Playstation 3 Development Underway

Posted by Zonk on from the next-gen-shiny dept.

At least in the United Kingdom, developers are already being handed development hardware for Sony's next-gen platform in anticipation of its debut at E3. From the article: "Sony plans to show the next-generation PlayStation off in public for the first time at its pre-E3 conference in Los Angeles in May, where it will almost certainly debut within a few hours of the public unveilings of Nintendo's Revolution and Microsoft's next-gen Xbox."

    I wonder at what point next-gen consoles will begin to not create the positive hype that seems to currently surround them. I'm not a huge console gamer, but at some point people will no longer be willing to shell out the money to move to the newest console until a time when the price of the console has dropped well below its initial levels. Even in the PC world, the percentage of people that will rush out to pick up the newest video card seems to be dropping. There isn't quite the anticipation that there once was.

      In most cases I would agree with you, but I would give an exception to the PS3.

      As a geek and longtime gamer, I'd let go of one of Natalie Portman's breasts to hold onto a cell processor right about now.

    What's with all of this Playstation stuff? I've still got my NES.
