Sony Denies PS3 Delay · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday February 20, 2006 @05:49AM from the fight-the-good-fight dept.

Eurogamer reports that Sony is flatly denying the delay of the PlayStation 3. From the article: "Sakaguchi was responding to allegations made by Merrill Lynch analyst Joe Osha in a report published late last week, in which Osha claimed that the PS3 could launch in autumn in Japan, with a US launch possibly being delayed to early 2007. 'There is no change in our original plan to release the console in spring 2006," Sakaguchi told the press in Tokyo, referring to the company's only stated goal for the launch so far - namely that the console will appear in at least one territory, most likely Japan, this spring.' They have lots of opportunities at GDC and E3 to change the public perception that their next console is still very much a work in progress.

State of development systems? by SpookyFish · 2006-02-20 06:04 · Score: 1, Redundant

Are there not some developers who can say how (in)complete the development systems are? If people don't have dev kits, there won't be games, so who cares when the console launches.

The PS3, while potentially more powerful than the 360, seems almost certain to require substantially more effort to extract that power -- making a good dev environment even more critical.
