PlayStation Phone Benchmarked

The Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone has been benchmarked at 24.4 frames per second by using the Qualcomm Neocore benchmark app. This number isn’t the best around when you compare that to the Nexus S that can achieve double that amount.

However, one thing to note is that the PlayStation Phone, or Zeus Z1 as it’s also called, is still a few months away from launching and that a lot of work can be done behind the scenes to bump that frame rate up a little. [Read more…]

PS3 To Outsell Xbox 360

It might be a little hard to believe for die hard Xbox fans but according to EEDAR (Electronic Entertainment Design and Research) analyst Jesse Divnich’s predictions, by 2012 this may well be the case.
