Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Announces New
March 2007 date for European Launch of PLAYSTATION 3 (28/9/2006)
No change in launch date for Japan and North
America
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE)
today announced that it would revise the launch date of its PLAYSTATION(R)
3 computer entertainment system in the PAL territories of Europe,
Russia, Middle East, Africa and Australasia from 17th November 2006,
as previously announced to March 2007.
Launch dates for Japan and North America
will remain the same, which are November 11th and November 17th
respectively.
The revision of the launch date in the SCEE
territories is caused by the delay in the mass production schedule
of the blue laser diode within the Sony Group, thus affecting the
timely procurement of key components to be utilised in PLAYSTATION
3.
The previously announced PLAYSTATION 3 shipment
forecast of 6 million units globally within the fiscal year ending
2007 is not changed.
