>While Mr. Kutaragi eschewed the term "network computer" in his remarks,
>the new PlayStation will perform many NC-like functions, including
>downloading movies and games from the Internet. The company is predicting
>it will ship one million units of the PSX2 in the first two days after its
>release.

>SCEI also introduced the DTL-T10000, a PlayStation2 development
>workstation. Manufacturers have traditionally supplied developers with
>software and a PCI card for a PC or workstation; instead, SCEI is
>supplying game makers with Linux-based workstations that incorporate the
>same Emotion Engine subsystem as the PSX2. The rationale is simple: The
>performance of the PSX2 has already exceeded conventional PCs, which don't
>have enough muscle to create applications for the PSX2 environment.
