PS3 Delayed until March 2007
If you live in Europe, Russia, the Middle East, Africa and Australasia that is.
Bastards http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=67341 Sony are shooting themselves in the foot. Christmas is a big deal for console sales and Microsoft will clean up with the 360 and if Nintendo can release the Wii it could do loads as well. |

Nice one.

It doesn't matter. It's still going to be a raging success when it comes out.
|
Do we even have an official release date for the Wii? Will it be worldwide? Europe might get the Wii tomorrow, or we might get in 2009! :shifty:
I remember we got the normal DS and the DS Lite a few months after the rest of the world, so why is everybody thinking that Europe will have the Wii they same day Japan and US? They do have to translate the games and software into several languages you know... |
Well even if Wii doesn't come to Europe until 2009, you can't blame Nintendo for promising it would come earlier.
|
They have previously stated a worldwide launch on the same day.
Wii will find out on 14th september as they have some big announcment. |
Ah, dear old Haddock. The panels are from Objectif Lune, unless I miss my guess. :)

You couldn't really import one from the North America if you're elsewhere because the games are coded differently aren't they?
Bummer. :frown: |
Theoretically, they will be region free, but the decision whether to make their games region free or not will be left to publishers' discretion. Also, PS2 and PS games will probably remain region locked.
But that's not the biggest problem, I suspect there will be very few consoles available for importing because of expected shortages. |
I've seen the number two million rather than four million being bandied about. That's quite a shortfall compared to expectations.

For some weird reason this Europe delay didn't surprise me. News of problems with production and design of the PS3 have been in my peripheral vision for a long time now and I suspected that Sony may be hiding more than they would like us to to know. Thus it was only a matter of time before they'd have to tell us the truth.
Oh, and... European sales of Sony's PlayStation 3 delayed until March | International Herald Tribune, 9/6/06 Quote:

LMAO!!! Hoodwinks. Heh heh.

I'm sure I read in a couple of places the number of first round release units is around 500,000. World wide. Thats awfully low even for just a North America and Japan release.
Truly this is upsetting news since it means its that much longer before the first price drop on the 360. |
Not if you live in Japan.
|
Sony are really screwing themselves over. I can't defend them anymore, because they have only themselves to blame for the total screw up of the PS3 release.
|
Whoah. Soccerdude28 discrediting Sony. You heard it here first, guys!
Can't argue though; Sony is truly screwing up more and more, PR-wise. |
