewis has offered his perspective on what led to last year's Xbox 360 recall - Lewis says it happened because Microsoft originally wanted to save money by avoiding an ASIC vendor. This ultimately lead to a $1 billion mistake.

PS3/PSP
Gamesindustry.biz
understands that Sony is working hard on a Wiimote-like device, which will come
in the form of a 'break-apart' two-section pad.
The Sony-Wiimote rumours have been strong recently, and we suspect it's only a matter of time before more concrete details emerge.
Though PSP sales numbers seem to from strength-to-strength, despite a lacklustre line-up of games, Robbie Back of Microsoft has said that there are 'cautionary tales' to learn from the PSP.

The PSP's sales figures won't be hurt by a new FFVII PSP bundle bound for Europe from June 20th.
The PS3 has won the sales figure battle in the US this month, with over 20,000 additional consoles sold over that of the Xbox 360. The Wii still sold around two and a half times more than the PS3. All figures can be seen at Eurogamer.
Wii/DS
According to job openings seen by
Crunchgear

Fortunately - except on a low Monday morning startup - nobody gives a damn what the inq suggests.
The INQ is the best TECH info site on the net. They bring the news with a little humor. I suggest you go read CNN tech news you sissy little girl.

So actually somebody listen to the inq. What are you doing here if you don´t, anyway?
Amusingly, 'opus' means 'work(s)' in Latin. So MSFT finally think they've got it right this time?
The headline is a bit misleading isn't it ?, shouldn't it read -

"PS3 has a good month in USA as expected due to MGS4 release".
