is this possible??

golem · May 12, 2005

revealed or released?

that would be megaton..

AB 101 · May 12, 2005

I guess there would be a REMOTE possibility for a Japan launch.

I think its still bunk but would love to be proven wrong.

Priming for the depression?

Doom_Bringer · May 12, 2005

That would be funny

Even if it did, it wouldn't be State side. It would be in Japan.

Is it really that bad?

Anyway

This year, that can't be right?

'Within the year' I think.

AB 101 · May 12, 2005

Guess we need our Japanese friends to patrol the Japanese gaming/news sites for more details.

I suppose Sony could have leaked something in advance of this XBox 360 media conference tomorrow/late tonight.

'Within the year' I think.

Well, that would certainly not be news worthy. Thats almost damaging if anything.

xabre · May 12, 2005

Not bloody likely, the media format isn't even nailed down yet and the current wrangling with Toshiba over a unified Blu-Ray/HD-DVD format risks delaying the PS3 release to possibly late 2006.

ThongyDonk · May 12, 2005

Babelfish says WITHIN THE YEAR SALE

21:36 SONY, next generation プレステ within year sale. In the detonating agent which breaks achievement hovering

Zerodoppler · May 12, 2005

Uh oh. MS gets no head start and Nintendo 6 months late to the party? Game over.

JackFrost2012 · May 12, 2005

"detonating agent" is Japanese for MEGATON

Man, babelfish translation is both hilarious and horrific at the same time.

ThongyDonk · May 12, 2005

no panic then as everyone is expecting a Q1 early Q2 release in Japan ....no?

What sort of dealy? 5 free games with purchase or a free online account?

Linkage please.

SpokkX · May 12, 2005

earliest autumn 2006 US/EU release

mark my words

Pug · May 12, 2005

I can only see it releasing this yr if SONY is really worried about 360 and the tech it contains.

neo2046 · May 12, 2005

my question is :

what make Sony so hurry??
this is a handheld market failure announcement? or
is Sony afraid of MS or Nintendo? I really don't think so

I'm the link, that should be good enough

AB 101 · May 12, 2005

Well, Sony certainly does not have to launch at the same time.

But more than 6 months latter could be a problem.

Worst thing for Sony to do is get cocky and go with the "We'll release when its damn good and ready" line of BS.

People, PS3 WILL NOT BE OUT IN 2005.

Anywhere. Period.

Bigfonzie · May 12, 2005

If this is true, nintendo are gunna be really late to the party.

xabre · May 12, 2005

Lakitu said:

Japan.

I don't see the PS3 launching anytime earlier than Q2 2006 and it should make this timeframe if they can quickly nail down the media format and if they don't have any production problems with their more exotic hardware (i.e. cell). However, as I said the potential for delay is there thanks primarily to continuing uncertainty over PS3's media format, i.e. Blue-Ray or a unified Blue-Ray/HD-DVD format. I'd say Sep 2006 launch for US is a reasonable estimate if all goes well; Nintendo will be around the same time.

AB 101 · May 12, 2005

People, PS3 WILL NOT BE OUT IN 2005.

While I agree, I will archive this anyway.

Elios83 · May 12, 2005

April 2006 in Japan is the most probable release period at the moment.

jarrod · May 12, 2005

Maybe they mean whithin the fiscal year (as in before April 2006)?

The Media format won't be an issue. That will be decided very, very soon and in plenty of time to put it into the PS3. Developers only need to worry about how much media storage space and transfer speed they'll have. And, for games, any approved format will have at least 30GB of usable space and minimum of 104Mbps.

mrklaw · May 12, 2005

why not Christmas? Just because you haven't seen anything yet?

Media is irrelevant, they don't have to burn discs yet, or even start making the machines just yet

Sony would probably like a 3rd December launch if possible.

Razoric · May 12, 2005

wait is xabre an "insider" too or is this just guess work? i cant keep you all sorted out.

Well clearly I'm just ranting, but its interesting to see so many people convinced they know when its coming, with very little evidence of PS3 at all from Sony.

You can't *all* be insiders.

Other than axsider (and we don't really know about him either), we don't have ANYONE claiming to know anything "insider" about the PS3 do we?

Certainly, the roundabout threads regarding the CELL, NVidia's GPU, BC,etc are pretty good evidence of that. Sony is much, much tighter lipped and will be coming out ~6-12 month later and yet some people expect PS3 news to match 360 news tit-for-tat.

solarplexus · May 12, 2005

Seems to be the full story?

next generation ????, within year sale in detonating agent of = hovering break?
SONY As for the SONY Yubara Takao execution part routine work, it responded to the interview of the Jiji Press, Ltd. to 12 days.

Same routine work among these, game machine "playstation for home (PS) concerning the next generation model of 2" "in the end of year trade war, portable playstation of portable type (PSP) with developing the PS next generation machine simultaneously enters into one of the choices in Europe and America", that if you express and are quick the possibility of selling even within year was suggested.
