The Real Deal on the Playstation 2
Wow! You read a lot of hype in most magazines about Sony's newest videogame
console. Most journalists are so far removed from the heart of the industry
that they inevitably buy into the hype.
Remember Rocket Science? Probably not. If you do, then you'd remember they
were a dismal failure that was featured on the cover of Wired!
Finally, an article
in Salon that tells it like it is. This is so dead on, that it's scary. This
is what everyone in the industry knows, but is afraid to say. Everyone is holding
their breath and waiting for the dust to settle.
I wouldn't discount the DVD ability of the Playstation 2 though, since I believe
Sony is trying to broaden the target of the console beyond hardcore gamers.
Also, it's a Sony, so people are waiting for an excuse to embrace the machine.
Watch out when that Must-Have Game gets released. I know there's a high probability
I'll buy a machine once Metal Gear Solid 2 comes out.
