PS3 European launch delayed until March 2007
Ray Maguire, managing director of Sony Computer Entertainment UK, has spoken of the company’s disappointment at the news that the PlayStation 3 will not arrive in Europe until March 2007.
The European delay is being blamed on the high-definition Blu-ray disc drives in the PlayStation 3.
"We are extremely disappointed at news of this delay. We can truly empathise with everyone who was looking forward to PS3’s imminent release,” Maguire stated.
“We will however be working tirelessly to ensure that the March 2007 launch is the biggest and best in the company’s history.”
News of the delay broke this morning after Sony issued a statement revealing that the PS3 will no longer launch in PAL territories this November, as planned.
Ken Kutaragi, head of Sony’s global computer entertainment division, said the PS3 would still be launched in Japan on 11 November 2006 and in the US on 17 November 2006.
