    Default PS3 - 2007 Q2?

    Playstation 3 might just make it in 2007

    If you're lucky

    By Theo Valich in China: Saturday 13 May 2006, 17:57

    MICROSOFT is winning the console war by a mile. While the attention is turned to the Sony booth, the sad fact is that the company is presenting second-generation developer kits to the general audience, while the showcased product is just an empty case.

    However, even that is not important. If information from our source proves correct, Microsoft will be the first company with 10 million products on the market and Sony will be in for helluwa trouble.

    The Cell yields are frankly, horrible and the company is looking for different ways and means how to improve the product in order to be able to shop in middle-November. In fact, our source claims that "Sony does not posses a magic wand" and that slapping the GeForce 7900GT was an error, since it would take approximately same amount of time to make a dedicated GPU for the cause. The error part is pretty way off-balance, but don't shoot the messenger.

    The source claims that the fall launch is just hitting Christmas with a number of titles, but with real console unavailability (can you say: paper launch?), which is guaranteed to piss distributors off and just about turns a lot of the market to the Microsoft side. Real availability is expected at the mid Q2 2007, right about the time of E3 2007. µ

    I know theres alot of speculation as to whether its gonna launch on time... It would be really stupid of a massive corp like sony to make an announcment like that and then not deliver...Still stranger things have happened ill just have to wait a bit longer if ness not gonna line gates pocket for inferior product.

    Sony are digging themselves deeper and deeper with the PS3.

    "if" the story is true and not just propaganda this would be a serious blow for Sony. 2 christmases with no PS3? M$ may win this battle and poor Sony will be left out.
