    As with the so-called L4D2 'controversy', I find myself almost embarrassed for this vocal minority within the PC gaming community. Who once again are whinging about a game they haven't played, using a system they haven't tried, on the basis that it might not be to their liking. I can't think of anything more irrelevant.

    I loved The Path, and I will no doubt love this. We need more people pushing the envelope of what can be achieved with a 'game'.

    By far the most surprising hit of those mentioned is New Super Mario Bros on the DS - such a traditional and straightforward game, it beggars belief that it has sold so well. No wonder they're pushing a very similar game onto the Wii this month.

    I've largely enjoyed reading people's comments on the remodelled site. It's just the silly or abusive ones that need moderating. I also think it's fine to discuss the relative merits of different platforms with passion, and obviously you need a thick skin to enter public discussions on the internet. But some of the comments here don't even attempt to pass for debate.

    Such a shame about the trolling below. Time for some proper moderation, Edge online?

    These are worrying figures to me, because they paint the Sony (and Microsoft) console divisions as loss making enterprises chasing what might be a mythical pot of gold - it bears the hallmarks of the dot com boom where the bubble eventually burst.

    I'd be interested to know whether Sony actually expects to eventually turn a profit on the PS3. Is it just expected at this part of the cycle? Or are these losses simply an unavoidable cost of grabbing market share while the gaming market expands? Don't suppose the answers will come easily or quickly.
