Sony PlayStation 3
The Playstation have marked their impact from the last Christmas season. So far around 8.5 million of the consoles have been sold in Europe.Sony has directly produced 1,100 games which is approximately 20 percent of the whole for the PS3. IBM and Toshiba worked together to developed the heart of the PS3 which is a multi-core cell processor making it faster than the modern PC's.
Because of the interfaces for digital cameras and MP3 players, the PS3 console can be used for showing pictures or playing music and is more about watching movies than playing games.
Sony might be releasing a motion-sensitive controller early next year consisting of a stick with a red, lighted point and multiple buttons that allows players to guide play with their movements.

The good:
Swanky design with quiet operation
All games in high-definition
PSP-like user-friendly interface
Plays high-def Blue-ray movies in addition to upscaling standard DVDs
Built-in Wi-Fi and flash media reader
60GB hard drive
Online play is free
HDMI output with 1080p support
No external power supply
Free online gaming service
Plays PS2 and PS1 games
Backwards compatibility is hardware based
The bad:
Compelling exclusive games are still few and far between
PlayStation Home and rumble controller not available until 2008
A USB port on the back would've been nice
No infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible
Glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet
Online gaming, media, and commerce options not nearly as developed as Xbox Live
The bottom line:
The high-end Sony PlayStation 3's larger hard drive and ability to play PS2 games makes it a worthwhile alternative to the cheaper model--so long as you're willing to wait several months for the more promising exclusive titles to hit store shelves. If backward compatibility is your top priority, this hard-to-find model may be worth the search.
