"The new timeline means that the PlayStation 3 will still hit store shelves simultaneously in Japan, North America and Europe, just in time for Christmas."

This sucks...I was hoping to get a PS3 over the summer for its Blu-Ray capabilities. Oh well, its beginning to look we'll see people reverting to fisticuffs in order get get their mitts on a PS3 for Christmas...which is one step above doing business with the eBay shylocks.

can anyone see a price cut for the 360 starting on black friday?

With a rollout in US, Europe and Japan, I can just imagine how many units might actually be available before Christmas! Assuming of course no other delays happen.

Hahahahahahaha... I was dead right since last Summer when I declared this will be the case.

It's another devastating news for Sony, of course, that's why they kept lying about it for more than 6 months - it was impossible in September already, due to the fact that its NV-designed graphic chip was still in design phase.

SCEI, especially its CEO, you pretentious bald-faced lying loser Kuratagi: you're getting what you deserve. :up :devil:

That was out of question from the beginning, looking at Blu-Ray's vaporware products.

Sony's production line is set to pump out one million units per month to meet demand, with a total of six million units to be produced in Fiscal Year 2006 (through March 2007) alone. Production numbers are higher for PS1 and PS2 in their initial years.

Get ready for cluster launch like the XBox 360.

Based on that, sounds like at most about 2 million units available worldwide for Christmas shopping season. Not gonna be very many around I guess. MS must be loving this!

I will get on as many pre-orders as I can at all the stores. Maybe I'll get one. If I get more, then there's ebay.

Ah, c'mon... good ol' Kutaragi-San was high once again. He's one of the biggest corporate liar master ever - you shouldn't believe him anything.

Bill Gates must be happy.

Take the 360 down to $300.00.

PS3 launches and you can't find it anywhere.

360's are being pumped out by the truck load.

Microsoft sells millions of 360's while the PS3 is out of stock this Christmas.
