Japanese Analysts Not Hot On PSX

Posted by simoniker on from the definition-of-lukewarm dept.

Thanks to GameSpot for their article discussing the potentially subdued reception to tomorrow's Japanese launch of Sony's PSX media center, which twins a PlayStation 2 with a digital video recorder and other multimedia options. According to a Japanese analyst quoted in the story: "The PSX is perhaps more of a publicity stunt. It will probably sell well for a month or two but the momentum isn't likely to hold up after that." It's also noted that "the main reason for analysts' lessened enthusiasm for the PSX is because the machine being released tomorrow isn't the same one that was unveiled at CEATEC in October", with analysts' consensus being that "lowering the specifications of the PSX hurt Sony's image."

    I'm sorry for being offtopic, but when I glanced at the subject all I saw from it was "Hot", "Japanese", "Anal" and a three letter word ending with "x".
