Fourth Quarter 06' would only make sence. To let MS have another holiday season with no compition would mean big trouble for sony.

so itl take a bit longer for us her in the US/.

im not a big fan of the ps3, but if they do not release before xmas 06, they may as well not make a ps3 at all

I really think it needs to be out the door by christmas '06 if sony wants to continue to be a major player, 2 years of Xbox360 rule? thats an uphill battle man!

Looks like sony will be competeing with nintendo .

[EmbEn]

yeah, i agree.
They need to get it out for christmas this year. Will they achieve this?

I am not really sure. They have not finished anything. They are still deciding on the specs and overall design of the console.
So they have to do that, then actually mass produce them.
Test the console for bugs, get the launch titles ready, Market the console, get it out to all the shops.

They are no where near ready. No-one has played a single title on it yet and sony have tight lipped about the whole thing. We know hardly anything about the console/the games it will have.

The spring release is never gonna happen. Never. Even if they totally rushed the whole thing, it still wont happen. Get real.

I can see it being later this year for japan and late 2006/early 2007 for america and later still for europe and the rest of the world.

Then theres going to be shortages.

lol good quote

EmbEn: you have hit the nail on the head, they will try to take advatange of the xbox 360's lack of take-off in japan, and launch there first.
sony will allways have the japanese market, no matter what. but teh rest of the world, which is a huge market compared to japan alone, will most likely be all MS.

to be honest: id rather the ps3 not take off around the world. its a japanese console, and the 360 is basically a rest-of-the-world thing

September - December here in the US. That's what a lot of analysts and experts are estimating, and it's their "deadline" for release. Shopping season adds to the hype, just ask MS.

[twistedsymphony]

Based on how behind the hype curve they are, and with no actual physical beta products to speak of I cant see anything sooner then Q4 06 release IN JAPAN. I doubt they'll pull the same stunt as MS and launch world wide, If they miss the Q4 06 deadline in the US then there's no rush (because they missed the boat) so I suspect a US launch probably Q2 07.

They havent even had a working model yet, my brother works for sony and he even says they are watering it down now. They arent putting a HD inside of it, also Blu-Ray is gone, since the disc speed is still too slow to keep up with hd-dvd. the controllers will NOT be bluetooth, they are using usb controllers instead. So pretty much the ps3 is going to suck (i knew this from the start anyway lol)

I am not even going to comment on all the people who say 2007. It will come out Q4 2006. Sony is all about hype. They will be tightlipped on the whole thing until a couple months before it is released. They will announce it over the summer and have a launch right around october for jap's and december for US and Canada. 2007 will only be a figure the Euro's and Aussies and rest of the world will see.
