According to Financial Times, Sony is going to release 200000 units of the new PS3 before the end of the month of July. Sony is planning to release 4million game consoles before 2007.
Sony has shown the controller in the past conference and gamers around the world received one of the biggest surprises since the console was announced. Appearance, features and changes made on the controller caused a division between opinions about the PS3 controller.
Let me make a short review from my point of view…
The Good
Features, including X-Y-Z, pitch, roll, yaw and lateral motion detection, and Bluetooth for wireless play.
Classic game pad shape. Since PlayStation where launched in 1994 I believe that its controller where the most comfortable made at these time. That’s why Sony decided to use the same design for the Dual Shock controller and Dual Shock 2 on PS2. I guess if the formula worked on the past why not to try once again adding better features?
The Bad
This controller will not have vibration functionality, unlike the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii controllers. Sony claims this has to do with interference of the motion sensing, but I believe this can be fixed in a future having Microsoft and Nintendo offering the same on their console’s game pads.
The Ugly
Is the motion sensor a copy made from Nintendo’ Wii controller?
Sony Computer Entertainment has announced the release for its video game console Playstation 3 on November 11 on Japan and November 17 America’s release.
This Time Playstation 3 will come in two different versions which major feature is the inclusion of a hard drive within the console. North America’s price for the Playstation 3 will be $499 for the 20GBhard drive, and $ 599 for the 60GB Hard Drive version.
I’m not happy for the price that was announced by Sony, since it competitors XBOX 360 and Nintendo Wii both were offering lower prices for their consoles. However we still have some months to save some money and have the chance to play games such Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII.
The best selling video game console is now available at a price of $129.
“While we continue to innovate and design groundbreaking new products, we remain dedicated to our long-term vision for the PlayStation 2 platform.” Kaz Hirai, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, said in a statement.
Now what is really interesting is how PlayStation competitors will react, let’s wait to see what happens, at last we will all be the winners!!!

George Fornay, vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced the European price point for the upcoming Playstation 3 console on radio show France’s Europe 1.
Fornay said that the PlayStation 3 will sell for between €499 and €599. Fornay acknowledged that the price may seem steep, but he emphasized that that price should be seen as inexpensive when one considers that the console will also play Blu-ray movies.
Fornay also confirmed that Sony would be going for a simultaneous launch of the console in November of this year.
f the PlayStation 3 follows the Xbox 360, the console may arrive in North America for US $499 to $599. This would easily make the PS3 the most expensive console on the market, with Microsoft’s two next-gen systems coming in at $399 and $299. To round out the scene, recall that Nintendo is looking to launch the Revolution for less than $300.
Look out for the Sony PS3 in stores this November.
