Angry Birds most played game on Windows Phone 7



Angry Birds are no longer angry with Windows Phone users. The money making game has acknowledged as the most played game on Windows Phone 7 platforms. The game was launched with much enthusiasm on June 29, 2011 on Microsoft’s Smart Phone platform.  The combined list has been prepared by Xbox Live’s Major Nelson.  The list contains 20 top performing games judged on the basis on global unique users connected to Xbox Live during last year.  After Angry Birds, another game which smashed worldwide records is Fruit Ninga followed by Plants vs Zombies and Need of Speed Undercover.

With the coming up of popping smart phone games , once might Nintendo DS and Sony’s PlayStation Portable success rate has gown down tremendously. In the beginning, games like Angry Birds got some high voltage criticism from hard core gamers active on leading hand held platforms. But, now, situation is completely opposite. There are gamers, who still like to play on their beloved hand held consoles but the higher priced console games invites gamers to stay away. That’s why, Sony, too tried to offer cheaper games (Mini) on PlayStation Portable but the end result was not satisfactory.


The success of Angry Birds is not limited to Windows Phone 7. The internet is abuzz with number of fake Angry Birds typed game. Last month, I downloaded, fake Angry Birds on my Samsung Star II. And, it’s running absolutely fine on Java enabled Star II.

@Sony When wrong price spoils New Year Eve

Credit- Crooked.stick.co.uk

Its official Sony Tablet S is set to shed some extra flab from existing $499 price tag. The company happily announced $100 price reduction to make tablet survive, at least for few more months. Last week, Blackberry India, too announced, mouth watering price reduction on PlayBook range of tablets. After reading first two lines, your mind must be bombarded with hell number of confusing questions. One must be why I used the term price reduction. I mean, PS VITA is yet to land in states and Europe. But, what we learnt from PS VITA’s Japanese horrific reception is that gamers are reluctant to pay even $250 for quad –core powered hand held console.


Sony might be in terrible position around the world. From T.V business to smart phone tally, they are losing every inch in almost all categories. But their Network division (includes PlayStation devices) is gathering handsome number in terms of sales and profits. Except America, where Xbox 360 is far ahead than PS3, otherwise, Sony’s consoles are doing pretty well. Last year, PS VITA officially made available to eager Japanese consumers. The week long carnival and various other events marked the arrival of PS VITA. The expectation was high from the beginning, at least in Japan. But sadly, the system sold 321, 407 units in its first two days. Then, the drought continues with 72 K units in its second week of sales. Looks like, hand held consoles are thing of past in latest Smart phone world. Surprising, its nearest competitor 3DS sold more in number than Vita’s 72 K number.


@Sony Learning from 3DS launch experience


If you recall, 3DS also had some terrible launch time. Some blame its lack luster gamer titles other blamed its 3DS display. But soon, Nintendo announced hefty price cuts to make 3DS an irresistible deal. Now, its $169 price tag invites all gamers to join 3DS party. With huge number of tempting titles, this console too saw ups and down. Remember, 3DS is successor to celebrated DS range of console. Its predecessor got coveted title of best selling hand held console of all time. Then, why people were afraid to buy 3DS in the beginning. Obviously, any gamer would like to have more and more options. Companies can take advantage of multimedia features or so called 3D features built into gaming devices to marketing their products. But in reality, without respectable titles any gaming console is incomplete. You better start winding up your gaming ambitions.


Though, it’s too early to predict PS Vita’s future. I know, Sony strategies will be completely different in handing Japanese debacle. They need to do something extra ordinary to make Vita on survival mode. Adding more and more god titles, as fast as possible is one option. Another, option could be price reduction and its make some sense too.

An iTV can change your life , really ?



When we talk about T.Vs, one thing that cannot be denied is the lack of brain embedded in a television .Though, we have moved from boxed T.Vs to latest smart ones. But, each time, we need to have a source (DVRs, gaming consoles & Set- Up-Boxes) to make T.V functional. In simple language, we can say that a modern television wants your attention to make things going.  It’s true to say that, a T.V works best, when you own his mind. If you want to play latest high definition games, you need a super rich gaming console or for watching latest season of 30 Rocks; set –up – box can make your life going. Lately, there has been a sea change in the technologies used in manufacturing a television set. The process started with hard disk based televisions ( I guess, LG was the one , who initiated the process), than super thin T.V start appearing followed by LED, 3D & Smart T.Vs. Don’t forget to include Google T.Vs .

 Till now, various technologies came to make television sets, a must have part of our daily life. In 2011, you have seen the magic of OnLive service, Sony’s forgettable internet T.Vs & Samsung’s Smart T.Vs. Now imagine, you are playing latest console quality game on your T.V without taking help from your beloved consoles. Time has come, when your television can think and deliver undiluted entertainment activities without remote control. He’s the Boss, He’s the creator, and all you need his attention. Recently, from all directions, one can smell something cooking in Apple’s kitchen.  The company might unveil next generation T.V sets in the first half of 2012. After magical iPADs, intelligent T.Vs was Steve Jobs last unfulfilled delayed project. On the other side, Sony wants to revive dwindling Bravia brand by launching its own range of Smart T.Vs. 

What to expect ? The fate of intelligent T.Vs will be decided by the innovative use of design & brain. If we go by Apple’s past track record, than iOS will power future T.Vs, for sure. The company might use its own ecosystem. Remember, I was talking about brain in the very beginning, so future T.Vs from leading manufacturers will take advantage of recent Smart Phone success. As Android is gaining momentum in mobile ecosystem, Sony might end up using android operating system. Reason? Their marriage with Google started with Sony Ericssion followed by Google T.V and Tablet S.

So, we would like to conclude by saying that many new technologies come and fade away. From ugly box to slim trip one, this piece of technology always attracted retailers, consumers, advertisers & creative lookers. The future rather belongs to all in one device , so bye - bye to next generation consoles. All I want is a full -fledged monster T.V.

For Microsoft, Black Friday is just another terrific occasion


I'm star
When we talk about Xbox 720, new hardware & better graphics came to our mind.  Just look at the recent numbers released by Microsoft. As per the company, they almost sold 1 million units (960,000) of Xbox 360s. Wooh!  And on the occasion of Black Friday, they sold 800,000 units. Their hit factory continues by selling 750,000 units of Kinect hardware as well. I am totally blown away by Microsoft’s stupendous efforts. They categorically chose different techniques of marketing plus delivered excellent gaming experience.

Now, I am imagining, where my once “Closest Buddy” stands in front of Xbox 360. To make PS3 mass- popular among American youths, they shelved its price too by $50. But sales are just normal; they never came up with exact numbers, at least in Americas. If we recall, number of analysts raised their voices against Xbox price by saying that “they should keep Xbox price lower”. Do Microsoft really need to lower Xbox 360 price? Why this question never being raised in front of Apple H.Q ? No company will going to play with their product price, till the time their “Pet” start getting ignored by loved ones. Even, if they are selling Xbox 360 for $300, its fine with the masses. At least, they see value by paying $300.

Now I can talk about PlayStation Vita.


                                 


Any one remembers this song? When Sony unveiled the trailer of PlayStation Vita at this year E3 conference, I noticed a popping sound at the back drop of trailer. What was so special about that sound is the never ending echo entrenched my head. Now, I’m able to get this song. There is a band called The Two Door Cinema Club, don’t know how popular this band but this particular song I can talk sounds super cool.

With this track, I Can Talk, Sony tried to build excitement among its core audiences. Now I can talk directly talks about PlayStation Vita and how unbelievable is this monster. For your convenience, I jotted down the lyrics.

I know, this post looks very irrelevant but I am offering you some thing unusual. Hope you guys appreciate my efforts. If you people are not aware about this track via my post, you get to know about this band as well as track. Remember! This is not a promotional stuff about any band. It’s my way of looking things.

Here are the lyrics:


You won't believe what I tell you,
White coats and clever minds will choose
You get a lot from this
Loose tongue and arrogance
It's not appropriate
Don't think that this is it

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(Repeat)

A longer sentence brings no more
Than one that I had said before
It's hard to compromise
When I see through your eyes
It's just a common view
I guess it's lost on you

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(Repeat)

Instrumental

Now I can talk, no one gets off
(I know how you like to)
Now I can talk, no one gets off
(Repeat)

Welcome to Tab Gaming: Your's Next BFF (Part- 1)




Many a time, you went to near by local gaming store and came back with nothing. Are you one of them?  Here, I ‘am not talking about recession. A new kind of gamers are evolving, blame tablets than. They are smart enough to play games and work simultaneously. What an idea? 

We all face one big hurdle with gaming consoles these days. I mean from the very beginning. You know, what I am taking about.  On an average a modern gamer spent $60 on new game. And for a handheld console, add $40. Even discount stores, don’t make any difference.

So, what’s the solution? Yes, we want awesome games to play. But, we also want some productive things out of it. What’s wrong with tablets?  They are smart, sexy and productive too.

I know many of you are obsessed with your sane ipads. Many of you also own Asus transformers, Motorola Xoom among others. Now, Amazon has announced Kindle Fire, since than, the whole world is going Gaga about tablets. Amazon entry into tab market has made Apple jealous for sure. Even Sony is not far behind; they recently launch their much hyped Tablet S for $499. Another model tablet P will be available to consumers in coming months. The Japanese giant aims to be No 2 tablet maker after Apple. The Sony tablets are compatible with old PS1 titles and PSP games. Even small players too making crackling sounds with their innovative tablets.

Apart from Apple “Magical” ipad, most of the manufacturers like Sony, Samsung, LG, Asus, Acer and Toshiba use Google’s Android operating system. Though, Apple still holds most of the pie but Android based tablets would be a driving force to make market sustainable.

Now, come to the gaming aspects of tablets. When Apple launched ipad back in 2010, critics were not pleased with this adolescent baby. Some said, gamings on tablets are not up to the mark and other said it has a potential to change the face of gaming. Just like Angry Birds changed the face of gaming. On the other hand, tablets still looking out for “THE” game but don’t worry in coming months you might see tablets gaming were being ported to console gaming.

Sony moves from PSP to PS Vita, closes PSP Digital Comics Store



I can’t recall any one from my gang, who used to read comics that too on PSP. As we know that Sony is a late listener. You yell is loudly, still they goona ignore us. They tried to make PSP as an entrainment package with Digital Comics store on the line of Apple App store. But somehow their experiment on PSP didn’t make their mouths (Profits) happy.   Now they want to solely concentrate their resources on PS Vita & off course PS3. From now, they won’t be updating PSP Digital comics’ store. With 4,000 titles to choose from, the service on PSP is still be available without further updates. The company promised that they will continue to support Digital Comics store on other Sony products.

PlayStation 3 slim joins Gym, set to appear in more toned form


Are you one of the gamers, you own 1st generation ps3 consoles? It’s time to replace your old ps3 model with ultra- slim PS3. The world came from a Japanese retailer that Sony set to launch a new ps3 slim model. He claims that model no (CECH-3000B) is an up gradation to current 320 GB model, with weight dropping from 3 kg to 2.6 kg. We could see changes in power management structure of the current PS3. He also said that pricing of the upcoming PS3 slim remains the same. If you think PlayStation fanboys are obliged to have all the fun. Than you‘re thinking wrong! Microsoft too set to launch power friendly Xbox 360 in coming months( exact release date is still to be confirmed). The whole process will help Microsoft to lower the manufacturing cost. Nintendo, who showed the world their next – generation Wii U console wants to run faster than the current generation era. The company knows that they can’t support Wii like Xbox 360 or PS3. If we look at the big franchise from Wii stable, we get to know that apart from one or two games, Wii is almost finished. Microsoft on the other hand set to launch Halo 4 on Xbox 360 sometime in holiday season of 2012. In my opinion, Halo 4 is enough to tackle next – generation Wii U.

UPDATE: Today, Sony Japan announces the availability of improved PS3 slim 320 GB in Japanese market. As reported earlier, Sony has reduced the mass of existing PS3 slim from 3.0 kg to 2.6 kg. Apart from few cosmetic changes including power consumption module, PS3 slim (CECH-3000B) remains identical to previous looking model. If you already have a PS3 system, no need to buy again a new system, incase your previous system is in verge of death. The product can be purchased later this month depending upon the availability. Go grab, the new system for 34,980 yen (tax included)

Sony to launch PlasyStation branded Earphones for ipod obsessed generation

Credit- Sony Japan 

Sony is looking pathetically confident these days, at least in Japan. Their 6 years old handheld console PSP is kicking 3DS booty with pride. We all are well aware about Play Station Portables gaming capability (Just kidding). If Sony provides us with games, no one can ignore this adorable gaming platform. Anyways, you guys must be familiar with PSPs music functionality. Honestly, I really like PSP as a music player, but for that you need to use good quality earphones. To highlight PSPs Music capability, Sony Japan has just launched their new line of pretty earphones. Why would you like to buy these earphones? Is it because they are marketed by Sony with PlayStation branding on them? Company claims that these headphones are perfect for your gaming as well as music experience. No word on its global launch. As for now, Sony plans to launch these headphones in Japan (July 21) @ 2, 200 Yen / $27/ Rs. 1214/ € 18.9/£16.61/$AU 25.

Will Microsoft going to unveil the skeletonized version of Xbox “720”





Imagine, you have been cordially invited by Microsoft to experience “A new way to game” at this years E3 gaming conference. Any hardcore gamer like us will be on 11th sky, if they got invited by Microsoft people. Now come back to ground, and be practical for few minutes. There are many questions striking my mind at the moment. Is it the right time for Microsoft to unveil rumored Xbox “720”, possibly the next iteration to mega successful Xbox 360? Do we really need a new console? We just got Kinect?  They said Xbox 360 will be live for another 5 years, but suddenly Xbox “720”? I agree, Nintendo desperately needs a new console, to revive its fortunes. Lately, Wii has done terribly nothing to boost up Nintendo’s fortune. Which bug has bitten Microsoft to unveil Xbox “720” if we go by recent reports circulating gaming circles? As far as I know, Kinect proved rocking for Xbox division. Last month company announced that, their Entertainment division which includes Xbox rose healthy 60%. On the other hand, Electronics Arts (EA) has got their hands of the prototype of next generation Xbox 360, but later denied. It’s very common to hear such news just before E3 gaming conference. The competition is cut throat in this segment. What do you think, is it a clash between hardcore & casual gamers?  With “Project Café”, Nintendo wants to capture irresistible Hardcore gaming community. On the other hand, Microsoft used Kinect to lure casual gamers. This battle will definitely turns more violent with the NEXT GENERATION of home consoles. We are not expecting “Explosive” news from Sony. For them, E3 is the perfect medium to seek out differences with gamers. And I don’t think so they even consider PlayStation 4 in near future. They need to have a strong security triangle, so that gamers feel secure while using their services. But we cannot deny “Price Cuts”, both Microsoft & Sony will definitely going to answer in a non sensible way.

Sony Kicked Competitors eyes, launched mysterious S1, S2 tablets


Credit- Reuters

I cried
   
I rolled down on Floor
             
I wished for stuff like S1, S2

Sony finally announced their own versions “TABLETS” in the form of S1, S2. Both the tablets can be up for grabs later this year. Earlier this year, Nikkei reported that, Sony is possibly launching Tablets in wake of growing interest in tablet computing. Sony’s honcho CEO Howard Stringer also admitted that their Android 3.0 ready tablets will be rolled out by “summers”. Today, at the Press conference held in Tokyo, Sony finally made it clear that their mysterious tablets are real and will be available across the world later this year. 

Their flagship model S1 gives competition to Samsung’s Galaxy series and Motorola Xoom besides magical ipad 2. The tablet comes with 9.4 inch screen and will be powered by Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor. You also get some pretty  features such as 3G built in connection, front & rear facing camera, WiFi ,Google’s Android 3.0 OS & of course “ PlayStation Suite”.

The other model known as S2, which is quite smaller than Big Brother S1, comes with a 5.5 inch screen (Clam shell design) .Again, it also comes with Android 3.0 OS, Nvidia’s Tegra 2 processor among standard features. Both the models are compatible with Sony’s Qrio Video and Audio VoD services. Sony’s S2 tablet, which features 5.5 inch looks pretty similar to just launched Kyocera Echo. If you remember, Dell also came up with an idea of 5 inch tablets with Streak tablet, but unfortunately the tablet performed miserably. Are they trying to position S2 somewhere between a 9inch and 7 inch tablet? 

Sony products carry a high price tag in comparison with their competitors. Let’s hope they don’t repeat the same mistake what Motorola did with Xoom.

There is no word on price and other details. You will get to know more information, as the released date gets closer.

Wii 3D - Reality or Gimmick






They recently launched their much hyped glass –free handheld console 3DS across major markets.  The Kyoto based company didn’t announce any specific numbers for European territories, but we heard that numbers from UK are not encouraging, may be due to clash with ipad 2 launch. 3DS chapter is over, now get back to Wii; the original money spinner for Nintendo (Yeah! it’s proven). According to Hideki Konno,  the head of the 3DS project said in an interview given to CNN, Nintendo wasn't interested in big-screen 3D until it glasses-free 3D TVs became the norm. What does that mean? We assume that the company is ready with prototype, but waiting for the right time to unveil Wii 3D. With E3, the annual gaming conference approaching fast, the news of Wii makeover is getting stronger than ever. The maker of Super Mario Brothers is feeling pressure from Microsoft & Sony from the past months. Sales for the Wii are down 45% down from the last year. Analyst predicts more downturn for Wii as the console looks bleak in comparison with PS3 & Xbox 360. Earlier Nintendo was the only console, who used to offers motion gaming; but now both Microsoft & Sony offers motion controllers in the form of Kinect & PlayStation Move.

Will Nintendo  announce Wiis successor in coming Days?

 Nintendo is a smart company; they know where they lack & how to repair their damage. They might not launch Wii 3D this year, but they are going to launch Wii HD. If they want to remain ahead in home console race, they need to act faster. Now, most of the world has moved from CRT TVs to LED one. And, why would any one like to see 480p resolution in 2011? Both PS3 & Xbox 360 cost $ 100 more than Wii. Why I am not sure about Wii 3D. One of the reasons is PS3s unsuccessful strategy to tap gamers. 3D technology is still new, common people are not familiar with the technology. Further more, there are many disadvantages associated with 3D technology @ present like health issues, costs of owning 3D TVs etc. "Wait-And-See" strategy is best suited in Nintendo’s case. Its not that they don’t want to use 3D technology, they are the 1st one in the industry, who have come up with glass-free 3D tech. 3D has a momentum to become the next big thing in entertainment industry. All, we need is industry support to popularize 3D TECH in a big way.

Sony wants YOU to Buy 3D T.V

Credit- PlayStation Blog 

Sony is leaving no stone unturned to make PS3, the most happening gaming system ever made by human beings. The company, behind PlayStation 3 recently pledged to release nearly 30 (3D) enabled games for the system. Some of the biggest titles such as Uncharted 3, Socom 4,   & Ratchet and Clank: All 4 in one among others. The Tokyo based company is facing stiff competition from Microsoft’s Xbox 360 at the moment. According to NPD, Xbox 360 is outselling PS3 month-on- month basis, which caused a worrisome situation for Sony. Analyst sees a price drop for PS3 in coming months. As Nintendo’s umber cool 3DS release date is approaching fast, the company wants to divert a little attention towards PS3. Hey if you forgot, originally PlayStation 3 started the so called “3D” revolution due to its inbuilt 3D capable quality. Sony has already launched 3D capable Killzone 3 last month. Now company claims that 20% of total demos downloaded for Killzone 3 were in 3D.

Do you own 3D enabled T.V?  Give us you feedback on this post via Twitter

You talk about iPhone 5, I am not even PSP compatible :)

Finally, Sony Ericsson raised curtains from its mysterious   PlayStation phone. So, what’s the big deal?  Is it a PlayStation phone?  We give you the all the necessary details in this post, as we proceed you will get to know whether Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is really a phone with PlayStation capabilities or it’s just a big brother of NOKIA  N-Gage( it used to be a king of gaming phones of 2003).

Xperia Play offers simple gaming for those people, who just want an average gaming on the go. Play (Please Sony don’t sue us for using short form) comes with 50 games at launch (Do u think, gamers will digest this thing easily). Xperia play will be the 1st play station certified phone, when it launches in spring exclusively on Verizon in states. Tetris, The Sims 3, Asphalt Adrenaline 6, FIFA, Bruce Lee, Star Battalion are some of the games which comes pre-loaded.  Will you be satisfied with  such an anemic line up?

According to Sony, more than 20 industries leading game publishers are making games for play. The worst part of this phone is that it only able to run Ps1 titles. Its pity that, the company behind iconic play station brand unable to make play run PSP games. The company recently announced, that its new software platform Playstation Suit will be used to run playstation downloadable content for handsets that are playstation certified.

The Play is identical to PSP GO, as it uses the same slider - form factor. The difference between the two devices is that the play uses the dual touch pad instead of analog stick. Don’t worry gamers; Sony will do the need full in XPERIA PLAY 5.0   

With mere 5.0 mega pixel camera, 4 .0 inch multi –touch screen & android’s latest version (2.3) makes this baby not so happening. Now, a day’s most of the smart-phones comes with monstrous dual –core processor but this phone lets us down with just single core processor. We believe that a gaming phone should be more power full than an average smart –phones. In that case play sounds like 2010 . 

Conclusion – The Xperia play offers nothing spectacular but it managed to come closer to PSP

Meet World’s 1st Playstation Certified Phone : Sony Ericsson Xperia Play

It's seems that Japan is in love with Playstation family. According to Famitsu, the Japanese magazine recently came to the conclusion that PS3 had the best games in 2010.The magazine included 516 best rated games of 2010; Sony took the 1st position in home consoles race i.e. 77 of 103 titles (75%) that rated silver or better. Compare that to Xbox 360, which only saw 65 of 97(67%) and the Wii, who had 27 of 43 (63%) rate silver or better. In handheld front Nintendo DS pimps PSP with 8 of 117 titles rated ‘silver’ or better. The PSP by contrast only had 56 of its 130. But these figures doesn't reflect Industry numbers, it’s an individual research done by Japanese magazine Famitsu. If we go by sales no, than PSP had a best year, at least in Japan. All credit goes to Monster Hunter series for making PSP the undisputed King in the land of rising Sun.

 The only console which never takes Japan by storm is Microsoft’s Xbox 360. Is there any rivalry between Microsoft & Japanese people?  We believe that it’s a part of their culture. Japanese usually buy MADE IN JAPAN products, so it applies with Xbox 360 as well. Please exclude APPLE in this discussion. The company sold millions of its i range of products in Japan alone.

Now, We turn our attention to world’s largest manufacturer of gaming consoles i.e. Nintendo. The company had a rough year through out 2010 not only in Japan but also across all leading gaming markets. After roaring for 4 years, Wii crashed miserably in 2010. For the 1st time in Nintendo’s history their profits drops in 6 years. All blame to rise of PS3 & Xbox 360, as both launched their motion controller attachments in late last year. Nintendo DS, planets most popular handheld console suffered the most. Now, the company is pinning their hope on 3DS. The company will launch its glass free 3D marvel on February 26th in Japan.

Capcom, the publisher behind Monster Hunter series has reason to rejoice.  The company’s latest sales figure indicates that the game sold a whooping 4.1 million copies in Japan alone. According to the game's publisher, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd is “now the fastest selling PSP title ever in Japan” and “the fastest selling game in Capcom's history. The original franchise started with PS2, which was the 1st game in the Monster Hunter series. Its Wii version, popularly known as Monster Hunter tri was also an instant hit among masses.
