Including the bonus stages revealed in Famitsu recently, Super Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360) has a grand total of four new modes. Details and a video after the jump.

In the near future, a mysterious, growing, black void dubbed the Schwarzwelt appears at the Earth's southern pole. So begins the story in Atlus' first-person sci-fi RPG, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. Next year, DS owners in North America will don their own retro-cool helmets and plunge head-first into that black spot.

It's been a while since we last heard about Namco Bandai's God Eater. If you know Japanese (or have enough trust in your ability to navigate a menu without understanding a thing about it), you'll get to do more than hear (or read) about it soon. You can get to play the demo.

While it was not quite as fulfilling as giving another player a brutal beat down, the car-destroying minigame in Street Fighter II served as a sort of calming distraction from the constant fist, foot, and fireball on flesh action. We haven't seen it in any of the recent iterations of the series, but as shown in the latest issue of Famitsu, it may be making a return in Super Street Fighter IV (PS3, Xbox 360) along with the barrel smashing bonus stage.

Another game is getting ported to the PSP. Arc System works apparently intends to bring BlazBlue on your Sony handheld, this we found out coming from Famitsu's newest issue.

November 1 marked the launch date of Sony's PSP Go in Japan. How well did the new, UMD-less handheld fare in the land of the rising sun? Not too well, as Enterbrain reports.

It's numbers time yet again! Famitsu's come out with their hardware sales charts, albeit a bit late this week. Still on top: DSi. And what's this we see inching closer to the top, a mere 4,000 units shy? It's the PSP with 40,000, just a tad bit below the DSi who has 44,000. The Xbox 360, meanwhile, edges out over PS2 with just 2,000 more units sold.

It appears that Nikkei may have jumped the gun on that new DSi model that we reported about yesterday. According to Nintendo, the Nikkei piece is just "conjecture".

The last we've heard of Final Fantasy Versus XIII was at the TGS 09 about a month ago. While Square Enix has been hit with criticisms as to the in-development footage of the game, Tetsuya Nomura has now come out to clear out the air by divulging some more information on the matter.

So what transpired in the world of Sony's PS3 this week? Nate Drake's newest adventure is certainly off to a good start. And then there's word that the PS3 is continuing its newfound sales spurt in the land down under. Oh, and here's a no-brainer: rumblings about new entries in two of the PS3's biggest franchises have started to trickle out from the rumor mill. All in all, another good week for the PS3. Well, except maybe for that one particular console they threw into the Bravia. It didn't seem to get too banged up though.
