*Update* PS3 delayed yet again in Europe? |
Ó
We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we have to share this with you. This day was turning out to be sunshiny and nice. We were even eating pop tarts and playing Resistance: Fall of Man. We check the web every now and then to give you the latest update. It really was an A-Ok day until we came across this interview.Sony CEO Howard Stringer recently had a word with online media company CNet Networks. We're pretty sure you know how these interviews go: numbers and figures, titles' release dates, and a little competition bashing here and there. So we were reading it, getting the highlights, and then one statement stunned us. We quote Stringer:
I think PlayStation 3 is well on the way to living up to that promise. That's a good sign. I think it's 6 million units by the end of the quarter worldwide. And then we have got the European launch in April, which is very important to us. I think we have 20 games out there. I assume we're going to increase the number of games.
Yeah, you read correctly. The Chief Executive Officer of Sony just said that the European launch will be in April. Now we wonder if this is a slip up. Could it be a minor blunder on Stringer's part and what he actually meant was March? Could it be a typo error? Well, the last time we looked, March and April are still spelled differently.
Don't worry. We will try to look around, even contact Sony for that matter, and try to clear the fog on this one. In case you're still interested about the interview, our Read link below will take you directly to that page.
Update: Mr. Stringer better watch what he says especially when it's about the PS3 launch in Europe. In this GamesIndustry.biz post, some Sony rep tried clearing up rumors about yet another delayed PS3 launch. Sony's spokesperson's said that the console will be launched in March - not April - and that suggestions (interpretations?) regarding Mr. Stringer's statement are incorrect.
Now that this one's all cleared up, let's head on to another rumor: March 23, 2007 may be the actual launch date for Europe. Sony hasn't confirmed this one, but folks should expect SCEE to make an announcement sometime next week.

It's not like supply is going to be an issue, why wait till April? Maybe they are waiting for Motorstorm or other titles to come out first, else it's going to be a pretty bad launch.
*****in bastard aprilllll
FOR ***** SAKE THSI BETTER BE A MSITAKE THEY KEEP DOING THIS NO ONE IS GOING TO BUY ONE IF OU KEEP DELAYING IT, I REALLY WANT ONE BUT IF THEY ARE GONNA DELAY IT IM JSUT NOT GOING TO GET ONE I REALLY HOPE THIS IS A MISTAKE

definetly kill him the f****r im not waiting till aprill i was already mad with march decision if this is true goodbye sony hello microsoft hopefully this wont be will it howie * howard strapped to the chair nods yes * *ive kidnapped howard stringer* ok sa fe
Heah! My friends Stringer denied the report that told us "European launch in April" with GamesIndustry.biz. The correct thing that still in this March. For Detail, please click this link.. http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=22290
23 March or 4 April ? where is the difference after that we have wait six months ?
Its Still March.. The Howard Stinger Interview Has Some Interesting Info...they are Actually making the IPTV Service Integrated thought the Television Itself with No need for Computer.. This is Incredible...and Should Exceed Microsofts Service,As You will Directly Connect to the Net through the HDTV.. Brilliant Sony... ;)
A whole month of a difference? OH HORROR! Get a grip yi' bunch of marks.
He probably just meant before April.
The Ps3 will launch in March Period. Stop wasting your time!
Does anybody at sony know WTF is going on? The higher ups at that company are complete retards. No wonder sony is doing horrible since their lucky streak with consoles is coming to an end.
YAY the s`hit bag won't be with us for another 3 months.. THANK GOOD.. PS3 f`UCKING SUCKS!
"Mr. Stringer better watch what he says especially when it's about the PS3" Maybe you should also point out the same thing when you say IT EXCEEDS MICROSOFTS SERVICE!!!!
If you guys read the update, this was just a mistake... And since people are rumoring March 23rd, I'm sure the guy just said April because it's only like a week difference. But yeah, it was a mistake.... Gosh people seem to forget that we all make mistakes...
the guy makes a mistake and mis-speaks and everyone freaks out hilarious March is still on... I am guessing over a million units And the PS3/PSN update will be tight. You're still looking good PAL :)
Stringer looks constipated, give him a break.
the old *****got in the pic in the news looks like a retarded asian **********got
Why does this really matter anyway? A month difference wont stop people from buying it. I think you guys are lucky, you get another couple of months free from that crappy system. Sony should just cut their losses with the ps3, give a "whoops, our bad" and move on to the ps4.
What makes me laugh is the BUT the 360 had a year head start supporters!!!, well if you want to believe that then you must surly believe M$ is one year ahead with lets call it the 720 next gen machine.Maybe the fantasy 1 year head start should not be mentioned eh.
you guys in europe are lucky i wasted my money on the ps3 it is a turd do not buy it i bought an xbox 360 to compare the two the ps3 is probably 2 or 3 years behind the xbox sony online network is a crappy online store thats it. it took me 21/2 hours to download gran turismo concept update because they screwed that up too.w
