Also, they won\'t be finished with the "guts" of the system until around the release of the PS3. Please don\'t believe things unless they\'re directly from Sony. They\'re working on Graphic WorkStations that will be made for movie productions. The first one is already out and is 10 times the power of the PS2. The second generation one, due out in 2002, will be equipped with the 2nd generation Emotion Engine 2 and Graphics Synthesizer 2, and will be approximately 100 times more powerful than the first Graphics WorkStation. Then, hopefully, buy 2006 (about the time the PS3 will be released), the 3rd generation Emotion Engine 3 and Graphics Synthesizer 3 will be released. Ken Kutaragi (The creator of PlayStation) promises 1000 times the power of PlayStation2. Your welcome for clearing things up. Please stop believing in all of these rumors. It just upsets people and raises blood pressure.
