PlayStation 3 Manufacturing Not Started Yet?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-err-not-so-good-kaz dept.

aapold writes "Despite reports to the contrary, Sony Computer Entertainment American president Kaz Hirai states in an interview on Gamespot last week that 'We haven't started manufacturing yet. Some of our ops guys were actually just in China, and also in Japan just reviewing the [production] lines and everything else. But they are, again, preparing as we speak to get the manufacturing going. We've not announced and we haven't set really a specific date to say, 'As of this day we're going to start manufacturing.'"

    ... that there are too many negative Sony stories being posted in 3 - 2 - 1... Oops, I guess I'm too late.

    Hey, I like my weekly updates on Sony problems. I need to know whether there'll still be any idiots during launch who will be willing to pay 3 times retail price on Ebay.

    Is it me or is that thing ugly as a sin?

    I mean the "Royal Pink" DS are not that good looking, but at least the design of the product doesn't clash with the color, this thing on the other hand really shouldn't have seen the sun, ever.

    The PSP shortages hurt Sony as lots of people bought the cheaper DS instead and as a result the PSP didn't get that vital early userbase.

    Me thinks the shortage of non-ports-of-PS2-games didn't help either...

    Me thinks the relative shortages of ANY games didn't help, especially good games (of which there have been few).
