PS3 delayed in Europe until September 2007? - PSP-Forum.com

It looks like the PS3 European release might be delayed until September next year - that will not be good for Sony and is bound to mean more sales for the 360 and Wii.

Quote:

Sony's head of Worldwide Studios Phil Harrison recently told Official PlayStation Magazine that he wouldn't like to make any definitive statements about the March rollout for PS3.

Sony quickly followed that up with a statement re-confirming PS3 is on track for March 2007 across Europe. But speculation of a further delay just won't go away.

High placed sources within the industry have already been tipping April as a more realistic launch window the for console. But a source has told CVG that a PS3 delay as far back as September 2007 is now far more likely, pointing the finger of delay at - yes you guessed it - "component shortages". And let's face it, you don't launch a console in summer.

When contacted this morning a Sony UK spokesperson told CVG that "We're 100 percent on track for a March release"

Sony really are ruining this console for some people. They are trying to make it so perfect :evil:. Why is the release so far behind everyone else anyway?

Well, this is only a possibility. They are still claiming it is definitely on for a March release but then again, they would say that. I wouldn't be surprised either way. Remember, the PSP was released in Japan in December 2004, the USA in March 2005 and Europe in September 2005. There is no reason the PS3 won't follow suit (although I know it is already out in the US).
