the bad news that we knew was coming

so, surprise, surprise, it looks like we won't be seeing a ps3 in our living rooms until 2007. unless you live in japan of course. or the states. an analyst (i love that) claims that japan will see this thing in the summer, the us in november, and we (europe) will have to wait until march 2007.

i've got a bit of a suggestion for next generation console manufacturers (as i'm sure they all regularly visit my site): immediately fire everyone in your company who is involved in setting out the schedule and timetable for your new console's design, development and release. you won't miss them as there isn't a single one who has given an accurate forecast yet. you can then plough the money that you have saved from their salary, pensions, hr costs, etc into the development team, thus increasing the budget and, as a result, creating better consoles in a shorter period of time. i await your emails inviting me to your respective offices so that i may expound on this ingenious strategy further.

in the meantime, read about your slackness: http://www.reghardware.co.uk/...
