The PS3 is buggy, delayed, and is facing a monumental challenge from the 360. No playable games yet? The US will be lucky to get the PS3 by December of 06...by that time, the 360 will have 75+ games out including many blockbusters.



It is too bad though that Stringer didn't say ANYTHING of note about the PS3...it would put to rest a lot of the Fanboy Fantasy's like "the PS3 will come out with a surprise launch in March - WORLDWIDE - and will debut for $399." Right. Try $599 on for size.



Wow, this is probably the most inflamatory comment i've ever left. But I believe it.]]>Jan 5th 2006 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/


My predictions for the PS3?



1) We'll see more at E3, and the laucnh will probably be in the fall in Japan, but possibly worldwide (I doubt that somehow);



2) No more that $399 at launch. Even if they lose another $399 per box, they won't price the console any higher than what the Core 360 goes for.



3) I suspect, and some of Rockstar's comments seem to follow this idea, that there will be a "Grand Theft Auto" launch title (if that happens, I will be buying a PS3 at launch... I guarantee it).



Guess we'll just have to wait and see, hmmm?]]>Jan 5th 2006 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/Jan 5th 2006 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/


By your logic, the PS3 will be launching at $299, because that's the price of the Core 360 package. And if you think that's going to happen, you're living in a dream world. ]]>Jan 5th 2006 3:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/


And I also agree that Sony's Ps3 will launch for about 399 but no more than 499.



Best example look at the PSP when they showed it at E3 everyone said "omg how much will it cost $500?,its gonna be soo expensive...: Yea well it launched with the VALUE PACK w/ a bunch of stuff for $250. And it was a smash hit for Sony, its still a Must have gadget even after almost 1year, "http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-8900_7-1008327.html"

With games, however, 60fps is important (duh). I think that's why Sony is showing it off from the PS3. If games can actually run at 1920x1080p/60fps, that will be a major step indeed! (And besides, Sony is showing off "HighER definition" so they're pushing past the max of the HDTV spec.)



There's one problem though: you need to purchase a 1080p TV that (a) can take 1080p input and (b) can display 1080p/60. Those ain't easy to come by right now.

PEOPLE A DIGITAL ENGINEER say that it would be impossible from a mathmathical stand point for the PS3 to push out 1080p native, the RSX is a 7800 GTX bulit to talk to a cell chip instead of a Intel chip



sony took a shit a long time ago, now there just sucking up air.



I give my hat off to nintedo for keep the industry afloat with inovations, but agian MS will win out, they have all the money and the support behind them.

The longer they hold off, the longer we get to play some of the top titles that have only been around for 6mths or so.



PS3 will be the console to own. And any moron that thinks that nintendo are the only one that innovate, then too bad for you. As you've obviously never experienced some of sony's great games like Ico, Shadow Of Collossus, God Of War, Socom 1-3, etc,etc.

Then theres there peripherals like eyetoy, singstar & buzz. Comon I was a big nintendo fan in the snes 16bit era, but if anyone got too greedy & dropped the ball, it's ninbendo.



Why do you think nintendo hated giving up the catridge thing so bad, they were making developers pay through the teeth to use there patented catridge system, & thats why when sony came along with the playstation & disk format, 95% of developers could not get away from Nintendo quick enough. & this isn't even mentioning how ninty screwed sony over on a deal to make the earlier version of playstation, an add for the snes.



MS have only copied everyone else, I understand comments on there originality, as if sony didn't smash there way onto the console market with such ease & dominance, then Bill would have stuck to windows, he's finding out that sony won't fold as easily as sega & ninbendo did. & if sega hadn't been the innovator of online console gaming, then bill wouldn't have come up with that one either.





Sony will lead again, due to there marketing skills, business sense & fan loyalty. Every company is in it for the money.

But lets look at how the beloved sega, nintendo & Ms have treated us different.



Who gave us game backwards compatability straight out of the box first........ Sony



Who let us use the original ps1 duel shock on the ps2....... Sony



Who gave us a online service (when they didn't even need to).......... Sony



Who is trying to drag there consoles lifespans out for a decent ammount of time, instead of cutting it by another 2 years, like our friends MS........Sony



Who gave us the 1st console with straight out of the box dvd playback functions & were also responsible for leading the charge on the mass consumerism of dvd's......Sony



Who in this console generation released there console 1st allowing the competition to get a technology leap on them, that the competition failed to capitalise on due to superior playability & more fun games.....Sony



Comon everyone, I have been playing games for a long time now, & anyone who doesn't think sony has stood high above the pack for the last ten years, is a dreamer & has been living on another planet.

I will be buying my PS3 on launch day, & that could be a while since I live in Australia.... But I don't care as I have plenty of excellent PS2 games to finish.



Before you yell fanboy, I have an xpox (no fun) & I just sold my Cube with resi evil 4 (top game), so I have experienced all three. I just chose my personal favourite, as it has the titles I most enjoy.



Get over it all, you'll here PS3 news when you need to, not when you want to. Enjoy what you got or save & wait for a 360, they should have enough stock for you, around the same time the PS3 & Revolution launches.]]>Jan 6th 2006 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/ You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.... I have some alternative (and more accurate) answers to your questions.

Who gave us game backwards compatability straight out of the box first........ Sony

You're right, but only because it was the very first time that the exact same medium was being used in two different generations. Previously, the cartridge sizes and speeds were changing from one generation to the next, so different cartridge add-on slots were necessary. Sega was actually the first company to offer backwards compatibility between the Genesis and the Master System. As explained, however, this required an add-on cartridge converter.



Who let us use the original ps1 duel shock on the ps2....... Sony

Yippee. However, you forgot to mention the fact that the PS1 controllers lacked certain functionality that the PS2 ones offered. Therefore, what was even the point?



Who gave us a online service (when they didn't even need to).......... Sony

What online service? PS2 DOES NOT HAVE ONE! The online functionality for PS2 games is provided by the individual game developers. There is no singular online service. The ONLY systems with a cohesive, defined online service have been the Dreamcast, Xbox, and Xbox 360.



Who is trying to drag there consoles lifespans out for a decent ammount of time, instead of cutting it by another 2 years, like our friends MS........Sony

Only because they were caught off-guard and did not have enough time to thoroughly research/develop their next-gen machine in time..... The PS3 will not launch until Fall 2006 in Japan ONLY- you won't see the PS3 in the US/Europe before 2007. ]]>Jan 6th 2006 1:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/05/live-coverage-of-sonys-sir-howard-stringer/Jan 8th 2006 3:04AM
