After brief intro of next generation game consoles in previous post, i believe some of us might wonder when will Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft XBOX 360 or Nintendo Revolution release in market.
Microsoft has made an announcement at Tokyo Game Show that the next generation game console, Microsoft XBOX 360 will be released in North America on 22 November 2005, in Europe on 2 December 2005 and in Japan on 10 December 2005.
There are few reasons that Microsoft would want to have earlier release of XBOX 360 compare to PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Revolution. Obviously Microsoft targeted on holiday shopping rush during Thanksgiving day in the United States. Other than that, it is also around X’mas and New Year holiday that someone may buy XBOX 360 as a gift for other. As Sony PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Revolution are expected to be released on 2006, XBOX 360 will get the first-mover advantage over them.
As the XBOX 360 is to be released, more than 20 games will be on market as well. Here are some famous games’ title:
- Final Fantasy XI
- Resident Evil 5
- Need for Speed Most Wanted
- Ridge Racer 6
- Dynasty Warriors 5 Special
- Call of Duty 2
- more…
So, would you like to have one in future? Or you would want to wait for PlayStation 3 or Nintendo Revolution? Believe me, each of them also worth the price. Remember, you pay for what you get. The more you pay, the more you get.
Personally i think PlayStation 3 will be my choice again.
