PlayStation®3 General Discussion

[cloudsheaven]

ok, there has been rumours mounting about an even tomorow, which was orignally just for developers. however the bbc ( so no rubbish website, a proper and well established broadcasting company) as posted this article, however the article is published in a speculative way, it states the following : "Speculation mounts over PS3 event Sony is expected to reveal more details about its eagerly awaited Playstation 3 console in Tokyo on Wednesday. Reporters and analysts have been invited to an event, which was originally only intended for PlayStation game developers. This has led to speculation that Sony may be gearing up to give more details about the launch of its new console. Last month Sony said it still aimed for a spring release, but warned it could be delayed due to technical reasons. Kutaragi address The Japanese electronics giant has said little about the PlayStation 3 (PS3) since it first unveiled the console last May But all eyes are now on the Tokyo meeting. Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutaragi is set to address it, leading to hopes that he may provide more information about the PS3. "These events typically address platform strategy, loyalty structures, development-related plans and other details that aren't as interesting to us, but the fact that they opened the meeting up raises the possibility that there might be more," Yuta Sakurai, a senior analyst with Nomura Securities, told the Reuters news agency. The (PS3) is one of three new gaming consoles promising cutting edge processing and graphical power. It will compete with Microsoft's Xbox 360, which went on sale late last year, and Nintendo's Revolution, which is due later this year. The date of the PS3's launch has been the subject of heavy speculation, with doubts over whether it would meet its original release date of spring. Last month Sony warned that the launch could be delayed if industry specifications for some of its technology are not finalised soon. Most analysts and publishers expect the PS3 to hit the shops in Japan and the US later this year, with a European launch in early 2007." and the link is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4805788.stm

It seems more and more likely that something will be said about the PS3 tomorrow. Considering that on the website www.computerandvideogames.com they call it a press conference, that does kinda give the game away that the press will be there anyway. This is popping up on other Playstation 3 forums on other gaming sites aswell. I have just left the same message on the gamespot forums. But as i understand it a press conference meant that the press was invited to a conference and where allowed to ask q's. I don't see Sony showing new video footage if they are making more and more noise about tomorrow and inviting reporters and analysts.

I donÂ’t know about that this event has now been hyped up so much that if they donÂ’t say anything of interest it could be the final nail in some of the Sony fans and they might just decide to get a 360. If on the other had this event was not hyped and it was just another event where no one expect to hear any new news then if Sony did not say anything then it probably would not affect Sony fans but now it been hyped Sony will surely say something. HereÂ’s hoping

the problem is everyone is desperate for a bit of info, who wouldnt, sony showcase the ps3 almost a year ago, game trailers- although fake, and we have alsmost nothing since, other than the mgs trailer.. so no wonder we look to each event with a hint of deperation that sony will tell us stuff, so we hype it up etc.

Great. Have you seen the replies u have on there as well cloud. This could be what we have all been waiting for but we won't know until tomorrow. But something big must be ust around the corner and consider that Ken Kutaragi is there tomorrow must mean they have a very important announcement to make.
