IBM have put work into the GC as well apparently.

I have the PS2, yeah it is good but until the GameCube and XBox have been out for a while, we won't know which one is the best. Personally I think the GameCube will come out on top because it is cheaper than XBox and will have way better games than it and it is more powerful than PS2.

PS3= well duh of course there will

I think that no matter what sony's gaming is allways gonna come on top. The playstation 2 is so successful because of the games, plus the consoles look cool. The games on ps2 really take advantage of the hardware, and the gameplay is legendry on most games. It may not be the most powerful console but that isn't always the way.

The two main reasons are thus

1) Sony / Nintendo / MS need to make money to sustain the enormous marketing campaigns they have... therefore, a new console every 5 years should do the trick
2) Consoles are not PCs, they are pretty hard wired. Sure, you can add peripherals, but eventually, technology will advance. Take a look at cars, how much would it cost manufacturers to install Air Bags on all oldeer models of cars?

Hmmm. I notice you are a staff member, might I remind you that people who spend money on these things pay your wage!

Anyway, I suspect that you are a undercover agent who is just trying to liven the forum up a bit!!!

The Official Word from SCEJ is...

2004 - Japan
2006 - Europe

But the real question is WHY!? why do we need yet ANOTHER console!!!

Why cant they just make an upgrade to one of the older modules!?

WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I see no point in going "ooooh look i will look sooooo cool having a PS3 the day it comes out because i will be so special", i point at these people and say haha! i have £300 and i intend to spend it on alcahol! you have your games machine!

i can also confirm its comming out, but will it play ps1 and ps2 games.

Sweet where did you read this the internet?

I believe that Sony, Toshiba and IBM are currently working on the PS3.
