Will people still be speculating about the "upcoming Feb event" in March?

If it weren't for Blu Ray I dont think Sony would be in any hurry to launch PS3.
Xbox 1 is dead, the 360 isn't in stores. Gamecube is well, dead
PS2 is pretty much the only game in town right now.

There will be an event in Feb. I can put money on that.

February is like uh, a week away. An event that is supposed to like publically usher in the PS3 would very likely be publicized by now.
Unless people are calling the "Destination Playstation" or "Devstation" the Feb event....I just don't see it happening at this point.

Hey, there's no disputing those points - and IMO Destination and Devstation certainly don't count. Yet, Sony execs have gone on record, basically saying 'February.'
Now if it doesn't happen it doesn't happen. I know the point you were trying to make, but that said I mean it's just a little too much to be baiting with 'will people still be wondering in March?'
I think there's too much discussion these days on when PS3 will release and why it can or can't release on certain dates. I mean most of us have logical points on either side of the issue, and though I grant that those saying "Spring no-way" have more going for them in terms of reasonable doubt, I don't know why people get so worked up - and that certainly applies to the 'pro-Sony' crowd as well.
We've all gone on record - IMO there's nothing left to do but see who's right and the losers prepare for a quick round of 'I told you so's'... and from there, off to speculating on the next piece of console triviality.

going by these guys it looks like the last PS3 event was announced on Oct 12th and held on the 22nd.

That was at the Akihabara Entertainment Festival, which is (IIRC) an annual festival mostly dedicated to film. That is, the festival was a widely known and publicized event, and Sony's presence was merely a part of it.
Unless there is some other "festival" or trade show / event already scheduled for Feb that will draw people that will be interested in PS3, then Sony will have to put on its own event....it would have been publicized by now, just as DevStation and Destination have been...

Admitedly, this Feb event is getting to be a pet peeve of mine.
Mostly, because I see it time and time again being taken for granted that it's going to happen, and I have seen zero evidence that one actually exists. I have previously (not in this thread) asked for evidence of such an event...and got basically no response.If we're lucky, the "Destination" event will result in more concrete leaks of expected availability at least in the U.S., and the "Devstation" event will result in some leaks of that, as well as possibly RSX.
Other than that, I'm not expecting a whole helluva lot out of February on the PS3 front.

Well, whether or not Sony decides to have an official event...it's been said time and time again that the information embargo WILL end in February...so devs will be unveiling their games. That's really the only important part of all of this commotion anyway. The games will speak for the system on all fronts...even if Sony doesn't.

No, why?
That was back in September...in partial response to a previous "promise" being broken (no playable games at Tokyo Game Show). This is suppossed to lend credibility to a major unveiling in the next few weeks how?
So literally, there might be some Feb event...or alternatively there are some other plans...I would place my bet on the "alternative" (whatever that is) at this point.

PS2 launched with little in the way of compelling software, so I wouldn't put it past Sony to launch PS3 even if the games aren't ready. And even if they launch in Spring their probably won't be any really interesting games until Summer.

I think by then they'll be speculating about the upcoming March event. And looking forward to the April event. And dreaming about E3.
