We’ve already had a pricedrop in Europe and one in North America and now it seems that Capcom expects that by the end of this year Sony will announce another pricecut for its machine.

Immersion and Sony were in a fight for the Rumble-function of the SIXAXIS controller of the PlayStation 3, but since the fight is over it’s possible that there will be a new SIXAXIS controller with rumble. We don’t have confirmation yet that there will come a rumble SIXAXIS controller on the market, but a rep from SCEA told Kotaku that the Rumble-SIXAXIS controller exists. Let’s hope they start packing those new PS3 consoles with the new SixAxis soon!
We can’t deny that the Nintendo Wii is still hot on the market and even months after the launch of Nintendo’s new console it’s still hard to find a Nintendo Wii. George Harrison, vice-president of marketing at Nintendo of America, said that Nintendo can’t assure that there won’t be any shortages in the last quarter of this year. He advices us to buy a Wii when we see it in the stores since the thing is pretty rare. In Europe shortages aren’t around no longer but in Japan and America it’s still hard to find the popular Wii-console. (more…)
