Posted by ryuzaki0 on

Aleman writes "In this interview with Variety magazine, Sony CEO Howard Stringer confirms that the Playstation 3 will be released during the holiday 2006 season." Not very surprising given the available information.

  1. Given all the time by MS's execution by Hangtime · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sony is fine with waiting given the poor execution of the 360. Ironically, if MS had given itself a few more months it may have put more pressure on Sony. However, given the numbers I am seeing on the components even another nine months may not be enough for the PS3 to come in at a reasonable amount for Sony . Sony will not price it above $400 USD retail. But losing $500 on each console sold cannot be an attractive proposition for Sony higher-ups.

    Try post-ordering. Wait six months after release and you'll be fine.

    The launch games you want will still be available, and perhaps even marked down.

    For all the effort you went through to get your PlayStation 2, wouldn't you want to keep playing it for a few more months?
