We’ve had a drought of PS3 news recently compared to certain other next-gen gaming platforms. But that’s all right. Each platform deserves its day in the sun, I think, and now is not the time for the PS3.

But we might find out something new soon, I hope. And the next big chance for that looks to be the PS3 Festival set to take place Oct. 22 to 30th in Tokyo.

The Akihabara Enta Matsuri (presumably held in Akihabara, that mecca of Japanese gaming goods) will provide a showcase for “all the new PlayStation 3 software and hardware,” though “it is uncertain whether the software will be playable or in video form only.”
