"
At a press conference held in Tokyo, Sony Computer Entertainment announced
plans to officially unveil the next generation PlayStation console before
the end of the current fiscal year and show it in playable form early next
year.
Company president Ken Kutaragi outlined a schedule for the system in a
speech given during the conference. SCE would like to unveil the system,
referred to in slides as "Next System," at a premier party to take place
some time in fiscal year 2004 (prior to April 2005). This will be followed
by showings at next year's E3 and Tokyo Game Show events where Kutaragi
hopes to have many titles playable.
Details on actual development for the system were also unveiled. Kutaragi
stated that he'd like to have "Version 1" of development materials out in
the early part of fiscal 2005, with "Version 2" to follow in the latter
half."

So it seems Sony will have the first wave of Playstation3 development kits
out after April 2005, then the second wave of more mature kits out before
April 2006. if I read that correctly...
and that's if things even go according to their plans. big IF.
