Maybe it could happen as a partnership between several 3rd parties. If a bunch of them teamed together then it becomes more likely they could pull it off.

They could probably pull it off, but I don't think it would make financial sense.

Ea did have a stake in the original 3DO company and they keep talking about a "one console" future so if anyone is going to do it, it's gonna be them.

Or one third party could buy all the others and then take it from there. Hey... waitaminutethatsoundsfamiliar....

A strange phenomenon I've observed among some [angry] Sony fans is that they honestly believe that everyone that doesn't own a PS3 is simply too poor to function in life. Thinking back, watching my little cousin play Spyro on his PSOne, who woulda guessed we were engineering a generation of Bartholomew J. Bubblegum-s?

That is, if you can call the PS3's core audience a "generation."

A more accurate description of the size of the PS3's core audience would be a "softball team".

Seriously, recent experiences with intense Sony fans have left me seeing them as sketchy political cartoon versions of Whig party candidates from the 1800's, playing coal-burning PS3's with descriptors like "The Gold Standard" written across their machines in such a way as to make the reader think the gold standard is a bad thing. Or something. And also, in my sick little dream, the PS3 has a steam whistle attached, for some reason.

"Bummyfunk and abrigation! Let the paupers have their Wii!"

I'd be a lot more likely to buy a PS3 if it had a steam whistle, that would be cool.

You know, it does produce a good amount of heat. I wonder what it would take to rig a little steam whistle.

Stop giving Sony Ideas.

If Sony puts a steam whistle on the PS3 Microsoft will have to respond, undoubtedly by attaching a full blown steam engine to the 360, which can be used to power more fans.

Steampunk? Awesome!

But then how can Nintendo innovate a steam whistle?

Steam Powered. Now you playing with Power.

A coal-powered PS3 would be bad for the environment, and Greenpeace might then have to reconsider their bashing of Nintendo.

ReverendNoahWhateley · « **Reply #2590 on:** April 16, 2008, 09:27:10 PM »

A black machine being fed black lumps of coal, belching out fire as you play? Bad for the environment, but GOOD for our collective male self-esteem.

No, Sony will find some way to include a low emissions ad campaign and con them into thinking it is safer for the environment.

Wow, Home got delayed again.

How much money is Sony investing in that useless thing anyway?

Wasn't it supposed to come out last holiday season?

Interview with Scott Steinberg.

Steinberg is a tool I wonder who listens to what that dope says.

Ceric · « **Reply #2596 on:** August 04, 2008, 08:54:59 PM »

Wow it used to be that I always saw this on up in the forum. Good to see it back, sorta...

Now for the most misinterpreted quote.

Quote

...but we'd never consider iterating off of existing competitive technology - because we think that's a fad and that's not the way we approach product development.

Simply because of the last statement it seems that "iterating off of existing competitive technology" is the fad...

At least Steinberg's being honest. Just like Nintendo isn't going for the technophile demographic, Sony isn't catering to your grandma either.

My mom's a senior and she can't even hook up a DVD player, let alone a Wii or PS3. It's not like Sony is losing customers by saying stuff like this, because for the PS3 those customers don't exist to begin with.

PlayStation3 knows how to do everything wrong the GameCube way:

Sony PS3 Platinum Range

YELLOW labeling.
