Heads-up, PS3 fans! According to sources, the PS3 "has officially entered production". It seems that the PS3 is currently in the works, and hopefully, it won't be too long for fans to get their hands on the much-awaited console.
Phil Harrison, Sony's president of worldwide studios says that production is in full swing, from a developer's point of view; developer kits have been shipped and the controller is also in developers' hands. Apparently, Sony's got everything set, minus some improvements and modifications. The games, too, are also being tested, as many studios already have Blu-ray burners in their PCs.
So, final version of PS3 hardware? Check. PS3 controller? Check. Games? Check. Release date? Errrrm... Soon? Hopefully, we'll know more when Ken Kutaragi gives his speech at the Tokyo Games show on September 22.

“I thoroughly enjoy retro-style games and with that, Magic Orbz modernises the classic brick breaking formula and it has held up beautifully.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
Here it is in all it's glory:

Funny how when you see the whole thing it puts it all into context isn't it.
.
Harrison says production is in full swing, from a developers point of view. A developer means software, not hardware.
And yes, there has been talk of Asustek starting up production in Taiwan, but that talk was squashed, not confirmed, by Asustek or Sony.
Its about time production went into full swing. This increases my chances of get the ps3 on launch. I'm having fun with my 360 but the ps3 is definitely something i want. Its going to rock.
I don't believe anything anymore from Sony after all their lies untill I see something in reality. Really they've pushed all their fans too much around
"But it has been all downhill from there. "People in gaming and game publishing are drastically less excited about PlayStation 3 than they were a year ago, and competition is looking much stronger," says David Cole, a market analyst and president of San Diego-based games specialist DFC Intelligence, quoted in The Wall Street Journal.
First to worst
Sony could even go from first to worst. In a research note published on its website, DFC commented: "While it has always been clear that Sony's dominant market share was destined to decline, there now appears to be the distinct possibility the PlayStation 3 could end up third in market share behind both the [Microsoft] Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii (tinyurl.com/rjvo8)."
Just how exactly could Sony finish 3rd, it's a long shot that they would finish second but 3rd, no way. What people are forgetting is that what is said ont his site is purley the opinions of people on this site and there ain't that many people on this site. Fact is if your not a fanboy u will not here all the up's and down's of both consoles, so where does it go from there. Well Sony was the choice last time and far as i'm concerned anyone who buys a console just for the sake of getting one will buy, Soony because it's the cool thing to have, i always heree people in the shops and people i know all have ps2's apart from the xbox fanboys and believe me any1 who has an xbox is a fanboy! So my money is on Sony!
