PS3 to be unveiled at next E3!!

Sony says its next-generation portable will be on display next May, with SDKs to come in Q2 or Q3 2005.
TOKYO--Just over a month after Nintendo announced it would unveils its next-generation console--codenamed "Revolution"--at E3 2005, Sony has revealed that it will also use the event to debut the successor to the PlayStation 2. Speaking to a group of developers and media this morning, Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi was quoted by Reuters as saying, "There has been some talk that development is not going well, but we expect to have a playable version at E3. We are pushing ahead with that schedule in mind."

Kutaragi did not give a specific release date or a name for the next-generation console, most commonly referred to as the PlayStation 3. However, he did hint that the project is running about one year behind the PSP. Sony\'s portable is slated to hit Japan by the end of 2004 and America and Europe by March 31, 2005, the end of the end of Sony\'s current fiscal year.

While surprising in its timing, Kutaragi\'s announcement jibes nicely with the preconceived order of the next-generation console race. Most analysts had predicted the PS3 to hit the markets in early 2006, several months after Sony stated it will begin mass production of the vaunted Cell processor it is developing with Toshiba and IBM. On the software side, Kutaragi said the first version of the PS3’s development kit will be distributed to developers during the first half of Sony\'s 2006 fiscal year (calendar Q2 and Q3 2005), followed by the second SDK in the second half (calendar Q4 2005 and Q1 2006).

Sony\'s announcement also means that Microsoft is now the only major console maker who has not committed to show its next-gen device, most often called the Xbox Next, at E3 2005. The announcement also likely rattled some nerves in Redmond, since Microsoft has publicly stated that the Xbox Next would beat the PlayStation 3 to market.

Prior to Sony\'s announcement, its shares closed today at 4,020 yen ($37.29), up 20 yen ($0.19).

It\'s only the modules that have been halved from 512Mbit to 256Mbit (i.e. from 64MB modules to 32MB). Why they\'ve chosen this direction is still not clear (some people are speculating on doubling of bandwidth from 25 to 50 GB/s, see beyond3d.com forums), there has been no mention of overall XDR RAM reduction since they haven\'t even told anyone how much they were going to put in it to begin with.

If you\'ve heard them actually say they were planning on having 512MB XDR RAM in it, Knotter8, then I\'d like a link to the source because that\'s the first time I\'ve heard of it.

wee are n0t as smart as u L-I-C, so bak off!

Seriously, even if the PS3 is due out in late 2006 or 2007 they\'ll show it any chance they get to steal MS or Nintendo\'s thunder.

It is not a matter of being smart, just use common sense. Take life cycle of typical console, figure out how long that console has been out. Then consider the amount of time needed to hype next console.. You do all this and common sense should allow you to figure out that E3 will be the year of new consoles.
