A new report released on Tuesday by DFC Intelligence suggests that if Xbox 360 sales don’t pick up, Microsoft will likely blow its one year lead in the industry and become a distant third in the console war behind Nintendo and Sony respectively.

MCV’s prediction that Sony may be soon unveiling support for terrestrial digital broadcast service Freeview for the PLAYSTATION 3 is looking spot on following comments from Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand boss Warwick Light. He told Kiwi outlet The Press that the company is “hoping next year… to release a digital tuner for the PS3, turning it into a programmable TV recorder.” His timeframe? First quarter of 2008, alongside the New Zealand launch of Freeview.

Freeview is already available to fans of receiving television signals in the UK, broadcasting dozens of television and radio channels. It’s possible that the PS3 TV tuner could simply be added via one of the console’s four USB ports and that larger hard drive options may coincide with the product announcement.

But I’m just riffing here. I’m sure we’ll know by Games Convention in August if this whole thing pans out.

Over two minutes of EA’s Army Of Two gameplay, not a second of “witty” dialogue and a brief look at the game’s weapon customization system. Lots of co-op shooting, tasty hovercraft piloting and a plethora of crouched walking are all featured. These two must make weekly trips to the chiropractor.

And by Halo History Pack, Microsoft of Japan means a “Platinum Collection” package featuring both Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 for a paltry 2,980 yen (about $25 USD). Microsoft is readying the super-budget two-in-one Halo History Pack to get Japanese gamers—okay, Western ex-pats—hyped up for the Xbox 360 release of Halo 3. The double pack, with built-in backward compatibility updates, ships to Japanese retailers on September 12.

Sick to death of hearing about everything Halo yet? You’d better get out of this chickenshit outfit now then, buddy, ’cause it’s only going to get worse.
