PS3 release probably not until Holiday season

Published on January 18, 2006 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

I always figured the PS3 would be released around the Holiday season.

The release of Sony's highly anticipated PlayStation 3 may not occur in the U.S. until the holiday season of 2006, analysts say. Furthermore, in what could be potentially damaging to the gaming console's overall sales, the number of titles available may be far less than competitor Xbox 360.

A working version of the console was notably absent at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, and Sony CEO Howard Stringer left any mention of the PS3 out of his keynote address. A non-working model was displayed behind glass, and only non-playable demos of games were shown at Sony's booth.

I saw a quote where Bill Gates said they were planning to release Halo 3 on the same day as Sony released the PS3...I wonder if they'll push the game back to the Holiday season (probably not, I've already seen an ad for a spring release).

Well I just answered my own inquiry...perhaps.
