Will PlayStation 3 be the new Betamax?

Hehe if Rockstar come knocking you'll be the first to know (erm after my mate that is)!

i'd want some sort of passport system so that the WoW situation of having a group of patheitic brats who talk in text speak and hang around the respawn spots wouldn't be able to play some sort of dna age verififcation process...

Sony sidelines PS3 mastermind Kutaragi

Some changes in the Sony camp:

Ken Kutaragi, the maverick Sony engineer behind all three generations of PlayStation games consoles, will on Friday become chairman and chief executive of Sony Computer Entertainment in a management reshuffle that underscores Sony's difficulties in the video games market.

The surprise move, though technically a promotion, removes Mr Kutaragi from the day-to-day running of Sony’s games division at a critical moment.

With the PlayStation3 only just past its difficult launches in Japan and the US, Sony is desperate to ensure that its complicated machine triumphs in the holiday shopping season. The company described the changes as “strengthening” its management line-up.

In the longer-term, the PS3 faces stiff competition from Microsoft and Nintendo and a European launch next March for which some analysts fear it is not fully prepared.

maybe it'll finally put an end to the japan centric culture of sony though and they might actually ship enough units for launch as well as make them in europe rather than japan as they did with the inital ps2 batches which is why they had so many faults due to being damaged in transit.

This might be a good thing, though ultimately it may well be the last sony console
