Hot air to slow sales on the XBOX2

[slot32]

They're 'hinting' that it's possible that they'll release the PS3 in 2005 because they want people to just get that 'shadow of a doubt' before they rush out and get an XBox2 *knowing* (supposedly) the PS3 is at least a year away.

For them, just getting your to stop for a second and consider maybe waiting for the PS3, compairing the 2 systems and *then* deciding which one to get will be enough for them...

Then again... maybe they have a supprise for us :)
