- Post a comment Sony spokesperson said that their
Playstation 3 game console is still due to launch this spring, although
there is no word on whether it will launch worldwide in that time fram or just
in Japan:
Sony on Thursday said it remained on track to roll out its PlayStation 3 game
console by spring 2006 despite industry speculation that the scheduled launch
could face delays.
The timing of the release of Sony's updated PlayStation console has become a
matter of speculation in the $25 billion video game industry and among the
studios, hardware makers and other companies looking to handicap the battle over
next-generation DVD technology.
A spokesman for Sony, the No. 1 provider of game consoles, said it was still
targeting a spring 2006 launch for the PS3, which is key to maintaining its lead
in the game console market against Microsoft, which recently launched its
competing Xbox 360 console.
