10,000 dev kits shipped -- Sony pats itself on the back
Get prepared for a heaping pile of good news, Sony fans and Sony so-so's alike! Official news from SCEA's PR Manager, Ryan Bowling, has arrived. Just like Krazy Kaz said at the E3 press conference (although he may have been a bit early in saying so), more than 10,000 development kits have been sent out -- to 208 companies in 11 countries. That's good news, since it's an official statement. What's more is that the number of dev kits delivered is far more than Sony's older platforms, even the XBox 360 didn't send out so many. It's a good thing to get these kits in as many hands as possible.
Although... with SO many dev kits at SO many companies, why are we only hearing about a handful of games? How many could be in the works? God of War certainly came out of left field, so who can say something similar won't magically appear at the Tokyo Game Show? The TGS, guys, it's pretty much Sony's last chance to show the world "hey look, we've got a lot of games and more than a handful seem interesting... Riiiiiiiiidge Racer!" Well, maybe without the Ridge Racer. C'mon, you 208 companies! Show us what you've been cooking. We're hungry for some great PS3 gaming.
