No PS3 Surprises at CES

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 6, 2006 @01:34AM from the no-new-games dept.

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."

Wonder why? Probably because its miles behind schedule of coming out in "Spring" as previously announced.

Poor marketing strategy nonetheless. The only market Sony is worried about right now are families that will buy EITHER the 360 or the PS3. (Many people will buy both or just the PS3, those sales are already final). The longer PS3 waits the fewer families who will purchase just 1 will wait.
