"What are Sony doing?"

Well, E3 is here, and eh, does it look like the PS2 is finally dead?

There are no major PS2 announcements from Sony.

No top quality Sony games, no nothing about the PS2.

No online wants, no single player wants, just nothing.

A not very interesting announcement about Cell workstations by the end of the year, and a hand held device.

So, the PS2 finally dying?

We've got Metal Gear Solid 3, and Gran Turismo 4 to look farward to as exclusives, woohoo :D

My Xbox might be my favourite console in the coming months, Doom 3 Live, Halo 2 Live, The Red Star, PES Live, and the full EA lineup Live, yes I want NHL on my Xbox.

Microsoft are now THE major player in the games console industry, and Live has swung it for them.

You're making this place as bad as the Nintendo forum.

If you read it in the official magazine then it must be true. Sony were going to sue Rockstar if the game was being sold before the new year, maybe that was part of the San Andreas deal.

Either way there is no need to tell me to shut up and act like a rude little prat.

Grow up.

You can't tell for sure because you haven't played any of them.

Oh, and as good as Killzone looks - it will not be better than Halo 2.

Doom 3 and HL 2 are coming on pc, and HL2 will be on ps3 and gc2. And Kill zone Kicks Halo's Ars.

Everyone should get an Xbox this year.

That's completely wrong, I don't know where did you read this crap from,butI can tell you that Sony let VC be released on Xbox by their own will , and not because of a time limit, and that was for exchange for a San Andreas exclusivity deal, and I read that in the official playstation 2 magazine, so shut up.

I think the end of the year will see the start of the end for the ps2, after these big games come out i cant see where they go after that other than ps3 which is supposedly not going to be so outclassed in power this time.
The next generation i expect will really bring online to the masses, which is when it will take off, with broadband getting cheaper and easier to get hold of.

The exact version of PES for the Xbox has not yet been confirmed. All konami have said is that the PES series is coming to Xbox.

The GTA exclusivity deal between Rockstar and Sony was time limited. You can say what you like time and time again, but the GTA box set for the Xbox was released on the 1st of January this year, because th Sony xclusivity deal only ran until the end of 2003, nothing ot do with a done deal for San Andreas.

You can't tell for sure that mgs3 will be on Xbox, there was time to make substance so it was released for Xbox and ps2 alltogether, you see, this is what happened with mgs1, integral is the one that arrived on pc, not the original mgs1, while substance arrived on pc and Xbox, not the original sons of liberty, and there isn't going to be an additional game for mgs3, because they have already prepared for designing mgs4 for ps4, they are just waiting to release mgs3 and then receive the ps3 dev kit from Sony. And this thing with GTA, I've said it a million times before: Vice City arrived on Xbox according to a deal between sony and rockstar, this deal was supposed to end the eclusivity of vice city in exchange of making San Andreas ps2 exclusive. and pes3 is coming to Xbox, not 4, or at least Xbox owners will be playing pes3 while ps2 owners will be playing pes4 with the online options.

Don't have an Xbox so don't care. There's a ton of great games coming out on the PS2, which i'll be playing so at the moment for the games coming out in the next few months i'll be kept very occupied. Not too bothered if a game is exclusive or not, there's hardly any difference anyway apart from nicer graphics and most Xbox games i'll be able to play now on my brand new PC so i'll stick to the PS2 and the likes of Star Ocean 3, Phantom Brave, Killzone and Gran Turismo 4 thanks
