Playstation 3 Pre-E3 Unveiling

Posted by Zonk on Wednesday April 13, 2005 @08:39AM from the time-travel dept.

Just as a reminder, the Playstation 3 is going to take it's bow before E3 proper as well. The Guardian has the story that the PS3 will debut four days after the Xbox360's introduction on MTV, at Sony Pictures Studio in LA. From the article: "Sony spokesfolks have hinted in the past that PS3 - or whatever it will be called - will be launched ahead of E3. Past product roadmaps have pointed to an early to mid-2005 launch. The company gave the PowerPC-derived 'Cell' processor on which the new console will be based its first public outing in February." Penny Arcade, as always, has the best grasp of the situation.

"Why keep coming out with new cars models? There's nothing wrong with the ones we have already, right?"

Nice red herring, dick. But, entertaining your analogy, no, we do not need new cars every year. My point was that the consoles we have now are great. Releasing a new console really dries up the amount of software that comes out for its predecessor, in terms of quantity (N64) or quality (PSX). Going back to your dipshit analogy, it'd be like there was no more gas available to the older cars.
