The reports I,ve heard is that the Sony is vastly overpriced compared to it's rivals and suffers from a distinct lack of processing power.

And that the XBOX 360 was a huge flop in Japan when it launched....

And still is. They're stacked up in all the retailers here gathering dust, and have been from day one. I'll not buy one as they have region locking which I've yet to read a definitive explanation of.

This would be a shock as the Cell processor (To simplify think 6 old mac's with with a newer mac coridinating them) on paper looks an amazing piece of silicon - my bet is they don't have the software to program/compile/operate it correctly - yet!

That said with the delays they need to get it sorted.

FYI I don't play games on my PC but if they can get the Cell (IBM made this) and it's associated software to work I believe it will have a huge impact. Even if not in a Sony (That I refuse to purcase any product after the root kit CD fiasco)
