Some companies said it couldn't be done, but one company have suceed in doing it! Pioneer have managed to make a 16 layer disc able to hold 400gb of data! And the added bonus of that is the read speed is faster then Blu-Ray. So this disc holds more data, reads faster and is cheaper to produce. What happens now will be very interesting but i think it shows dvds are going to be around a lot longer yet!

Can read the press release here

If you don't understand japaneese then too bad for you, however i don't think you need to speak the language to guess what is going on

Some very interesting information has just been passed onto me. This type of info will never be shown on Gamespot what with their Konami contracts and all.

Sales figures for Japan for the second week of MGS4 have just been leaked. In what can only be described as horrendous the sales have plummeted from selling 460,000 copies of MGS4 last week to just 21.000 the following week! That if true makes Metal Gear Solid 4 the biggest drop from week 1 to week 2 sales in history. To put that into perspective that is 439.000 LESS then the week before!

To make things worse the game barely limped to number 3 in the charts being beaten by Super Robot Wars....

The hardware figures should be released soon so will update soon as i have them.
