PS3 not till 2005 or later.

This article can't be right.

I think the release of the PS3 this year would make plenty of sense. The PS2 proved that people would buy a crappy product (hardware wise, and game wise in the beginning) so long as it is the "next new thing". By releasing the PS3 this year, they will ensure another console war victory, as both Nintendo and Microsoft will have to release their consoles much later.

If it ships this year, I am the Queen of England and also, a wookie.

So chrisms, which do you own, a GC or XBox or both?

Not that it will happen, but can I claim that I know an actual Wookie?

I own none of them.

But if you deny the fact that the Playstation 2 is, at least hardware wise, inferior to the Xbox and Gamecube in both capability and stability than I'd have to guess you own a PS2.

And if you deny that the PS2 had few quality games to justify its $300 price tag, then I'd say you have an odd taste in games.

EDIT: I'm referring to the first year after the console was released when I speak of its crappy games.

The PS2 is made very poorly imo. I've had to open it up and clean off the laser twice because it gave me a Disc Read Error every time I tried to play a game. At first I thought it was just broken for good, but after doing some research I realized that the PS2 will choke and die at the slightest hint of dust. This is unacceptable for the price I paid, imo. And yes I do have an Xbox, and yes I do think its better.

It's plausible. This would give it an awesome lead in the NEXT GEN console race. Who would buy a X-Box2 or Supercube whatever if the PS3 has such a vast number of NEXT GEN titles that beat out the competition's new NEXT GEN game library?

You're explanation sounds better than mine, but I hope you weren't talking to me when you mentioned it not being a waste of silicon. I never said it was a waste, and thought it was a pretty good idea myself.
