Sony is in a world of hurt (in my opinion). Microsoft has already begun to flood the market now with the 360. When the PS3 comes out, the 360 will be cheaper and they will probably be releasing the next Halo at the same time.

I am a PS2 fanboy, I have been anxiously awaiting the release of the PS3. I am now just growing tired of waiting, I think I will stick to my PC gaming...maybe I will go buy a 360 soon.:(

I'm not sure it's that big of a deal. Had it been pushed to next year, it would be far worse.

Game releases don't usually come until the Fall anyway. However It wouldn't make me more or less hesitant from getting a XBOX 360.

I still have my feeling that it will not come out in the US this year, mark my words for it.

Sure there are articles about it, but there are also articles stating it was going to come out in March of 2006. We still havne't even seen 1 playable unit yet. Also, the new game just released for PS3 looks worse than Kameo (granted its still early in development I'm sure). The PS3 is by no means going to blow the 360 out of the water, power wise.

So even with this article, I still see it coming out in 2007 in the US.

6 million units worldwide is pretty much conceding xmas to microsoft.... but ONLY if microsoft can produce enough units to meet demand.

This article does make me happy i went ahead with the 360 now as waiting until next year to actually get one wouldnt have been much fun.

Plus their online service is gamespy affiliated.... no way anything with gamespy will be a "live killer"

also here are the first "in game" screenshots for the ps3.... (very inimpressive after the hype, even though i expect things to improve as devs figure out how to tweak the dev system)

6 million head start? so what. PS2 has sold over 90 million. plus, Untold legends does look like $hit. However, most of the other games look amazing.

Untold legends is the first game ive seen showing ACTUAL GAMEPLAY.... not prerendered crap or cutscenes or what "the developers expect the game to look like". I have no doubt things will get better as dev hardware becomes better but they better improve quite a bit before launch otherwise it wont be the "xbox 360 killer" the hype has made it out to be.

Just wondering where you've seen these other amazing looking games. No one else has seen them yet.

and I bet every single person with an Xbox 360 and a $400 video card agrees with you.

Look at video previews of Killzone, Motorstorm, Heavenly Sword and Unreal 2007.

Not to mention Square is on board, RE:5, Devil May Cry 4, and God of War 3.

no way Halo 3 will be out for the 06 holiday season. Gates has said it himself
