Samwise your right, who in the right mind would release a console so soon? But remember, MS x-Box is predicted to be that big to scare investors into believing that Sony\'s offerings will turn into worthless stock. Even the PC industry is shaken by the support and specs of a console.
Could Sony perhaps drive the media and gaming attention once again back to its PS2 before its too late? Yes and No. It is highly likely that Sony can turn around and develop some quality games that its lacking right now, and gain some of the crowd. Yet again, PS2 will be suprased by x-Box by newer technology. But yet again, who is going to buy this thing anyway? Same goes to PS2, not everyone has 300 USD to shell out for a Playstation 2.
It all boils down to money. That\'s what these companies are in it for. I am positive Sega was in it for the money AND fun. I gotta give them credit for not ending so soon when their highly anticipated Sega Saturn fell so soon. We will see what Sony manages to do.
