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.

Microsoft's pre-e3 conference was a bit mince.
I don't care about the pre-e3 conference all that much, the show proper has started and the Xbox has shown Halo 2 and Doom 3.
That's enough to make it have a better show than the PS2 already.
MGS:Substance is on the Xbox, no doubt 3 will be eventually too. PES is coming to the Xbox this year and San Andreas will be on the Xbox not long after the PS2 as well.
Sony have no good exclusves left, the only good exclusive PS2 game sI've seen yet are GT4 and probably AC5 when they finally show it.

The lowest point was showing the Crash demo again, but revamped. Allard suggested it didn't look that much at first, but the other car was "made from scratch". Yes, by using the exact same model and changing the shell colour. Excellent. And of course the wonderful info afterwards about how the guy who did the demo received so many phone calls - I mean, so what???
Also worthy of mention was Bach's artificially prolonged handshake with the EA CEO, in an effort to emphasise their new "friendship" in online play.

Aha.
Have you even seen it?
Foo'
The DS and the PSP are thins to be excited about - marking a massive step forward in hand-held gaming. Nothing is ripped off, nothing is poxy - these are amazing machines.
And whole other animals to the GBA.
The GB'll look like a tamagotchi when these two biznitches come out.

Are you sure you're not getting confused with the N-Gage? Also, how is a Gameboy irritating?

I don't see why this 'PSP' is such a big deal. Its going to be a small poxy little Gameboy rip-off.
It will have a small useless screen that you can hardly see anything of. To many buttons for a handheld device. Also it will be as irritating as a gameboy too.
Generally i think it is a useless idea for Sony and they should stick to making the PS series as great as i can possibly be.

Mmmm ... Ace Combat.
Can't beat it.
You can hardly say MS put on a stonking E3 show, because they didn't. The PSP knocked Sony up a bit.
But Ninty shat over both of them. Through a fan.

Live is over rated. Easily. Easily.
I played on RS3 online earlier, then Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes.
TS is much more fun. But Live is terrific. But over rated.

Personally im just waiting patiently for Pro Evo 4, Driver 3, GTA San Andreas and the new MGS games.
As long as all these live up to expectation that will do me for the year. There has been some good games on showcase from what i have seen so far, so i think the PS2 is still some way from dieing out. PS2 is going well, Sony can leave it to carry on as it is, and concentrate on showing off the PSP.

An announcement about AC5 being online would make a difference to Sony's e3.
Still not particularly a Sony announcement, but it will make things a bit better for them.
