TBWA has told GamesIndustry.biz that the UK advertising campaign for PS3 will begin towards the end of March - supporting suggestions from a senior retail source that the console will launch on the 23rd.

Last month, SCEE boss David Reeves confirmed that the PS3 is still on track to reach Europe in March, despite rumours to the contrary. However, Sony has yet to reveal an official date and price point for launch.

Speaking to GI.biz, a spokesperson for advertising agency TBWA said the marketing campaign for the console "launches towards the end of March" - which would suggest that an early March date is unlikely.

That's been backed up by a retail source who told GI.biz, "It's safe to assume that the PS3 launch will be towards the end of the month. My money is on the 23rd."

The source also confirmed reports that Sony is set to announce the final details of the launch within the next fortnight.

With their production problems over and an plenty of PS3s in both US and Japanese stores, this seems more than likely! We'll just have to wait a while longer for confirmation.

Some of the big sites (e.g. Play.com) now have this up as the release date too

A sign of poor sales in the US perhaps?

I don't think the PS3 will be anywhere near as succesful as the PS2
