E3 draws larger crowds

Gamers love this time of the year. With the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) just around the corner next week in Los Angeles, crowds are flocking to witness the unveiling of ground breaking hardware and software.

The gaming industry is at its pinnacle in terms of heated competition between giants Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, with the latter two calculating to launch their console platforms.


TMCNet reports that the transition period may be slightly more difficult this time around, with companies focusing on producing more console units to avoid shortage during pre-orders and launch sales. At the time when Xbox 360 launch, a shortage of console units resulted in suppliers shipping consoles in March to consumers that pre-ordered it last summer.

It seems now that the cost of producing consoles has escalated dramatically, with Sony battling out the war to popularise its Blu-Ray format. And the winner is......wait till next week!

According to TG Daily, PS3 will make its word premiere next week at the E3. The article has an interesting discussion about whether Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Will will be able to sustain PS3's launch.

thank you kindly for the update.
you seem to be in the know, so i have two questions for ya. firstly, how much is the ps3 going to cost when it is released upon australian shores? secondly, i have heard lots of talk about how the new nintendo console is after a brand new, older market. what does that translate to in regards to games do you know?
cheers for your time.
