Kunitake Ando, the president and CEO of Sony, has said that Xbox could compel the company to launch PlayStation 3 earlier than intended. "The biggest threat to the PlayStation 2 is that the Xbox changes the industry's life cycle," said Ando. He added that the life cycle of PS2 could be as little as three years.
However, a recent report forecasts that a staggering 34 million PS2s will have been sold in North America by 2004, while Xbox will have shifted 20 million units and Gamecube 18 million.
Development of PlayStation 3 has already begun and Sony have partnered with Toshiba and IBM to develop the technology for the next next-gen console. Production of the PS3 chip is scheduled to begin in 2004. It is reported have a greater focus on delivering communication and broadband services.
It could be the greatest ever console ever!
It is sopposed to clip on the back of the Playstation 2.

Hmm... like the PS2, eh? Millions and millions of sales worldwide not good enough for you then?
Gamezfreak, I don't consider you a fanboy like Techno freak or Dave RJR but sometimes you just spout utter crap. Just wait - give the X-Box 2 years on the market and it won't have sold as much as the PS2 did in 2 years. It won't have been as successful.

No, that won't be right. That is just people making up averages for the fun of it, and you'll see soon enough that those figures will be incorrect and you'll end up having to eat your own (or someone else's rather) words.
These estimations are made by people that take the average console sales in a few months and just average them out for the next few months building up a total. It doesn't actually mean anything that you've said will happen.
What if PS2 becomes really unpopular or X-Box is taken off the market? Anything can happen after all.
Don't go making false statements that can't possibly be deemed as true until the year 2004.

The new power is down to a break through in technology.
Apparently, by mixing semi conductors, IBM have managed to make a new chip that runs at 110 Ghz. And that was just a prototype.
This new develloped PS3 chip will be even more powerful.
