Remember yesterday it was reported that a Microsoft exec had called Sony’s boasting of its PS4’s hardware prowess “meaningless”? Obviously it did not sound very nice and Albert Penello has since stepped forward to clarify what he meant. Making a […]

Last week, Microsoft‘s product planning manager Albert Penello called the next-generation console specs “meaningless,” saying that the games will be the ultimate deciding factor on which console is better. However, it seems many critics took Penello’s words harshly and thought that Penello was bashing the PS4. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with downplaying the competition,

Whether or not you pay for GameStop’s annual membership plan, the planet’s largest video game retailer is opening the doors of the Las Vegas Sands Expo and Convention Center to the public for its annual GameStop Expo this August, which this year features hands-on opportunities with both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. For a $35 general admission ticket, you’ll get access to both consoles on August 28th — long before their respective holiday launches — as well as a chance to play a variety of upcoming games. Should you shell out a stone cold $90, you’ll snag a copy of Madden NFL 25 for Xbox 360, gain early entry to the show (one hour) and “access to panel discussions with some of the biggest names in the industry.” Per usual, attendees must be older than 17, and the event’s a one-day affair. But then you’ll be in Vegas, so… maybe stay for a few days.

Typically, we get some sanitized version, appropriately molded by corporate PR and fed to the public with the crust cut off. But when you’re Mark Cerny, lead PlayStation 4 architect, and you’ve literally grown up with the games industry and the PlayStation brand itself, the tale you get to tell tends to be more truthful, mesmerizing, and chock full of the hard knocks that make success stories so great. And that’s just what Cerny delivered at Gamelab in Barcelona this week, recounting the whirlwind career that led him to have the heaviest hand in shaping Sony’s next-gen platform.
Not familiar with the man’s esteemed background? Then sample this bit of historical trivia: Cerny was the youngest Atari employee at age 17 (!). How’s that for inspiring? Oh, and what’s more, Cerny even fesses up to the egotistical attitude that flattened Sony’s PlayStation 3 launch (spoiler alert: it has to do with crushing third-party devs). There’s much, much more insider-y goodness packed into the 45 minute-plus video after the break. Go on, now. Watch it. You’ll be better for it, we promise.

The recent announcements of the latest next-generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony have stirred up a lot of renewed fanboy wars, but Alienware general manager Frank Azor says that consoles are simply “becoming more and more like PCs,” proving that the PC is the ultimate gaming machine, and Microsoft and Sony are simply taking that
