State of PS3 Production
Some things have been out in the know already but some confirmation from Philly...
Harrison: "We are in full swing" Thursday 3-Aug-2006 11:07 AM Sony head-honcho Phil Harrison details the on-going PS3 development train Word recently reached us that the PlayStation 3 has officially entered production, and in an interview with The Guardian, Sony's president of worldwide studios, Phil Harrison has shed some light on the on-going development work on the console. According to Harrison, "It's all going well. We are in full swing, from a developer point of view, and over 10,000 developer kits have been shipped. Developers now have final [PS3] hardware in their hands, though there will be some upgrades to the operating system - there's nothing unusual about that. The new controller is now in developers' hands, so all the pieces of the puzzle are there." Also in the interview, Harrison comments on the arrival of working Blu-ray drives in the PS3 dev kits, noting that many studios also have blu-ray burners in their PCs, "so they are now doing their first iterations of games running off discs," he says. "Signs are good," adds Harrison, "right now there are more than 100 Blu-ray movies available today, in the US. More than 100 games are in development [for the PS3], and all the major third party publishers have pledged their strategic support for the platform." Sony is gearing up for its next big push for the PS3, which will start at the Tokyo Games Show on September 22, where the father of PlayStation, Ken Kutruagi is scheduled to give the keynote speech. Hopefully with the appearance or some new game titles and a more solid-looking launch line-up, Sony will be able to make up for the mostly-negative reaction to its showing at this year's E3. Stay tuned. Source: CVG.com |

The selection of movies is "gamer" oriented too so the titles are not of the highest taste at the moment, IMO.

I might be missing it entirely, but from what I can see Harrison does not touch on production in that comment at all. I'm amazed how many are reporting it as a comment on production just because one games website initially did - talk about a sheep mentality.

Also, what's with Harrison saying that there are 100 titles available in the US? AFAIK, that is most definitely not true. |

Anyone at siggraph see a 'real life' PS3?
I am really beginning to wonder when we will actually see a real, finished final spec box running on it's own. Ati were showing off a final spec 360 to the public at siggraph last year. I remember, it was running a ruby demo and was caged up in a glass bubble. With no overheating issues either. Considering the launch dates differ by a year and 2 weeks, I'm beginning to wonder... [edit] I also find it odd the average game would require 100 devkits. Perhaps that includes obsolete ones too. |

I think that does include older devkits. 47 PS3 SDKs per company, when many of the employees are working on content creation, doesn't make sense. Unless they're using Maya on PS3 Linux

Where does the 211 companies statistic come from? and if 211 companies why not 200+ games? Seems a little odd. |

In E3 2006, they had 1 retail PS3 unit for each "demo" room (I think 8 in total), showing Blu-ray playback, Cross Media Bar interface, Controller, The Eye of Judgement and em... I forgot the rest.

There'd be alot more than 100 games in development. At TGS last year there were already 100+ games in deveopment for the japanese market alone iirc. Gamespot for eg. has 170 games listed. Last edited by Stillmatic; 07-Aug-2006 at 10:30. |
