The reason it gets revealed to developers before anyone else is so they can start making games for it now, so that they are ready for when it is released. No point in releasing a console with no games now is there?
It will likely be immensely powerful and I am looking forward to it muchly much. It won't be very expensive either as if it was it would not sell very well. The Xbox was released at £300 and sold few at first. Price comes down to £160 and sales take off. Down to £130 and there are even more.
Wow, better start saving.
Everyone versus Sony. That would be good.
But then there was me thinking the change of chip supplier was just because ATI are the more advanced at the moment. Dam, should have read between the lines.
And Nintendo aren't crap at FPS. They have released one, which was absolutely incredible (Metroid Prime) and have two great looking ones in the pipeline (Geist and Metroid Prime 2).
