No PS3 Surprises at CES

Gamespot reports that, while CES has had loads of interesting news to give up about many technological trends, the next next-gen console was suprisingly quiet at the event. For the most part the Sony Keynote talked high definition this and 'new media' that. From the article: "However, it was only when Stringer whipped out a PSP that gamers' ears perked up. Stringer used the handheld to show off LocationFree, Sony's Internet-enabled video system, which streams video to multiple TVs, PCs, or PSPs wirelessly or over the Web. To demonstrate, Stringer showed a live East Coast TV broadcast being played onto the PSP via a nearby Wi-Fi hotspot."

Disappointing, but not a big surprise anyway

... since Sony told everyone last year at E3 that it was going to go quiet while it went off and finished the console. They didn't ever state at any point that they'd do announcements at CES, or even this year's E3 for that matter.

It's a fairly good bet, I'd imagine, that something will be shown off at E3 given the amount of floor space they've reserved. But who knows.

$300 for an Xbox360 core was cheaper at launch than the NES, SNES, N64, Xbox1, PS1, and PS2 when you consider inflation.

$300 is still a chunk of change, but I wish my $1500 computer had 3x 3.2ghz processors and that monster of a video card.

You missed something

With a ton of X360 articles about every little detail before, during, and after launch, I have to wonder. Especially when it wasn't even mentioned as a side note that over 4000 devkits have shipped so far. Even IGN got this one. Not a large piece of news, perhaps, but it demonstrates lots of stuff is going on behind the scenes.
