This is one of those things that makes me realy annoyed, because sony are already got plans for PS3. When millions of us out there have shelled out are life savings for this and they are already planning a new console do u no how it feels to have a new expensive console and say to your mates i have a PS2 and a year later they have a PS3 you then have the erge to buy one and nerglect your PS2. In my mind i think they should not make a new console but make upgrades for the PS2.

On the contrary, after the announcement, mags kept asking Sony what the console was to be called. They said that the console must have "Playstation" in the title, but they were still working on it, and had been for a few months!

From Sony's mouth... not mine!

Sonic, Sony never were going to call it the PS2, but because of that very same frnzy whipped up about the alleged PlayStation 2, Sony had little choice but to go with it.

What I find most amusing about Sony is this little tale:

A few months before the successor to the PSX was shown to the world, hype was everywhere. All over the place in mags, on web sites, and even on TV people were talking about the next PSX, or the "Playstation 2" as some people called it.

Sony were outraged by this! The fact that people were calling the next console the Playstation 2 when it wouldn't be called that would create hype amoungst people who may then look towards buying a Playstation 2- which wouldn;t exist!

So, Sont demanded that the press stop using the name Playstation 2, and call the console the Next-generation Playstation (NGPS)... saying only that the console will definately have the word "Playstation" in its name, and had been working for months to decide on a final name.












So, after all that trouble, what did the genii (or is it geniuses?) at Sony come up with?

Not only that, but they have copyrighted all the logos as Trademarks (just imagine a PS2 logo, but with a 3,4,5 and 6 in the place of the 2).

Sad... very sad
