They already got the PS2 software emulator patents last week, it looks like it's full steam ahead for their knight in white armor.]]>Jun 30th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/
Clearly Microsofts PS3 FUD is starting to wear thin, and people are seeing past it, that actually PS3 is fantastic hardware, fantastic value, and has the best lineup of games this year.

They are also getting the fact, that in 2 years less than Microsoft, Sony has managed to srink from 90nm process to 45nm process, and all the while Microsoft still haven't managed to fix RROD. Guess that's what you get when you buy hardware from a software company. If I bought a car from a washing machine company, I wouldn't be suprised if it broke down all the time.]]>Jun 30th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/
Microsoft has no reason to fear the PS3 at this point, the 360 is in a much better sales position than the PS3 and Sony has lost almost all of its exclusive developers. To compete Sony is going to have to drop the price of the PS3 down even more making it's recent profitability through game sales none existent again, and this is not even mentioning the quality of each generation of the PS3 has degraded since the first one came out. The FUD being spread about the PS3 is being done so by industry analysts who see no real saving factor for the unprofitable PS3 and the slumping profit margins being encountered by Sony over the past year. And don't go referencing the Joystq analysis showing the PS3 is going to over take the 360 because the only basis given in that is because of its popularity in Japan, which doesn't even make up 1/10 the world market.

Also the smaller cell processors you're referring to weren't even developed by Sony, they were developed by Toshiba's end of STI, Sony pretty much got out of the cell processor market Feb. 2008 when they used their portion of manufacturing and development to buy out Toshiba from the HD video market which was already won by Blu-ray. And those cell processors are all well and good if companies use them, but so far only a handful of devices use them, most prominently the PS3, and they cost 3x the amount to make as a comparable cell core processor (which is what the 360 uses). And the extra power exerted, and used by, those processors are hardly even being used because of the time and expenses used to develop for the things which are primarily needed to do graphics because Sony in their wisdom decided to use the processor for graphics instead of a dedicated GPU which is easier and cheaper to develop for.]]>Jun 30th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/
As an investor it wouldn't matter at all how the PS3 is selling, you just wouldn't invest in Sony you'd invest in the manufacturing contracts. Foxconn (AKA Hon Hai Precision) was up over 2% overnight because of this rumor/report. ]]>Jun 30th 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/
He stated "Sony has managed to srink from 90nm process to 45nm process"

This is untrue.

And you are right about the hardware development, most is developed by contract. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo do very little inhouse development on their systems, the boards, processors, and other cards are all developed and produced by other companies.

BTW Nintendo uses IBM CPUs, and mostlikely boards, and ATI GPUs.]]>Jun 30th 2009 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/

Before I get called a fanboy, I own a 360 and not a PS3. Oh and also this whole next gen console thing really hasn't impressed me. The HD switch and the vastness of some of the games is definitely an amazing feat, and the sheer power of these consoles impressive. However I don't think these changed gaming as much as the N64 did (sorry sony!). Oh and I don't have a Wii either soo I'm not exactly a "fan" of anyone. I guess I'm not hardcore enough =(]]>Jun 30th 2009 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 1:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/PS3 was getting price cuts rumors for over a year now,

PS3 Slim is unofficial so far, just like the price cuts however there is proofs that its actually real and might drop right before the holiday season]]>Jun 30th 2009 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/

Second of all, the power supply for the PS2 slim is in the unit now (in the US), it was only external for a short while.

Third of all, many people will tell you the Xbox 360 is smaller than the PS3 even though if you count the external power supply it really isn't (at least with the power supplies from the first two years of units, maybe the new ones are smaller), so apparently there is some customer and marketing value to an external power supply.]]>Jun 30th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/
Bundle this slim with Killzone 2 and price it at $199 and Sony might be able climb out of the deep hole it's dug for itself.

Sony makes money on each and every Blu-rey drive because they own rights to it so they would never remove it from their consoles, and besides how would you play your current games DVD drive can't read them.

Sony is not cutting prices till end of summer cause right now parents have no choice and have to buy PS3 with current price sticker.

There is no argument here in relation to which console is more powerful its PS3. Engadget reports about PS3 a lot because what is there to report about in regard to XBOX 360 or Wii. XBOX 360 is getting more RAM and Motion Control sometime next year and Wii will come in black. There you go I just covered all you need to know about those two consoles.

Playstation 2 was an amazing product and many people would like to taste Playstation 3 but it costs so much that many young people and some of us that aren't rich can't afford to pay $399.99

I am not mocking XBOX 360 or Wii cause in their own right they are very good consoles that have exactly what people want for the price they are willing to pay. I got Playstation 3 because it has what I wanted in one package 1080p, wireless ethernet, blu-ray, internal power adapter and most powerful processor.]]>Jun 30th 2009 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/30/sony-placing-ps3-slim-manufacturing-orders-for-delivery-in-july/Jun 30th 2009 2:20PM
