Analysts React to PS3 Delay

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the picking-on-the-downtrodden dept.

GameDailyBiz has a piece looking at some professional analyst opinion on what the PS3 delay means for Sony. From the article: "Merrill Lynch analyst Hitoshi Kuriyama cautioned, however, that we shouldn't take the global launch for granted as there are still many hurdles. '[Sony] still has a number of obstacles to surmount before it can achieve a simultaneous global launch of PS3 in November. We will need to keep close tabs on whether any further delays emerge because postponing the launch will worsen the company's competitive position,' he said in a research note."

    It's shame to see all that spin go to waste- we should attach magnets to these analysts and generate some electricity.

    Apparently they are on track to have enough units to ship about 500k systems to Japan in June but have decided to go for a simultaneous launch in all three territories in November with millions of units.

    That would have been awesome. Customers getting final PS3 hardware before game devs. rofl
