PlayStation 3 coming soon...real soon....

Looks like the Sony hype machine is starting to prep the PlayStation 3's announcement with the new billboards that state "Welcome Chang3" with the 3 obviously in place of the E. There is even some word that Sont might attempt to get the Playstation out in time for the 2005 holiday season. This would be an attempt to squash Microsoft's chances of making a big splash with the Xbox 360. If that's the only next-generation console out, do you think consumers will make the jump or sit around and wait for Sony and Nintendo to catch up?
