"Is the PS2 worth it because of PS3 on its way?"

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.

what magazines have you been reading?
one year?

The PS3 isn't gonna come out for ages.. Ninty made plans for the Gamecube 4 years ago... so just get a PS2 and then if your really desperate save to get the PS3... simple..


=B0p

by the time it comes out iwill be working! NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO

Er, PS3?

Dont any of you no of the ps3 well do you actually read magasins? And the guy who said that they will be stop making games for ps1 in a year is bull because they have just released a small screen so you can play it in your car so it aint goin to stop especially as they sold over 2 milion in Japan you twit.

thay might as well have stopped making ps1 games.
there are only crap mario-cart clones are some 'quick, finish it we might just get some money' kind of games.

People are taking this way out of proportion!

The fact is that Sony announced, a month before the Japanese PS2 launch, that their technical department had started work on the PS3. They even had some rough specs at the ready... The console's processor will have 1000 times more switches on.

But this is not unexpected. The fact is that every company does it: Sega announced they were working on a new console just 1 month after the Japanese DC launch (although these plans have most likely been canned).

The reason Sony have done this is two fold:

1) After making the console, the technical staff at Sony have nothing to do! Literally! So either you make them redundant, thus leaving no people to work on the next console, or get them to start looking towards the future- even if that may be five years down the road.

2) It keeps investors happy! They all think that Sony is a really forward looking company, and that they will continue their domination of the market for many more years.


One final point is that Sony have copyrighted the name "PS3"... which makes you wonder!

That's probably a security measure.

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
