"Software developers looking to write games for Sony's next-generation
PlayStation console will do their work on a proprietary, Linux-based
workstation built by Sony, the company said Friday.
"Sony will begin shipping the development
workstation in September..."
"The machine, to be priced under US$20,000, will be based on the same
chipset as the PlayStation II, including the 128-bit "Emotion Engine" and
graphic chips.
"Developers normally code software for the videogame
consoles on a high-powered PC or Silicon Graphics workstation."
