just gota email from special reserve telling me about the x box 2 and the ps3 (and other stuff that isn't relevant). But it sounds amazing. It says its set to be out in march which as it says it is only 4 months away. It sound wicked but what will the PS3 be like. Will the x box 2 and the PS3 be the most popular game consoles for next year. probably, may be the xbox 2 may even beat the PS3 sales. The chances are it will cost a fortune though.

No. It might be revealed to developers in March. It won't be on sale until around Christmas 2005. Or later.

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.

It'll be a console made alongside Nintendo. This'll all be revealed at E3. They have been collaborating together for a while now, and things became a lot clearer when Microsoft suddenly jumped graphics chip to the same one as Nintendo's.

Now if only Sega joined in, and Atari and...

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.

I wouldn't like to see Microsoft and Nintendo team up. More so Nintendo and Sony - as the PSOne truly was an excellent console.

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).
