News entry by Aran on Monday 02nd of July 2007
The PS3 has had some problems in regards to sales, with only 3.6 million sold worldwide (accurate as of April 1st 2007) as compared to the Nintendo Wii which has had 8.5 million sales. However Sony may have cracked it with something the Xbox360 and Wii lack, an online interactive social community. Sony has brought gamers "Home". Home is similar to the SecondLife universe found online but with much more involved. As well as interacting with other gamers with your avatar, you get your own home which you can customise fully and even throw a barbecue! Probably one of the biggest pluses will be the Trophy Room where other gamers can see all your achievements that you have completed within your games, a nice way to show off.
The following is a new preview put together by the guys at GamerTV.
