WipEout HD Causing Seizures?
Last week TheSixthAxis reported that Wipeout HD was still on track. Shortly after that, though, Sony's David Reeves explained that the reason there's no firm release date is that "there is a specific technical problem with WipEout that we have to solve" and that the problem is "a really, really tricky technical problem that no region has been able to solve at the moment." Could seizures be the problem he was alluding to?

Is Metal Gear Solid 4 sole reason for Sony PS3 sales success?
Many people are talking about the sales of the Sony PS3 and that sales have boosted because of the major success of the exclusive Playstaion 3 game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. The sales of the console boosted through the month of June, this goes to prove that Sony PS3 exclusives are a must for future sales of the gaming console. If there are exclusive games many gamers will buy the PS3 console just for these games, like upon the release of MGS4 Sony released a sales bundle which was just for that game, this followed the man himself, oh yes Snake on his epic adventure.

Bioware: Mass Effect Trilogy Exclusive to 360 - Mass Effect 2 in '09?
In the just released September issue of Australian 360, comes the commitment of Bioware CEO Ray Muzyka "to bring the Mass Effect trilogy exclusively to the Xbox 360." Speaking exclusively to Australian 360 at EA's European Showcase, Muzyka also stated "we said we were committed to supporting Mass Effect as a franchise and have the trilogy on the Xbox 360, and that's still our goal", before adding to the question of the trilogy staying exclusive with what appears to be a subtle jibe at Sony, saying "we're always very ambitious in our goals and the most important thing is quality, so we're never going to compromise that." Not only will the trilogy stay exclusive to the 360, but it will be released entirely on the 360 platform. And for our gaming colleagues who enjoy their PS3's and Wii's there's still hope that they may yet get to experience the wonderful world of Mass Effect, albeit not within the Commander Shepard based trilogy. But beyond all the console positioning and future IP speculation are some juicy details for the current trilogy that should get fans excited for what appears to be a 2009 release for Mass Effect 2...

Eurogamer: Sony's David Reeves
Eurogamer: "It's been almost a year since we had a proper chat with SCEE boss David Reeves, and a lot's gone on. PS3 has apparently overtaken Xbox 360 in Europe ("We know what the figures are," says Reeves, no doubt aware of Microsoft's response), and just prior to our discussion at E3 Reeves announced that the 80GB PS3 would launch in Europe on 27th August for GBP 299 / EUR 399. However, the intervening period has also seen the cancellation of Eight Days and The Getaway, repeated delays for the ambitious multi-user Sony-world of PlayStation Home, the exit of Phil Harrison as head of Worldwide Studios, and Microsoft declaring it will win the entire console war - something it believes is backed up by its success with Xbox Live, Grand Theft Auto IV and key third-party exclusives. Naturally then, we asked Reeves about much of that as we stood by a pool in Santa Monica sipping Sony beer. Read on to find out what Sony is doing for European gamers, what aeroplanes and swords have to do with the console war, and why Reeves says Microsoft should stick LittleBigPlanet in Powerpoint."
