PS3 delayed in Europe until September 07?
Wednesday 13-Dec-2006 11:07 AM Source tells CVG that PS3 won't launch in Europe until September 2007 while Sony sticks to March release

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".

If it doesn't appear in March they might as well give up or drop the silly price tag as it will be 2 years behind its direct competitor (360) and 1 year behind it's 'cheap alternative' (Wii). So if they do move to September 07 it'll have to be cheaper than the Wii and supplied in seriously large quantities just to drive sales as their will be a lot of peed off people and rightly so.

R.I.P Sony as a console manufacturer if you ask me.

Of course Sony would deny it otherwise everybody will give up waiting and buy a Wii or 360.
