Insomniac and Sony have announced that they will be introducing a new ban policy for Resistance: Fall of Man which is effective immediately.

The first thing in the new policy is offensive user names and clan tags (including combinations of both, obviously). Some users have been combining the first three letters of their clan tag with their username to create words that violate the EULA. If you do this and get reported you will earn yourself a permanent ban from Resistance and your Playstation Network account will be suspended.

That's right, folks. Yet another US-based business analyst has chucked his hat into the ring, this time predicting that the Xbox 360 will be the next-gen consoles market leader. Sigh. You know, what we'd really like to do is get all these guys together in a room, lock the door, shout 'FIGHT' through the letterbox and retire to a safe distance...

The controversial soothsayer in this instance is one Bill Kreher of A.G. Edwards financial consultants. In a recent interview with Next Generation Bill has even taken the brave/foolish step to quantify Microsoft's dominance of the American market, stating that the Xbox 360's "first mover advantage" will see the console attain a 38% share by 2009. Well, if the Xbox 360 really does have, as Bill reckons, a five million headstart over the PS3 in the USA he's probably not a mile off! In the meantime the Wii will have a 34% slice of the pie, leaving just 28% for the PS3. Ouch!
