I have given up with consoles. It might be quite interesting
however to see what it will be like.

I'm [not] surprise more people didn't find interest in this
topic.

Even though it's not cool to say so (corporation, not indie
enough, whatever), I love Sony. They've absolutely DESTROYED
the competition this gen, and they didn't just buy their way
to victory. Fucking smart, whereas Nintendo has been
ridiculously stupid, and all Microsoft have going for it is
processing power (and not for long). PS2, by the end of its
lifespan, will have the greatest library of games ever for a
console. Bank on that, bitches. They've already rendered
Nintendo's recent platformers obselete.

PS3 is supposed to have the most horsepower of the 3 next
gen... but it may be released after the others. No head
start on this third try... gonna be interesting.

obviously you haven't looked at the chart with the level of
eye vision that I have, it looks to me that it will be a
Christmas '05 release in Japan, or maybe early '06. I can't
see there being much difference in release times between the
XBox2 and PS3.

Could be a good system but with the fuck ups of the PSX Sony
could be losing their edge. They can make good systems but
they're starting to pile so much into them now. It's just
stupid. They're changing consoles from being consoles and
into some ultra media centre thingy which is stupid. A
console should be a console.

Hopefully it'll be a good system though.

WRONG!

They have backed away from that. The PS3 is going to be a
pure games console.

You should have been able to tell you were wrong by the
expression on the mans face in the picture.

You're right, also the world TOOL in the picture helps.

I'm worried about (Ver.1), (Ver.2) and (Premier). What the
hell does that mean? 3 version of the machine?

Or am I being stupid and what it actually means is:

Premiere of the machine at the end of this year with a
showing at E3 and TGS (WTF is that?) with the first version
of the tools released at the beginning of 2005 and a second
version in the second half of 2005?

Hey? I could be right or I could be wrong.

Tools are the programming tools released to the developers.
So it will be a 2006 release for the console. TGS is the
Tokyo Games Show.

Gotta be skeptical, though. Studies (by me, from my ragged
memory) show that release dates are the Ted Bundy of the
numbers world... they look trustworthy and inviting, but you
will get raped and die. All signs up to now have been
pointing towards Nintendo and M$ getting out of the gates
first, but I guess Sony's got other plans now. Maybe they
realize that they could REALLY do some major damage... since
the only hope of them being usurped now would be a
phenomenal opening campaign by a competitor. Nintendo seems
excited about the ''Revolution''.

Sony has been known to embellish the facts more than a
smidgeon... ''Toy Story 2 graphics'', anyone? But if this
DOES turn out to be true and they stick to it, I'm happy. I
think Xbox2 is going to see a late '05 release. If they
release after Sony, it's hopeless, they know that.
Horsepower is all they have now, and that aspect isn't going
to mean as much come next gen.

As for the ''Multimedia Renaissance Man'' angle... geez,
hardware developers have been bullshitting us about that
since the 3DO and the Philips CD-I. ''PS2 has DVD playback?
TUBULAR, DUDE!'' In the end, it's all about the games. This
system will deliver, don't you worry your pretty little
hiney off.

Sony are masters of hype and cool in most things they do,
they could still do major damage to says of the next Xbox
and GC generations by simply timing press releases well,
much in the same way they did against the Dreamcast.

True, they have the art of owning down to... an art. I don't
believe them, but I believe in them.

I am suffering from severe sleep deprivation hence my use of
random words in place of something in the correct context.

it was supposed to be damage to sales not says.

The Game Cube might not be the best console/have the best
games out there, but for the upcoming Zelda game alone I
would buy one (if I could afford one)...

Cool, then you can invite those hot bitches over to play a
game of Final Fantasy XVVI, after you fuck them of course.

I don't play on consoles I just came across the chart during
a google image search for a picture of a giraffe and
constructed a topic around it.

Awesome. I had heard about this for a while. If its good
enough I might get it . I'm not a big PS fan but this
console does sound interesting. Comparison to my gamecube
its good to have a PS for more racing games, or stuff like
that to show the graphics and my gamecube for rpgs.

For all the talk about Japan being the be-all and end-all of
gaming, looking at sales statistics over there, the best
selling games and whatnot, it's a laugh.

AND THEIR FPS' SUCK ASS

Itagaki and Kojima hate Japan.
