more exciting news from my good friends at CE Pro
I know I'm reporting stories out of chronological sequence, but I've been busy with a number of different projects this week, and am playing catch up.
Sony has announced that despite remaining commited to releasing Playstation3 in Asia and North America this November, the Europeans will have to wait until March 2007. In addition, they have revised downwards their estimated units for sale in the initial launch from 2 million to 400,000.
In addition to supply chain difficulties that have hamstrung Sony's efforts for a global launch, the Playstation3's debut is now being dogged by criticism that none of the software titles scheduled to ship in time for the release will take advantage of PS3's Blu-ray technology, and it's potential for 1080p video resolution.
"Potential" as my high school track coach was fond of pointing out, "is the ugliest word in the English language." It remains to be seen whether PS3 will live up to its own.
