Even more pointless than replying to a blog is doing so in your own, but what the heck, I just don't feel like sharing today: No. 12 says Microsoft brought a final design, playable demos, and a retail price, I'm guessing, to last year's CES and squeaked in a holiday launch, but as memory serves, they had only the first by E3 four months later (and that's only if he means the uninspired shell, since we all assumed back then the HDD would be bigger than half the size of its last-generation competition's, much less a standard feature). PS3, I yawn at thee. Still, the Expo this May might be the first in years to pique my interest in the whole industry, what with Nintendo's "Revolution"… only other time for me was seeing Super Mario 64.
