Umm, why did you make a link to the games forum. If people were interested they would just look there.

Their checks and few and spaced. This is the only time of year (and specifically this year, due to the fact that the next gen consoles are all being revealed) where I'll be referring folks to the Gaming Forum thanks to E3.
waow ....160G Hardrive, 1.2 gigowatts & 256 'gigoflops'. the battle is on!! Xbox has a war on it's hands.
Gezzz it looks stupid!

I rarly check the gaming forum, but this does interest me some. From what that article reads & what ive heard its going to monopolize the market. I read a while ago on all the patents that Sony & the other companies involved were getting for the gaming technology of this & it said that it could monopolize the market & kill xbox for good.

id like to see that. I doubt it though. I think that anything sony comes up with Xbox will match. If Sony puts in a 160G hard drive then microsoft will put in a 200G hard drive etc..

Well right when Sony got into gaming with PS1 people knew Nintendo was done since Sony's pockets were so much deeper. Then Microsoft decided to give it a run & Gates knew he could challenge any company & made an awesome system. Sony stayed alive with rights to games & lower cost. Then when Sony decided to design PS3 in like 2001 they got 2 other huge companys involved (i think Toshiba, but forgot the other) to make the system & wanted to make something that would be unbeatable. Also to own the patents so no one can make the same or similar for some years. So I think Nintendo knew they were done a while ago. Game Cube was thier last hurrah.

No longer hardware. No need to worry about a follow-up to the Dreamcast.

The industry has 5% riding on production costs. Really it does. It's all about the connections made and the support from third-party companies.

At first it seems like overkill for Sony to release such a huge HD but then it makes more sense when you eye the actual specs of the processor. Somehow I think lots of space is necessary to run the Blu-Ray games.
Only problem with Sony creating the Cell processor and such a powerful console? It's EXTREMELY hard to produce games for it, apparently.
