GristyMcFisty and Quakester2000 both used our news submit to tell us that an image of Sony's
next-generation PlayStation 3 console has been circulating on the Internet. The concept art
shows a sleek silver console with a slot-loading DVD drive. Unfortunately it's
unsure if the concept art resembles the real thing:
So, is this an early glimpse of the future of console
entertainment? We have our doubts, since although we've been unable to
confirm where the image originated, it doesn't appear to have been
officially released by Sony - unlike last month's PSP concept images,
which appeared in a presentation given by SCE boss Ken Kutaragi.
Indeed, a highly placed source within Sony told us
that he'd never seen the concept design shown in the image before.
Although he did concede that it "could be something Japan cooked up and
hasn't shown us", he was adamant that he thought it highly unlikely that
the image originated from within Sony.
So what we're left with, perhaps unsurprisingly, is a
very clever and well-implemented mock-up of the forthcoming console, which
probably bears no resemblance to the final product. It does look nice
though, doesn't it? |
I guess we'll have to wait and see what Sony's
PlayStation 3 will look like. The image above looks good to me although, for
some reason, it reminds me of a toaster
😉
