Sony delays PlayStation 3 launch

Sony will delay the launch of the PS3 until November
The release of the much awaited PlayStation 3 (PS3) games console has been postponed until November, Japanese electronics group Sony has announced.
Technical hitches related to the console's Blu-ray disc drive had forced the delay, Sony said.

Sony games chief Ken Kutaragi said they were still finalising agreements on disc copy protection technology.

Sony had been aiming for a spring launch for the successor to best-selling PlayStation 2.

No potential price was given for the console.

It will compete with Microsoft's Xbox 360, which went on sale late last year in the US, and Nintendo's Revolution, which is due later this year.

Worldwide release

So far Sony has dominated the market for home consoles, with its original PlayStation and PlayStation 2 having sold more than 200 million units.

It had originally planned to release its new machine in the spring. But instead it is now talking of a November release in Japan, the US and Europe simultaneously.

In the past, Sony has staggered the launch of new consoles, with Europe coming a belated third.


Sony head Ken Kutaragi revealed the news about the delay
"We are absolutely delighted that we will be able to bring PS3 to gamers in Europe and Australia before Christmas," said David Reeves, head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe.

By then the Xbox 360 will have been out for nearly a year, think they will win the console wars tbh.

Oh well just gives me more time to save up and buy one. It was pretty obvious they were going to delay it till then.

! DELAYED?!?! SAY IT AINT SO!?!?! (looks in vain for sarcasm smiley)


Most likely a marketing ploy, like xbox's "ooh look we only have 3 per shop" to get people going..


I prefer paying £200 ever couple of years for a console than £100 every time a new pc game is released
