Posted by ryuzaki0 on

Aleman writes "In this interview with Variety magazine, Sony CEO Howard Stringer confirms that the Playstation 3 will be released during the holiday 2006 season." Not very surprising given the available information.

    It's always the ones that come out a little later that get the advantage. Nintendo has been doing this for years...

    Atari: 7800!
    Nintendo: NES!
    Sega: Genesis!
    Nintendo: SNES!
    Sony: Playstation!
    Nintendo: N64!
    Sony: Playstation 2!
    Nintendo: Game Cube!

    I think a little bit of delay will let them make some technology upgrades, develop more games, spur up some hype, and give them the upper hand over X-Box 360. Not to mention whetting people's appetites

    Its a well known phrase: "anticipating something is almost as good as having it".
