I'm sure most of you have read the news about the new PSX on SR. Well this is going to finish the 'cube off. Everyone will buy, argh bye bye gamecube :( Even I think it sounds good compared to the 'cube. Unlike X-Box and PS2. Boo Hoo Hoo *sobs* Discuss

Yep and while those who want one will go and waste £400 (ish) I will be buying a set of Xbox and GameCube games. Looking at the PS2 calendar for this year I find it hard to believe that it would shift any consoles at all. With the news that Rockstar look as though they are bringing a GTA game to the Xbox for winter this year I can only see the Devil May Cry series being the only reason to go out and buy a PS2. Even then I wouldn't buy a PS2 just to play through Devil May Cry 2!
They've realized the X-box is a superior machine and have tried to copy it.
As i said.. money grabbers.
Heh its just an updated console... relaunching it late in the day... aka the PS1.
PSX is gonna be priced at around £600 when it comes over here.
I doubt many people willbe bothering with it strangely enough.

Seeing as like 80% of gamers own a PS2 (a random figure i just made up) the PSX probably wont sell too well so an idea for Sony to take up would be to keep the PSX, improve the chip so it can run games at a higher quality and then release it as i dont know....maybe the PS3!!!
PSX. Personally I hope every PS2 owner buys one and loves it. That way when PS3 gets released soon after they'll be extremely miffed and hopefully stick with their shiny PSX. Death to the PS3!

errr...shades of 3DO here. Overspecced, overpriced, in market that is already saturated.
Who knows - may work out but...hmm I am always dubious about Uber consoles.
I reckon this is a filler/tester for the PS3 that will be almost exactly the same in architecture apart form the Cell platform that powers it. Credit to Sony for pushing the boundaries (can only be good for us consumers)
But £400 vs £80 for a GC? If all I want is a games machine then hell this is an easy choice. I have broadband, I have a PC, I have a dvd player, I have a vcr, I use WMA's and MP3's. A lot of investment and now I must chuck it away becuase a cool lil white box is coming out? It's a gadget - like the iPod. For rich - minimalists and feng shui nuts only.

I dont think it will sell many, they probably wont even make money. There is nothing attractive about it (apart from the looks). Who the heck wants a tv tuner?
