The main processor for PS3, the Cell processor wont be ready for mass production until 2005.
We say its ready at early 2005. That means the PS3 will launch in late 2005 maybe early 2006 in Japan. (we say late 2005 just for the record)..
That means the European and American models will launch maybe 6 months later. In 2006.
Thats 5 years.

Would people have expected the PSX to live for 6 almost 7 years when it was only 2 years old? No.
PSX is going to continue to live for another few years.

PS2 will live a long time as well. Especially if it will have these types of quality titles throughout its lifespan so Sony wont need to release a new console that early.

That\'s what i thought too.  I believe ps2 won\'t comes out in japan at least not until late 2005 as the earliest.  or Perhaps March 2006 for a six years life time.  That\'s about 4 years from now.  Now is 2002.  But we, Americans won\'t get it until Maybe late 2006 as the earliest.  Perhaps Oct. 2006.

Even more news...


As expected, Gran Turismo series producer Kazunori Yamauchi made an appearance at the \'Tokyo Amlux Auto Salon\' last weekend in Japan. At the event, Yamauchi-san unveiled a new version of Gran Turismo developed exclusively for Toyota, answered questions from the assembled crowd, and revealed preliminary details regarding his next project, Gran Turismo 4.





To begin, Yamauchi-san provided some background on his massively popular racing series. Specifically, he applauded Toyota of their continued support. In his own words, he said, \'Toyota was one of only three or four companies which were immediately supportive of the Gran Turismo series.\' As a sign of his gratitude, Yamauchi-san unveiled a special version of Gran Turismo dubbed \'Amlux\' which features all Toyota vehicles and will be on display exclusively at the Amlux dealership in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.





Continuing, Yamauchi-san demonstrated \'Gran Turismo Concept,\' a mini-sequel in the series featuring all concept cars available for the PlayStation 2. As he raced around the Route 246 course, Yamauchi-san explained the delicate nature of vehicle modeling and attention to detail in designing the backgrounds. More intriguing however, he went on to talk about the next chapter in the series, Gran Turismo 4. Specifically, Yamauchi-san said development was still relatively early. Nevertheless, he reaffirmed plans to include full network support. Scheduled for release in 2003, the game will allow players to download new vehicles and race against human opponents online. Moreover, he expressed interest in building a \'test drive\' mode that will allow players to experience a new vehicle online before buying it.

Maybe it will permanently shoot down that Project SUCKS Gotham.

Personally, I like the way Gotham plays - The close camera angels, its slow acceleration and exagerated reflection mapping.

Car models are slightly dodgy, and some major texture issues on Buildings.

I honestly hope Polyphony give more angels for GT4.
