This is not only a problem for Russia. I've known this since yesterday and I live in another European country.
Unfortunately the "unofficial" word is that it is going to be delayed at least 2 weeks, maybe even close to a month. I don't know the reason why but it will affect whole of Europe, I can't speak for the US release...

"It looks to me like Microsoft didn't learn their lesson from last time (Xbox 360 launch)"

Nope, unfortunately, the thing that MS learned is that they can do it and get away with it, at least with the US crowd. MS's effort not to be late at the motion control war, like it's effort to be the first to release a "next-gen" console, is again with a product that clearly does not function properly. It was evident from the beginning, how many times ...

First of all what does kinectimals has to do with 3DS, that thing is hideous...
Dude, I have a DS and I love it but I'm reserving judgement about 3DS. I play my DS often and continuously sometimes for hours. About the 3DS now. If you tilt the screen a little bit you loose the effect. If you think that you can play more than 15-30 minutes holding the thing absolutely still and also trying to push the buttons without moving it, then the 3DS is probably the best console in the world ...

You get tired by playing the 3DS (not just the eyes).

The thing is that's its impressive at first. Later on, when you realize that if you move the console just a little, and when I mean little, I mean VERY LITTLE, you loose the 3D effect and you can't even play. See all these people watching the 3DS in the nintendo booths? See how focused and still they seem. It's because the don't want to loose the 3D effect, cause if they move, it will take some time to read...

I don't work for Sony, but my line of work (not a game journalist either - I write some articles for a puclication in my country but it's not my primary job) gives me access to this kind of information, sometimes much earlier than the majority of the game press..
Sorry but I can't tell you more about any other games, but I can tell you that from September probably, if not earlier, Sony is going to increase their HDD sizes for the PS3, that's the reason for the shortage...

for those who don't believe me, here's a link to my comment 26 days ago, long before the screens that leaked, describing exactly what you see in the screens.

It looks more than great graphically, Sony is going to se the bar for one more time. It's full of action, that's all I can tells you right now. The rest you will see with you...

Rock Band sold less than 3 million, so it's not a very good example. I don't think MS will be happy with 3 million sales.
The Wii is 200 and bundled with a game. If Natal is 150$ you'll also need the Xbox 360 and a game. Also Nintendo has the Mario and the Pokemon brand names for the casuals. MS doesn't own any casual IP that can make a difference.
The Playstation Move with the camera will cost 60$ (and you can mark this post for future reference). The whole pa...

Exactly right mate.
I remember Greenburg, before and after 2009's E3 where they actually showed nothing, saying that they had a lot of announced games for 2009. They actually had nothing...
Last year's E3 was an embarrassment for MS. They showed a prototype of Natal that failed on stage (bottom of the avatar's show anyone?), a scripted Milo and nothing else. After E3 they continued to show Burnout Paradise demo which magically disappeared after the removal of the i...

maybe also the fact that there are only 3 enemy types in the whole game and there aren't any bosses. Only 2 types of weapons? The game is pretty good for the first 30 minutes but very soon it gets pretty boring, because it's the same landscape over and over again and the same 3 enemies. Also for a survival horror game it seemed that the bullets where everywhere. I finished every chapter with a full inventory.
maybe the fact that there are no puzzles at all, you just have to ge...

um, no it isn't
The fact that it has only 3 enemy types in the whole game (not counting the flying chairs of course...), only 2 types of guns and no bosses doesn't help. It gets boring pretty fast.
Also the fact that the level design is last generation doesn't help either. In every episode, you have to get somewhere but the road is blocked, so you have to go around the whole mountain to get there. This happens 2-3 times in each episode, seems like a way to make the...

890K is far from a system seller, so it won't hurt them as much sales-wise, mostly their image.

I've seen motorstorm 3 and although it doesn't surpass the original rendered footage, the graphics are miles ahead of the 2 previous games. It also much more action oriented than the 2 previous ones
I'll give you a very small glimpse of new features: buildings that collapse in the middle of the track.
The sad thing is that it's meant to release in Q4 (fiscal year)

I don't know about Mass Effect 3, but Mass Effect 1-2 is confirmed that they are coming to the PS3 (privileges of the job...)
Also LBP2, Resistance 3 and God of War: Afterfall (PSP title) are all releasing Q3.
Motorstorm 3 (features buildings and environments that collapse and other stuff) which I saw recently is slipping into Q4 along with Killzone 3. Also Sony is raising their HDD sizes for their basic models.
The others I don't know about, I've seen nothing.
