Sony: "The next generation doesn't start until we say it does."
when it came to the fourth part of Sony's digital future vision, PlayStation, the Sony keynote address disappointed. Stringer, a masterful presenter, ceded the floor to Kaz Hirai, the similarly smooth president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, who talked about...the PlayStation 2. Hirai said the console actually saw a 10 percent year-on-year increase in holiday sales, contradicting many analysts' predictions. He also elicited chuckles by pointing out that both the PS2 and the PSP outsold the hard-to-find Xbox 360 over the holidays. He also took a verbal swipe at Sony's next-gen rival, saying, "The next generation doesn't start until we say it does."

When the subject did turn to the PlayStation 3, Hirai offered no major new information. He did say that the console is a "key pillar of Sony growth in 2006"--reconfirming its release this year--and said Sony has shipped out 4,000 software development kits for the console worldwide. Otherwise, though, Hirai merely restated previously known information about the PS3. He said its CPU, the vaunted Cell processor, would use only seven of its eight cores, and, yes, the console would be backward-compatible with both PS2 and original PlayStation games.

---------

Ahh, arrogance.

C'mon, the console wars would be boring without the smack talk. You know you love it. Really.

OH SNAP HE DID NOT JUST GO THERE

He's right, anyway. Or at least, as right as anyone would be no matter what they said. Remember a time when a new console would come out of the woodwork every year?

Well, he's basically right. I mean Nintendo's has stuck with "we'll be ready when the PS3 is ready" or whatever it is they're saying, and Xbox 360 is basically a buncha ports as of right now. So...

I hate Sony's PR bull**** as much as the next guy (8th core left unused? wtf?), but I agree with Coconut that it's basically the truth. To most people (including myself) it's not next gen just yet!

It doesn't start until the PS3 is out. This is just a fact, if the awesome trailers are to be believed. The 360 stuff looks like crap compared to it, and the Revolution...yeah.

This is a weird generation.

If he honestly believed that, they'd delay the PS3, give it a tune up in the process, and turn the Xbox 360 into the next Dreamcast.

Sony crack me up. They have got way too cocky, but I guess selling around 200 million consoles will do that to you.

I think you're talking about last gen, and that was sometime in, like, October of 2000
