Sony screws up...maybe

In Microsoft form Sony has delivered itself a serious blow in the ongoing console wars. An insider named ‘Fishie’ who has been very reliable thus far, says the release of the PS3 will be nowhere near March. In fact Sony has inadvertly been helping Microsoft by telling all their loyal fans that their system would be here soon. Thanks to Sony a large part of the market has been momentarily delayed from buying a system. The result being that although Microsoft didn’t produce enough 360’s and did piss off a few people – it could have been worse.

I think most people, myself included, would have waited until March. Unfortunately we probably won’t get a Japanese release date until after March and a North American release date several months after that. This will hurt Sony big time. People are going to get sick of waiting and start considering their options all while 360 partners pump out games. Stay tuned for CES.
