The system will be 25% smaller than the current model, will feature a sleeker design, and a built-in Ethernet port (no adapter required). Sony also says that there will be 120 new Playstation 2 games with online compatibility by the end of the year. That equates to thirty games per month or about one game per day for the rest of 2004."

    and a built-in Ethernet port (no adapter required)

    So ... did the last model require a transceiver then? Was it thin-net? 10-base-5? Some bizarre IBM token ring thing with a plug that looks like it came out of pre-transistor-age Soviet Russia?

    As someone who make console games for a living, I can say with confidence that:

    You are a fucking dunce.

    Why the hell did you bother typing all those words?

    They make absolutely no sense or have any relation to reality.

    One of the downsides of having worked in the console biz for so long is having to listen to every idiot like you spouting the same braindead drivel over and over again.

    Although I'm sure 75-80M PS2s have been sold, I wouldn't count them as the "installed base." Since PS2s are so poorly made, many people (myself included) have had to buy more than one after our first one broke.

    Thank you, I was going to respond similarly but my response would have ignored the entire class of idiots like that.

    Me thinks this guy reads ars.technica and thinks he's an arhcitecture expert now.
