Topic: General - Sony Pushing Music Unlimited Onto The PSP, Xperia Play, NGP

Sales of the 3DS and PSP have reached parity just five weeks after the release of Nintendo’s new console in Japan. Although the 3DS remains the number one selling hardware of the week it does so by a margin of only a few hundred units. The editorial team are consistent in their critical but fair perspective on the changing landscape of our industry. The features and interviews are great, and it is definitely one of those places I visit regularly to keep myself current on what is going on out there!
