    If they give MS an inch, they'll take a mile. I'd be ok with it though. It would make it easier to buy both.

      I don't know if it's worth it. Yes in 2007 they will have lots of units and people get frustrated by systems running out but it creates a stir, more interest and I don't know if they can go through 2 christmas' without competing against 360.

        We wouldn't have gotten it here in the states until 2007 anyway because of the initial Japan launch. Now it looks more like 2008 for the USA. LOL

        Just like GT4. Kept pushing it back, saying it will have online, then recanting online, and then 2 1/2 years later....blah.

          I doubt it, as this same analyst said in another one of his theory articles, "the 360 is going to sell like hotcakes."

          However, you never know with what Kutaragi has been saying about the "Xbox 1.5" competition being the PS2, not the PS3. If it does get delayed, I bet Bill Gates, J. Allard, Robbie Bach, Peter Moore, and Steve Ballmer will be smiling from ear to ear. Also, the PS3 might run into a price cut on the Xbox 360 by that time.

          I wouldn't mind it comming out in 2007, as that was when I was probably going to pick up a PS3.

            Agreed. Here's hoping both systems are great!

              I don't really care when PS3 is released, as long as it has better games and is an overall better console than the 360, and I am willing to bet it will be regardless.

              Thanks,

                  This thing is quite interesting honestly. I'm not too sure why they would be holding out for that long....unless they finally have a solid gameplan. One thing that I'm figuring is the fact that they might be upgrading some hardware within that system. Another thing could be their fixing up online things. They also can give their software supporters more time to perfect their games. It really does look like it's either way. I'm not sure how it'll turn out but it might turn out better for Sony than we're seeing. I sure wouldn't mind if Microsoft held out til next year to put in that High Definition as a standard. Can only cross my fingers of course. Quite interesting....

                    Wow.. idk if any of you read what I read, but that article could be easily summarized in a couple sentences:

                    1. At X360 launch, Xbox will drop to $99 so PS2 will do the same.

                    2. For some reason, Sony thinks the PS2 drop will be enough to distract people from the "expensive next generation console".

                    3. If that worked, then Sony could ride PS2 profits and hold out on PS3 until 2007

                    4. If not, they would continue as scheduled.

                    Why would people buy $99 PS2 over $99 Xbox much less the nextgen system? Thats a just foolish imo. The guy himself said he thinks X360 will do very well anyway so its just a theory that he threw out there and someone picked it up and tried to make news out of it. No way does this deserve a 3 page thread...

                      I don't think Sony would have any internal problems such as hardware malfunctions and supply shortages if they released the PS3 in 2007. Skipping two holiday seasons is tough, but it's not like everyone is going to have an Xbox 360 by then, because people are still buying PS2's and Xbox's right now.

                      By then, a lot of 360 games will be ported to the PS3 as well as their own exclusive titles, so I think it's better for Sony to just release in 2007 instead of rushing it.

                        Well for the economically challenged as well as people who just want something to play games on, people could just buy eaither console for 99 bucks instead of going all out for a next gen.

                        When it comes to choosing an Xbox over a PS2 and vice versa is personal pref.

                          the title of this thread is quite misleading.

                            I understand that Luda, the thing is that the article acts like that would actually be enough of a factor to effectively cause the 360 to tank at launch...

                              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                                Dude, what the heck are you being so cynical towards me for? I thought it was an interesting article, so I posted it on here... I mean, it is an open forum after all. And believe me, I'm not some gullible idiot who read every word of the article thinking it a piece of prophetic reality, I thought it was a nice read that others might want to see. Ease up on the haterade there player, I promise, the world isn't that bad...
