The past seven days have probably been some of the most eventful that the industry has ever known. With massive announcements from Apple, Sony and Microsoft within a few hours of each other, tech blogs scrambled to publish the most news that they possibly could. On this week's Confessions, I'll give you my take on the E3 topics that had you hot and bothered.

A gaming luminary talks prices, a great game gets smaller and touchier, and yep, here comes virtual reality banging.

Payday 2 dev David Goldfarb is back with another blurb about the state of the industry and whatnot. Are next-gen graphics and social networking on consoles important or just a distraction?

Sony currently has a leg up on Microsoft in the next-gen console battle, but according to one producer, an area where both the PS4 and Xbox One are very close is power.  Speaking of the term close, it does not describe the two gaming giants when it comes to spots filled on Amazon’s top ten list.

Since the announcement that the PlayStation Vita would have dual analog controls some of us saw this as an opportunity for a port of EA’s skateboard simulator Skate.  But it’s been over a year since the Vita launched and still no skateboarding games have emerged.  Tony Hawk's HD didn’t even land on the Vita but thanks to Sony and their partnership with Roll7 we can look forward to OlliOlli a side scroll skateboarding game that will flip its way on to our handhelds this November.

The disc-based console market – is it coming to an end?  According to former Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski aka Cliffy B., it is.

Man of Steel is in theaters now raking in the dough, so maybe it's no surprise that General Zod is coming to Injustice: Gods Among Us. Will he be the new version, the '80s version, or something else altogether?

 If you love the Assassin’s Creed franchise, you’ll get plenty more of it in the future, as Ubisoft has announced that there are three different games currently in development.  Also, The Last of Us just launched the other day and users experienced some auto-save issues.  Luckily Naughty Dog came to the rescue to save the day.

Aldo has a new PS3 Tools Collection. You know what time it is.

All of the recent speculation about used game sales with next-gen consoles has not only caught the attention and sometimes anger of gamers, but developers as well.  Instead of complaining about it, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says devs should just make better games.

Is it do or die time for the Zelda franchise?  It is according to one insider.  What about Sony and the PS4?  Is the company worried about its future?  Probably not, as it seems to have some very strong backing from several developers, including some who recently explained why they prefer the PS4 to the Xbox One.

Rogero's back with a new 4.41 custom firmware for those looking to be rocking on the latest firmware. However, this may be the last one coming from Rogero.

With E3 winding down, it’s no surprise that many debates over next-gen consoles have started to pop up.  So, with that being said, who “won” E3?  The PS4 or the Xbox One.  According to one industry analyst, the PS4 is the clear winner.

We’ve all seen the Thief trailer from E3 but this isn’t about the game. It looks like someone at E3 has walked away with Vlambeer in a backpack.  No really.  The entire company according to Vlambeer co-fonder and owner of the backpack Rami Ismail.
