I ran that text through a translator; this is what it says:

With l.occasion of the output of Xbox in the USA, Kutinake Ando, president de Sony, s.est expressed in Financial Times. D.après him, l.arrivée of Xbox could force Sony to market PlayStation 3 earlier than envisaged. It declared: " the largest threat for PlayStation 2 is that Xbox changes the cycle of life of l.industrie ". Indeed, Ando would fear that the economic model of the PS2 is not necessarily viable, and that the cycle of life of the console is tiny room to 3 years! Although the sales of PlayStation 2 are massive, Sony would always seek to make profitable the great development costs of the famous chip Emotion Engine. D.où l.intérêt to leave PlayStation 3 more quickly to slow down Xbox. The process of research and development of the PS3 would be in all cases already on the way, with Toshiba and IBM like partner and 400 million $ d.investissement. The production of the chip could start into 2004. This new processor will be more specialized in the service high-flows and communication functions.
With such declarations as fraught with direction, it is clear as for Sony, Microsoft replaced Nintendo like new large candidate. " Nintendo GameCube was a disappointment in Japan, they n.ont sold that the third of this qu.ils hoped " has T-it says. Other interesting information: Sony does not think of entering the world of the portable console dominated by Nintendo, but wants to concentrate on the market of the consoles of show.
Then, would Sony be afraid of Microsoft? Possible C.est. However, all projections of the market d.ici two years, see PlayStation 2 as leader of the market of the consoles. Rather careful, Sony, then.
