Also, Nintendo is very upfront with delay info, whereas sony and MS will lie about delays until the last possible second, basically not telling you about a delay until the day it was supposed to come out.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437884693075371425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136570205392410112006-01-06T18:56:00.000+01:002006-01-06T18:56:00.000+01:00Eh, this delay is only speculation at this point. ...Eh, this delay is only speculation at this point. Either way this would only affect the Japanese release and not the US /Europe launch dates. <BR/><BR/>Why is it when Sony may have a delay everyone begins to ridicule them but if Nintendo delays a product (Nintendo Ultra 64 due out in 95, GameCube due in 2000, Zelda: Twilight Princess due in 2005, Mario 128???) the same people will say that it is because Nintendo cares about the quality of the hardware/software. <BR/><BR/>This post is not aimed at this blog but at the gaming media in general.<BR/><BR/>On a personal note I do hope Nintendo comes out on top this time around. The 3D controller seems very interesting and unique.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136554787620258962006-01-06T14:39:00.000+01:002006-01-06T14:39:00.000+01:00I just did some quick research on the number of de...I just did some quick research on the number of dev kits shipped. According to <A HREF="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/lair/news.html?sid=6129611" REL="nofollow">Gamespot</A>, only 450 PS3 dev kits had been shipped by July 2005 and they did not satisfy demand. <A HREF="http://www.joystiq.com/2005/03/09/j-allard-keynote-reveals-more-details-on-the-next-xbox/" REL="nofollow">Joystiq</A> quoted J. Allard in March, saying that they had already shipped 3.000 Xbox360 dev kits. It doesn´t seem too unrealistic figure, then, after all.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136553881971505162006-01-06T14:24:00.000+01:002006-01-06T14:24:00.000+01:00You are right, 4.000 sounds like a lot.

Also, take into account that for a big project like <I>´Lair´</I> a developer like <I>´Factor5´</I> would need multiple dev kits.Falafelkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918781791399825395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136553431701005652006-01-06T14:17:00.000+01:002006-01-06T14:17:00.000+01:004,000 dev kits?Does that mean there are 4,000 or s...4,000 dev kits?<BR/><BR/>Does that mean there are 4,000 or so developers...:shocking:<BR/><BR/>surely that figure has been over-estimated?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13336739.post-1136548083511720912006-01-06T12:48:00.000+01:002006-01-06T12:48:00.000+01:00Hi Runnin_Blue.
