More PlayStation 3 Predictions

GreyGusMan writes "On the heels of last week's report that the PlayStation 3 would be released by the end of the year, CNN/Money is now reporting that Sony will not release its next console until 2006 - a year later than most of the industry has been predicting up until now. The column points out that PlayStation 2 sales have remained stong for much longer than the PlayStation and the technology Sony has planned will take a long time to create. Meanwhile, the same column mentions that the expected May price cut may be less than expected. Most people were expecting the PS2 to drop to $149, but $179 is now also a possibility."

My PS2 aint gonna last till 2006...

Oh man, my PS2 is creaking with age already. If they want to wait so long, maybe they should have made the PS2 with some better quality components... I think I got one of the duff batch (now recalled), but who keeps receipts for such toys? I should'da listened to my Ma...

If they are really serious now about waiting that long, we'll could end up with a rushed product after an earlier release of the next MS console. Ho Hum.

Which is odd, since the Xbox is actually in _third_ place, not second like they'd have you believe. They're behind the gamecube, at this point, by 3-5 million.
