So funny!



E3 2005:
Sony: " ...and the PS3 will have dual HDMI outputting two 1080p screens at once, and three gigabit Ethernet ports, and support for seven controllers, and it' ll launch in Spring 2006..."
Gaming press: " WOW!!!! The PS3 will have all these features!"
VoR: " No it won' t, you morons, Sony is lying."

E3 2006:
Sony: " Uh, well, actually, the PS3 will just have the one HDMI port (and won' t even come with a cable), and one Ethernet port, and four controllers max, and it won' t launch until this holiday..."
Gaming press: " Omigosh, Sony lied about all that stuff!"
VoR: " See, I told you so."
Sony: " ...and we' ll have two million units at launch."
Gaming press: " WOW!!!! They' ll have two million units at launch!"
VoR: (bangs head against wall)

It' s this sort of crap that I wish Microsoft would respond more aggressively to. These weren' t merely a matter of missed goals and screwups, these were barefaced lies, and I really, really would' ve liked to see Microsoft body-slam them into the dirt for it.


It' s nice being reminded why i lost respect for sony, not that i wont consider getting a PS3, just a reminder to take everything with a grain of salt

Still, don' t forget that MS bullshitted also, and even Nintendo a little. But, yeah, Sony left the biggest pile of Bullocks, like...Evar!

Although in Nintendo' s case, " innovative" is more a case of opinion. For the other two we' re talking about facts.

I don' t understand why anyone would give 2 shits about having 2 HDMI ports.

OMG XBOX360 ONLY HAS ONE COMPONENT OUT PORT, OMFG WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

Seriously, stfu.

The same with the 2 ethernet ports, i mean, why on earth do you want that shit when the 80 gb has also wi-fi, besides, the PS3 is the ONLY console with HDMI in all their SKU´s, so if the constrain token gets implemented down the road then not a single PS3 owner would get screwed.

I' m wondering why Sony even touted 2 HDMI ports and 2 ethernet ports in the first place. Who would want or need that, especially on a game machine which will be obsolete when the PS4 comes out. I can' t wait until then. PS4 will rule u.

I belive the original plan (it was still very hazy in the first place) was for your PS3 to act like a media hub or router between your PC, TV, PSP and PS3.

While yeah, we all kind of figured that the Dual HDMI 1080p, 120fps rubbish was well... rubbish. However, you have to look at the sources for all of these comments. Nine times out of ten, they came from Ken Kutaragi.

By the time the PS3 was hitting shelves, even Sony was getting irritated with Kenny, which is why he' s now twiddling his thumbs happily in a broom closet somewhere at Sony HQ, drafting PS7 motherboards onto the floor in red crayon.
