Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. to Launch Its Next Generation Computer Entertainment System, in Spring 2006
Monday May 16, 7:30 pm ET
Unrivaled Performance With the Introduction of Cell Processor and Many Advanced Technologies, and Backwards Compatible With PlayStation(R) and PlayStation(R)2

LOS ANGELES, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- At a press conference held in Los Angeles, California, today, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) revealed the outline of its PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) computer entertainment system, incorporating the world's most advanced Cell processor with super computer like power. Prototypes of PS3 will also be showcased at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the world's largest interactive entertainment exhibition held in Los Angeles, from May 18th to 20th.

PS3 combines state-of-the-art technologies featuring Cell, a processor jointly developed by IBM, Sony Group and Toshiba Corporation, graphics processor (RSX) co-developed by NVIDIA Corporation and SCEI, and XDR memory developed by Rambus Inc. It also adopts BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc ROM) with maximum storage capacity of 54 GB (dual layer), enabling delivery of entertainment content in full high-definition (HD) quality, under a secure environment made possible through the most advanced copyright protection technology. To match the accelerating convergence of digital consumer electronics and computer technology, PS3 supports high quality display in resolution of 1080p(*) as standard, which is far superior to 720p/1080i.

With an overwhelming computing power of 2 teraflops, entirely new graphical expressions that have never been seen before will become possible. In games, not only will movement of characters and objects be far more refined and realistic, but landscapes and virtual worlds can also be rendered in real- time, thereby elevating the freedom of graphics expression to levels not experienced in the past. Gamers will literally be able to dive into the realistic world seen in large screen movies and experience the excitement in real-time.

In 1994, SCEI launched the original PlayStation® (PS), followed by PlayStation®2 (PS2) in 2000 and PlayStation®Portable (PSP®) in 2004, every time introducing the latest advancement in technology and bringing innovation to interactive entertainment software creation. Over 13,000 titles have been developed by now, creating a software market that sells more than 250 million copies annually. PS3 offers backward compatibility enabling gamers to enjoy these enormous assets from PS and PS2 platforms.

PlayStation family of products are sold in more than 120 countries and regions around the world. With cumulative shipments reaching more than 102 million for PS and approximately 89 million for PS2, they are the undisputed leaders and have become the standard platform for home entertainment. After 12 years from the introduction of the original PS and 6 years from the launch of PS2, SCEI brings PS3, the newest platform with the most advanced next generation computer entertainment technology.

With the delivery of Cell based development tools that has already begun, development of game titles as well as tools and middleware are in progress. Through collaboration with world's leading tools and middleware companies, SCEI will offer full support to new content creation by providing developers with extensive tools and libraries that will bring out the power of the Cell processor and enable efficient software development.

Preparations are under way for launch of PS3 and new generation software in the spring of 2006.

(*) 1080p/720p/1080i: "p" stands for progressive scan method, "i" stands
for interlace method. 1080p is the highest resolution within the HD
standard.

"SCEI has continuously brought innovation to the world of computer entertainment, such as real-time 3D computer graphics on PlayStation and the world's first 128 bit processor Emotion Engine (EE) for PlayStation 2. Empowered by the Cell processor with super computer like performance, a new age of PLAYSTATION 3 is about to begin. Together with content creators from all over the world, SCEI will accelerate the arrival of a new era in computer entertainment."

Ken Kutaragi, President and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc..

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.

Kwa design kan de console tellen maar wat een futurische controller, het lijkt wel op een boomerang. De PS3 komt wel wat later uit maar op het eerste zicht lijkt hij wat krachtiger te zijn.

gamescreens zien er nice uit, console zelf en zeker de controller zien er imo maar vies uit (maar prolly veranderd da asge der echte fotos van ziet he )

heb ik er overgekeken?
Maar ik vind niets van de grafischekaart....

edit*
In welke mate is dat van die floatingpoint al "bevestigd" door de andere of kenners en wat voor juist effect heeft dat?

Killzone 2
Dat is gewoon ultra realistisch...

zou er een dvd recorder aanwezig zijn op de ps3???

waarom 3 ethernet poorten? werk dat dan als hub?

Console zelf is mooi imo, controller daarentegen.

xbox gaat zwaar tegen haar doos krijgen...

Ik denk dat het zo in elkaar zit:

De processor kracht van de xbox360 is 115gflops, en hun grafische rekenkracht is iets minder dan 900 gflops -> Als je dat optelt kom je tot 1tFlops. Alléja... ik ga ervan uit dat ze dat zo hebben gedaan, omdat 1tFlops beter klinkt dan 115gflops.

Bij Sony is het ongeveer het dubbele, en de totaal (CPU+GPU) is dan 2tFlops.

Ik denk dat het ongeveer zoiets is.

Ik vind het uiterlijk van de console toch ook niet echt geslaagd hoor. Het is nogal een retro-design en het ziet er fragiel uit Maar wat prestaties betreft is dit zeker een topper.

die terraflops zijn unreal. 2 x zo krachtig? my ass! Marketing noemt men dit. Cell is als dezelfde zever als die emotion engine vd ps2. Don't buy their crap.

cell heeft wel degelijk bijna het dubbele in floating point in theorie. real world is iets anders.
gpu's zouden niet zo veel in rekenkracht moeten schelen

kom plz niet zeveren heh, teraflops is toch wel een criteria dat veel gebruikt wordt als men de kracht van processors wilt vergelijken.

@MrPhunKee -> Ze hadden niet gelogen met de emotion engine, die was daadwerkelijk zeer knap voor die tijd. Sony had gewoon het fout gemaakt dat ze een veel te zwakke GPU hadden.

Trouwens, nu zijn die flops veel belangerijker, omdat men steeds meer en meer fysica in spellen integreert. Er zal nu een einde komen aan kledij, haar en gras dat enkel een paar textures zijn. Het wordt tijd dat ze real-time worden gesimuleerd. Daarin zal de PS3 dus beter zijn dan de xbox360.

Zie de killzone trailer als je wilt weten wat ik bedoel -> haar wordt daar zeer mooi gesimuleerd met wind, en de kledij van de tegenstanders is ook gesimuleerd. (Kan je zien op het moment dat die éne af wordt geknald en blijft hangen aan de brug.)

Oh, en ook nog vergeten: Alle brokstukken zijn ook fysisch gesimuleerd, meer dan ooit. En dan nog zulke dingen zoals modder (Zie mooie Motorsstorm trailer). En wie ziet er nu niet graag alles vernield in een spel?

ffs, zoek eens op google naar een verslag over de cell chip en kom dan nog eens terug


dank u !

dan kan wat MS zegt over de XBox 360 even goed marketing en hype zijn. :ironic:

Kijk gewoon naar Killzone 2

Iedereen die er iets van kent is het er over eens dat de PS3 de show gestolen heeft.

Lees vooral op eurogamer:

Looking at the content of the two conferences today in Los Angeles - and the MTV special last week, in the case of Xbox 360 - "outclassed" is a word that comes to mind a lot. The bar which was set by Microsoft last week has not only been met, it has been vaulted over. PlayStation 3 is more powerful, more fully featured, more innovative and better supported than Xbox 360. When the Sony conference kicked off, we expected to see something "a bit better" than Xbox, technologically. We didn't expect to have our most fundamental beliefs about what next-generation games will be capable of changed. That, however, is exactly what happened.

dus eigelijk gaan ze grafisch hetzelfde zijn, alleen ze de PS3 spectaculairdere dingen op het scherm kunnen toveren...

Zijn geen benchmarks, they can write what they want. En dan nog, moest de cell alleen 2 terraflops draaien, dat zou al impressionanter zijn. En dan 3.2 ghz genomen, net hetzelfde als 360 maar dan 3x 3.2 ghz. Gewoon om mensen die r niet veel vanaf weten, het minstens even krachtig laten uitschijnen op papier.

En wat eurogamer vind, wat boeit dat nou, andere sites vinden 360 beter. Tis net een oven die de croissaint (controller) kan opwarmen ofzo.

Killzone? Is dat die wannabe halo?

Dat motorgame zal r wel vet uit.

Heeft r iemand in-game beelden gezien?
