This week, there’s been a mixed bag of interesting news numbers, from T-Mobile’s New York event and the company’s new perspective on the phone network business, to San Francisco (again) for the Games Developers Conference. We also got to take a look at BlackBerry’s first financial results since the name change and its BB10 launch.

Welcome to The After Math, where we attempt to summarize this week’s tech news through numbers, decimal places and percentages.

In this week’s After Math, Google got stung for its Street View WiFi mishap, Samsung revealed what is likely to be its best-selling phone (again), while the new Digital Public Library of America received a huge donation from the US National Archives. We’re getting things ready for Engadget Expand this weekend, so expect a special edition TAM next week. We hope to see plenty of you at the event — we’ll be there.

The big story of the week, no, month, is Sony’s next-generation console, the PlayStation 4. Well, the company didn’t show us the physical box itself and instead chose to detail a new DualShock controller, some not-hugely-specific hardware outlines and titles we can expect to see (in some form) on the fourth generation PlayStation. As Pythagoras said: “Number rules the universe,” and the After Math prefers it that way. Find some of those numbers after the break.

Thanks to the wonders of the Internet and video sharing websites like YouTube as well as a plethora of other factors (fast Internet connection, video conversion tools, video formats, the works), it is a snap to send word around of upcoming details on a movie, song, or even video game. Take for instance this new video from popular YouTube montage maker “L0ckl34r”, where he has delivered what is deemed by many to be the first PC footage of the Battlefield 3 expansion known as Aftermath. Sporting three minutes of gameplay that was captured at EA France’s headquarters, you get to have a glimpse into what is to come.

Unfortunately, it must be said that footage from the Scavenger mode is now exactly as sprawling as you would have liked it to be, so very little is different from the console footage that has been released to date. Still, having slightly improved graphics is better than none, as one is restricted to 720p resolution. After all, something is better than nothing, and the video shows off what one is capable of achieving with a keyboard and mouse wielded in a skillful manner.
