Playstation 3 Launch Delayed In Europe by LoverBwoy(m): 5:02am On Sep 07, 2006 |
http://uk.playstation.com/pdcf/index.jhtml?locale=en_GB&jumpTo=ps2/news_record/storyid:107657_en_GB_NEWS, The launch of Sony's long-awaited PlayStation 3 games console in Europe has been delayed until March 2007. Ken Kutaragi, head of Sony's global computer entertainment division, said the machine would still be launched in November in the US and in Japan. Mr Kutaragi blamed the European delay on problems in mass producing elements of the high-definition Blu-ray disc drives in the machines. Sony said it still aimed to ship six million new PlayStations by March. But it halved its forecast for the end of 2006, saying just two million units would be shipped worldwide before the end of December. Production problems meant that fewer machines than anticipated would be available for the launch in Japan and the US, Mr Kutaragi said. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/5319190.stm Why can't they just make everything the same in all regions? ![]() |

Hmm. Do you think the Playstation 3 will fare better than the Xbox 360? |
