Video games ping.

I wonder how this will affect sales in Japan assuming that the Revolution will launch there before PS3 and at a much cheaper price and also assumingly catering to a non-traditonal gaming market like their phenomenal success with the DS over there.

I really doubt that last bit about Gates being happy about this. There's a reason why the 360 is being compared to the Dreamcast...

The Blu-ray format is looking like it's creating all the problems for the PS3. There were some leaks on how much parts for each PS3 unit costs, and Blu-ray was something like 40% of the entire cost of the unit, and caused the total cost to Sony for each unit to be around $900. Now the Blu-ray format is causing delays.

I wonder if Blu-ray is going to go the way of the Betamax?

The PS2 should continue to do well with the release of such titles as Final Fantasy 12 and Kingdom Hearts later this year.

What a surprise! Sony once again makes outlandish claims, and underdelivers!

Blu-Ray will be anvil around the PS3's neck. Prohibitively expensive and ultimately doomed since even Sony knows the future is digital distribution/streaming not stupid scratchable disc, however many gigs they pack. Xbox Live Arcade rocks.

By the way--if I sound like a fanboy--I just got a paid blogging gig at Xbox360fanboy.com. Nice way to fund my video game habit. Check it out for all things related to the 360.
