Sony will release the PS3 when it is ready. I really don't understand how them becoming "cocky with the PSX" has anything to do with them purpously releasing the PS3 late. In fact, that whole statement by Cyrax makes my brain hurt

Not exacty a fact... it's somewhere on the level of saying "The sun will rise tomorrow morning"... Extremely likely, but not a fact.

I don't think anything refering to the future can be a fact

Stu is right. The PSX isn't even a mainstream product. It's for the elite/rich people who want forward technology paired with a console.

As for PS3... It might launch last. But X-Box2, and GCN 2 will be taking a heavier beating in long run since Sony is going to have the graphics advatage.

As for Nintendo... I HOPE they make a game only console. No HD... PLEASE...

I dont think PSX is really being offered as a game console, more of just a tivo type thing with ability to play games, as it seems the controller ports are hidden on the back. It just use's PS's name to sell.

you mean "no DVD, please"

Because an HD is like a built i Memory Card (kinda like when Nintendo had carts). I hope Nintendo has a WAY biger memory card than they have this gen, and if they stick to the same small size please have some type of HD.

?? Last time I checked, a Hard Drive was composed of platers with a read/write head. But if you mean that is has the same purpose as built in memory which is simply holding data, then my bad, you're right.

HD's would be fine, but the only thing I don't like about relying only on HD's is that most games would save at every chance they get. I like it when I'm using a mem. card and I mess up badly, I just pull it out, hit reset and do it again

And on the subject of Sony having the graphics advantage. If Sony does come last, I hope Sony fanboy's don't turn into the XBox fanboys of this gen. I hate it when all people ever talk about are graphics and not the gameplay. GotDamn casual gamers, I hate them as much as the Pupli

(Name that show!)

I don't hate casual gamers(most of my friends). I just detest it when they tell me how PS2's graphics are far better than GC's or how the xbox has sold more systems than any other console.

I wonder how much of a difference there will be in graphics between the next console gen. I don't think it will be more relevant than the current generations difference. Not that there's that much of a noticable difference now anyway.

3-4 years, or when developers stop making top notch games for PS2 and XBox. whichever comes first...smartass

I want Mario Kart

Does anyone have any idea what the "bit" of the next consoles will be?

Gamer · 06-10-2003, 06:43 PM

Anyone find any good "pics" of the new systems?

Seth · 06-10-2003, 07:32 PM

Nintendo better have a built in HD in the GC 2. I'd rather pay 40 bucks more for a HD than 35 bucks for a crappy memory card. Like, you can have a memory card slot too, but and HD is needed for online ****.

It......doesn't really matter anymore.

The next generation will be measured in the same way you measure how much power a computer has(much the same why this generation was meaured.) Processor speed, RAM, and graphics card.
