It also looks like they will be shipping 400k in the U.S. and 100k in Japan on launch. there were 1.5 million 360's at launch and there was still a shortage, good job Sony. I hate Sony so much.[/url]

Hey Ken, do you remember all the things you said about the Xbox 360? If not, let me refresh your mind:
“The Xbox 360 is Going After the PlayStation 2.”
Well Ken, at this pace, you will go after the Xbox 360…just make sure you launch the PS3 before the next round of next-gen consoles.
“The Xbox 360 won't change the type of entertainment.”
Neither will the PlayStation 3 with these constant delays, so hurry up before a cell phone can pull of PS3 graphics.
"Xbox 360 is 1.5, the PS3 is more than what I was expecting, so it's 3.5."
Yeah, you should probably name the PS3 the PS3.5 because it will launch so close to the PlayStation 4 that a 3.5 makes more sense than 3.
“The Xbox 360 is more of an Xbox 1.5 than a next generation console.”
Well Ken, the truth is that by the time you launch the PlayStation 3.5 in Europe, both AMD and Intel will be offering quad-core processors and some motherboards will support two of those processors, allowing people to have 8 cores inside their computers. Plus, both ATI and nVIDIA will be offering DirectX 10-class GPU early next year, meaning you will be the only one with an older shader architecture instead of the new unified model implemented in both Windows Vista and the Xbox 360.
Ken, now that I think about it again, you might want to rename your next-generation console as PlayStation 2.5.
Riiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaaaaacer!
I remember Kazuo Hirai saying at E3 that, "the next generation doesn't start until we say it does!"…hrmmmm, so when would that be Kaz?
Does the next generation begin this November with 400,000 consoles in North America, without Metal Gear Solid 4 or Fight Night Round 3. Oh, my bad, I forgot about Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaacer!
Ha Ha
This is what happens when you open your big mouth and talk trash about the competition. If you fail, everyone will laugh at you. This is definitely not a good start for the PlayStation 3 and if things don’t change, the PS2 successor is destined to fail. The console is expensive, delayed and will be outdated by the time it launches. Other than the Blu-ray Disc capabilities, the PlayStation 3 won’t bring anything new in terms of interactive entertainment.
Just pray Halo 3 doesn’t come up next March or green will be a color all Sony executives will forever dream with.

Mine never overheated, maybe it did if i had been playing for 6 to 8 hours straight, but even then it wasn't that bad.

While the breakdowns were fairly common (yes, mine indeed broke- constant freeze ups) they were normal. Let's not forget that the PS2 still doesn't function properly and is past it's 15th version. The PS2 hardware is crap. When it launched all that was talked about were dirty disc errors and everybody was standing it in different positions trying to make it play the disc.
MS wasn't expecting the resounding demand they got for the 360. Their estimates were blown away which is a good thing. The 360 has pretty much had the best launch to date.
This article was really just in retaliation against Sony execs bashing the Wii and 360 all the time. This article has plenty of truth behind it even if it comes off as fanboyish.

HD DVD might win the war against Blu Ray... HD DVD is coming out in the winter for the 360... and Blu ray, well, god knows when...

i dont know if either of them are really going to "win" i mean honestly everyone over the last couple of years have been going crazy buying DVD's and everyone now is just getting up to date with that....i just dont know if i see everyone ready and willing to start their movie collections all over again.

Very good point. There are still DVDs I need to round out my collection and I know for a fact I wont be starting over. I could really care less about HD & Bluray disks especially when Holodisks are going to kick both those formats ass'.
