Is Sony Going to Reveal Their VR Headset Next Week?

There are several reports that Sony is going to reveal their rumored gaming VR headset at GDC next week. Techradar reported that "developers familiar with the tech" said it will be at GDC 2014.

There have been reports through the year that they have been working on a gaming VR headset for the PS4, something similar to the Oculus Rift. It sounds like the VR headset does exist its just that Sony hasn't officially confirmed.

If its priced right and most games are compatible with it then it could be a huge success.

Browns May Have Accidentally Leaked Their Free Agent list

Poor Cleveland Browns. They just can't seem to do anything right. Just when you thought things couldn't get worse this happens:


This was taken during general manager Ray Farmer's press conference. It looks like its probably their free agent list.

Falcons Sign Paul Soliai, Tyson Jackson and Jon Asamoah

The Falcons are trying to fix their terrible offensive and defensive lines. Today they signed Dolphins DT Paul Soliai, Chiefs DE Tyson Jackson, and Chiefs guard Jon Asamoah. They also resigned Jonathan Babineaux and a few other players.

Overall a good move by Atlanta who desperately need help at offensive and defensive line.

PS4 Sales Over 6 Million, Passes Wii U Sales

The PS4 has now sold over more than 6 million units worldwide. Its launch in Japan (around 370,000 units so far) helped push it over the 6 million mark. It has sold around 2 million more units than the Xbox One and has now passed the Wii U in sales which is around 5.8 million. Infamous Second Son should push sales even further when it releases March 21st.

Persona 5 and More Confirmed For North America

Persona 5, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, Persona 4 Dancing All Night and Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth have all been confirmed for North America. Persona 5 and Persona 4 Dancing all Night will come out in 2015 and the rest are coming this year.

Not much is known about Persona 5 but if its anywhere near as good as Persona 4 it will be a must have. Its coming to PS3 in 2015.

Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is Persona 4 Arena 2 in all but the name. It will continue the storyline of its predecessor, which was a sequel to Persona 4. Its coming to PS3 in 2015.

Persona 4 Dancing all night is a rhythm game set in the world of Persona 4. I'm not too big on rhythm games but I may like it more than others since its Persona 4 themed. Persona 4 Dancing all Night is coming to PS Vita in 2015.

Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth looks like its pretty much Etrian Odyssey with Persona 4 and 3 characters. That certainly isn't a bad thing however. I don't care for the whole chibi thing though. I mean both Etrian Odyssey and Persona are obviously targeted towards an adult audience so why chibi? Anyway Persona Q Shadow of the Labyrinth comes out this year for the 3DS.

It is definitely a good time to be a Persona fan.

Microsoft Rejects Indie Game Rime, Now A PS4 Exclusive

Rime, (originally known as Echoes of Siren) by the independent company Tequila Works based in Spain, is now going to be a PS4 exclusive because Microsoft didn't want it. The game was going to be a Xbox exclusive but Microsoft doesn't care about single player games, indie games or anything that has a bit of creativity. They hate games like Journey, Flower, Sound Shapes etc. I'm not making this up. The CEO of Tequila Works explained why it's not coming to Xbox:

"Then the Xbox One plans were announced and everything changed. The people at Microsoft say the game doesn't fit in the strategy of the new console, that they are looking for "connected experiences"
and the social factor. Rime didn't fit because it was a single player game, a very traditional game experience."

I'm sure if it was online only, had a bunch of guns, shooting and blood everywhere Microsoft would have snatched it up in heartbeat.

Here is a trailer for Rime: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=V-JunUax8xg

PS4 Hits 5.3 Million Sales, Xbox One at Around 3.6 Million

Earlier I wrote about the PS4's very successful month in January. Now we know exactly how well it has done. The PS4 has now sold over 5.3 million units worldwide as of February 8th. So that's about a million or so in January. And January is always a slow month for video games. The console hasn't been out very long and it hasn't even launched in its home market yet.

The Xbox One is sitting at around 3.6 million sales. There are many reasons why it isn't selling as well as its competitor but the huge backlash the Xbox One got at E3 last year and the higher price point (who would pay more for a less powerful console?!) are likely contributing factors.
