According to analysts at Wedbush Morgan, seemingly still unable to lay off the
crack pipe, the PlayStation 3 will ship in 2007 if the Xbox 360 fails to ignite
the hardware market.<br>

a possibility that the PS3 launch will slip into early 2007.</div>

Of course, this stands in stark contrast with wider expectations, set by Sony at
The PlayStation meeting last week (albeit off the record) that we’ll see at
least a Japanese launch of PlayStation 3 in spring 2006.<br>
<br>
Sony is keeping tight-lipped on this as you might expect, though SPOnG cannot
help wonder if the analysts quoted above have any tangible concept of what it
takes to launch a videogame platform. The entire process is a massive
undertaking and cannot be decided upon a whim, as suggested.<br>
<br>
From manufacturing to retail, PR to third-party publishing/developing, SPOnG
would assert that it’s simply impossible to maintain a transient console launch
strategy as Wedbush Morgan describes.<br>
<br>
Expect official comment from SCEI at the Tokyo Game Show in September.
