[PS3] PS3 delayed until March 07 in Europe

The same thing happened with the PSP though. Demand for Japanese ones was so high they stopped making European ones meaning there were only about 12 available to buy in England on the launch day.

It is an annoying move though and will mean I'll be getting myself a 360 for christmas instead of the PS3 I was thinking about and I suspect I won't be the only one. It's gonna have to be a pretty fucking special console now to make up the ground they're gonna lose.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No chance. I've not seen a single game shop that's been selling GameCube stuff for a couple of years now, Nintendo is pretty much dead in the water in the UK at least console-wise. Your average casula gamer these days is late teens, twenty something and not interested in the kiddy image Nintendo have. I'd be very surprised if the Wii did well at all.

The 360 will be a big seller over christmas but Sony will have caught them by next year, no doubt about it. Most of my friends own both an Xbox and a PS2, many have 360s and the ones who were holding out for a PS3 (Like I was) have mostly said they'll be buying a 360 instead. I imagine once the PS3 does arrive though, a lot of people will be getting one of those too, depending of course on the quality of games they release.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
