Char Ell Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 Uh-oh! Breaking reports are saying Sony will announce that the PS3 won't launch in Japan until November. Who knows what this will mean for when the PS3 will launch in North America? click here for GameDaily report click here for IGN report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Former Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm not surprised at all, I expected as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char Ell Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 ^^^ Really? I for one will be surprised if this news turns out to be true. I thought for sure Sony would find a way to get the PS3 to the North American market by late November, early December. Sony Computer Entertainment President Ken Kutaragi is supposed to address the PS3 issue at some Sony-sponsored meeting tomorrow so we'll see what officially comes out then.

Lynk Former Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Nope, it's been confirmed, November. Plus it's a worldwide release as I expected Sony would do to combat the Xbox360. Let's see if they can keep their promises though seeing as their console is harder to manufacter than the 360 is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 ... seeing as their console is harder to manufacter than the 360 is... Ive had a look at the ps3 specs, the reason because of the delay is because of a secret ingredient in the manufacture process : [align=center]LOVE [/align] November is no biggy for me, more time to save for it. Though I wont be buying it on first release, unless it launches with a Final Fantasy title, SW Flight sim or BioWare RPG! (all of which is highly unlikely) mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes more sense to me but while I wondered if Sony would do a "worldwide" launch I didn't think it likely since they hadn't done it before. IMO Sony is pretty much forced into a multi-region launch in order to avoid missing the year-end holiday sales season. But yeah, I agree that they better have all their manufacturing ducks in a row in order to produce 6 million PS3's by the end of the year because that is a tall order, to say the least. I would say sorry about Australia not being included in the "worldwide" launch of the PS3, Lynk Former, but I didn't think you were planning on buying one anyway. Ive had a look at the ps3 specs, the reason because of the delay is because of a secret ingredient in the manufacture process : LOVE Yeah, it's all about the love man!
