Sony Plans to Release New Game Console at U.S. Expo in 2005

July 12, 2004 03:45 EDT -- Sony Corp., the world's second-largest maker of consumer electronics, will unveil a new game console next year at an expo in the U.S., Ken Kutaragi, president of the company's games business, said at a news conference in Tokyo.

lol the title scared me-- it says Sony to release new console in 2005.

But yeah this is expected. What worries me is that it could mean PS3 will come out 6 months after xbox2. That's not a huge difference-- it just could be that PS3 will launch with 128 MB of memory.

If PS3 follows the PSP tradition, we could have the winter 2006 release(March) for Japan and simultaneous Spring 2006 launch for the rest of the territories.

That's far from the previously expected 1-2 year gap between PS3 and Xenon release.

I'm not sure that's feasable at a $299 price point though. After all, PS3 will be incorperating multiple Cell chipsets and a BRD... that stuff won't be cheap in early 2006. Fall 2006 seems like a better bet for the west for a PlayStation launch anyway.

You looked a bit PR when you included the ® like that.

I find it funny that banner ads promising "Win a Free PS3!" still use the fake rounded toaster/waffle iron design, even though we've had pictures of at least the work-in-progress PS3 case for quite a while now.
