European PS3 launch delayed until March

Well shame for them..

I'm sticking with Wii.

I'm happy with my psp tho

Sony should be as ashamed as it is laughable. They're riding on the wave of success the PS1 (warranted) and PS2 (mostly unwarranted) brought them, and the result is they're a joke.

I can't wait to see the numbers of preorders cancelled for this xmas, and the big smiles on Nintendo and Microsoft's faces.

Oh man, seems Sony is in big trouble.

Wii FTW!

It seems the war is between nintendo and ms... who would of ever thaught that? strange how things can work out. Anyway, I predict nintendo will rule the market once again.

Didn't they say after the shambles that was the PSP launch in europe they were going to put real effort into getting the PS3 out on time. :roll:

I was just starting to look forward to the ps3 as well. Ow well Wii soon and another 360 xmas.

Sony just lost Europe.

Will be interesting to see if MS are willing to do some post-christmas price cuts on the 360 come March, to make it even more appealing against the uber-priced, late arriving PS3. They were understandably wanting to keep it as it stands for Christmas, but I think they might be a little more willing to drop a little off afterwards.

Actually I heard at work they just announced a 200 USD package with Ninety Nine Nights in Japan....time to take advantage of the very low number of PS3 units expected for Japan (100,000 against 400,000 for the US)

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

You don't need a price cut when your comparable models are already $200 cheaper

If it's any consolation (it's not...) all us folks over at SCEE are as gutted as everyone else.

Bet M$ are laughing their asses off at us right now.

Seems like Sony is making the customer their lowest priority, which is a shame because I have really enjoyed my PS2 over the last few years.

Can you pre-order a Wii in the US yet?

Sony can sod off.

Here we're paying $800 for the PS3 unit, over $100 a game, and now it won't be here for half a year? I think I'll be well into the other consoles by then.

I heard there is Wii info coming on the 15th of September - hopefully confirming the launch dates, game lineups, and pricing structure so that shops can get those preorders going. If not then, I guess it will be at TGS a week or so later. I've not found anywhere taking them in the UK yet Izuno, dunno if the situation is the same in the US.

15th Nintendo conference is worldwide so I'm pretty sure we'll hear all the unannounced Wii stuff on that day. Can't wait!

If any of you have stocks(shares?) in Sony, now would be a good time to sell before they fuck up completely ;P

Has Sony managed to get anything right this generation?
