PS3, Holiday 2006
Well, it seems that Microsoft has a 1 year launch window after all.
http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20051105-5530.html In my opinion, it now doesn't really matter if one console is technically superior to the other. Microsoft has this generation in the bag. Sony must have known that they would have been late quite a while ago (http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showth...87#post571687). I believe they run the risk of alienating their core audience by promising something they knew they could not deliver. Thoughts? |

First of all, this article is old, and was posted already (The Hollywood Reporter article). See: http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25163

As for thoughts - duh. PS3 in Spring in Japan and late 06 in the US has always been the most likely option. But we actually don't have any confirmation of a release period yet, for the US. The article contains the author's own statement that it'll release a year from now, which is likely derived from the "anonymous film exec" quote included in the article, not from Stringer or Sony.

As for the (rumored) 1 year head start in North America, MS will need it. NA is the only territory MS has shown they can go toe-to-toe with Sony and win, even if only by a sliver. They will need that success to bolster support in other regions. Heck, they might even sell 1 million X360's in Japan. |

It has been well established among this forum that Sony would launch the PS3 in Japan for spring 06 then in late fall 06 for north america.
Not only has that article been posted before but the news bit comes off as a "meh" since most people had a feeling the PS3 would likely be released in North america next fall. And to say microsoft has this console "in the bag" is as laughable as saying the Leafs will win the Cup this year... Come summer 06, the North american anticipation of the PS3 will become unbearable! |

Being first doesnt mean you're going to be the best. Take a look at the Saturn.. or Dreamcast.
In fact, take a look at this comparison; http://360countdown.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3145154 |

There is still an element of truth to your statement Shifty, the PS3 is expected to be released Spring 06 in Japan. Therefore, the 360 is technically having a few months head start not a year.

MS does not have this next gen in the bag, like always, it's anyone's game.

I don't see how an inferior console will win the next generation, against the dominate player, if they could not win the current generation with a much superior console. It makes no sense.

I dont get how stubborn these people are. Last gen the ps2 was very disadvantage due to it lack of hardware supremacy and hard to developed for and the next gen, the ps3 will be the most powerful and relatively easier to develop for and Yet some people still think ps3 is the xbox of the current gen.

Its very different this time. MS made an excellent development platform and they're coming out first. The only disadvantage Microsoft has this time is fighting against the PlayStation brand. |

We know that more than 75% of Sony's revenues come from the CE division, and next year Sony Pictures should be receiving a windfall from the Da Vinci Code. There's a strong possibility that if the CE division is able to turn itself around marginally and Sony Pictures generates some decent profits based on some of the titles lined up for it (Memoirs of a Geisha-DVD, Pink Panther) then a subsidised PS3 might not necessarily mean Sony will post a loss for FY2006.
