It's an overnight success story that's been almost three years in the making: For the first time since its launch, Sony's PlayStation 3 outsold rival gaming console makers in September, thanks to a price cut that brought the PS3 more in line with Microsoft's and Nintendo's offerings. The PS3 sold ne...
For years, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 have been gut-punching each other with price cuts while the Nintendo Wii just sits on the sidelines with a smug little grin on its face.

This is Nintendo's first price cut for its market-lea...
Chasing down rumors in the video game blogosphere can be as risky as a Bowser boss battle in "Super Mario Galaxy."

The gaming console rumor factory is grinding away again, pushing out shiny new reports of Microsoft's alleged plan to cut the price of its Xbox 360 gaming system by up to $100 in the U.S. The rumors are based on an image purported to be of an advance Target ad sheet with a price of $299.99 for the 1...
The prospect of a cheaper PlayStation 3 has been churning its way through the gaming world's rumor mill all summer long, and now it's reality. The big question for industry analysts and gaming enthusiasts: Is it too little, too late for Sony? The blogosphere buzz ratcheted into high gear Tuesday wit...
It turns out that the video game entertainment category is not recession-proof after all, judging from the NPD Group's most recent monthly report. Retail sales games in July -- the fifth straight month to register a decline -- plummeted to $848.8 million, a 29 percent drop compared to this time last...
Though the video game industry weathered several months of relatively healthy sales despite a troubled overall economic climate, declarations that the sector is recession proof may have been premature.
