sony ps3 delayed again

It was inevitable.

Sony PS3 Delayed Again.

Is this a manifestation of a bigger problem? The answer? I don't think so. Sony and Microsoft have been delaying releases of their consoles since they started making consoles, so it should be no surprise that the PS3 is getting delayed.

It will be released in America, but only half the number of consoles that were anticipated will be up for purchase.

The holdup? The Blu-Ray DVD technology, which will cause Sony to miss its deadline in Europe.

It's frustrating, especially for the millions of people who expected to get one of these toys at Christmas. Well, that sounds stupid; it wouldn't be frustrating for the people who don't expect to get one at Christmas.

The only implication of the delay is that game companies have become so used to announcing something important that it is forgiven if they fail to meet said expectation.

Taking the Microsoft approach will only get you so far, Sony.
