Comments on: RESPONSE TO LAUNCH DELAY RUMOUR /blog/2006/12/response-to-launch-delay-rumour/ We're not PlayStation but we sometimes get to speak to them Mon, 19 Mar 2018 10:47:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: zee /blog/2006/12/response-to-launch-delay-rumour/comment-page-1/#comment-1175 zee Fri, 15 Dec 2006 23:22:17 +0000 /blog/?p=218#comment-1175 As a stock holder you can get all Sony's financial reports. Holdings shares in SCEE surely you should be able to find out whether there will be a delay in the European launch because you need this info as it can effect you, as you are a share holder in SCEE. I could be totally wrong about this but if there is any person or knows of any persons, could you find out this info from SOny. I think Sony still could luanch in the UK only if they delayed European launch as we buy more playstation than any other European country anyway. If there is to be a delay, I'm imoprting. They may of stopped Lik-Sang but there are others and I could always buy my games/blu-rays movies from US ebay. As a stock holder you can get all Sony’s financial reports.

Are they connected to any other game sites? Are they run by Sony? What is 'semi-official'? I'd love to share some of my plans with Three Speech, but cannot do so until I know who's behind it.

Locally I know one of my friend's brothers was able to find a bunch of PS3's at Wal-Mart, so he bought 4 of the 20 gb ones to sell on Ebay. Obviously it's a free country and he can do what he wants, but I think it's just taking advantage of gamers that are actually trying to find a system, but are unable to unless they want to pay over the normal price in order to obtain one. Mine is being delivered today that I ordered from Gamestop, but it definitely seems like more are being in stock. Gamestop has pre-orders now for consoles shipping on 1/5/07 (I ordered mine about a week ago and it was scheduled to ship tomorrow but shipped two days early). I know Sears has or had them in stock today. Seems like Wal-Mart and some of the other stores are having them pop-up on line pretty often. So it seems like Sony is getting the units out pretty regularly. All that was to say that I think you're right, it doesn't seem out of the question for me to think that they can launch with at least 200k units in Europe, if not at least double that. That's 4 months from launch in the US, and I think it's easily do-able to launch on time, unless there's something crazy that happens. 22- Honestly, it seems like Sony is getting the units out pretty well, at least as well as can be expected.

If they have been producing 10% of all PS3's for PAL and stocking them up on the side, that would mean that they have at least 50,000 units ready to go, and that's only if they limited themselves to 10%. 20% - 100,000 30% - 150,000 etc. Has anyone put any thought into the idea that maybe the US/Japan production is trickling in because they are….*GASP* producing PAL units????

20% - 100,000
30% - 150,000
etc.

I mean, he's Larry Hryb, a Microsoft employee. Who are these guys? Anonymous marketing guys from an outside company? This is why Sony is struggling with an image problem now. Microsoft, for all their faults, is good about interacting with the community. They're open and out there. Sony hires advertisers to set up fake blogs and create the impression of interaction, like we're too stupid to notice. Not that I think they really CARE if we notice. But still.

Unless these problems are solved to Sony's satisfaction by mid February there isn't likely to be a European launch in March,period.

Someone discovered the same thing you did and yes, it's run by Sony. Seems like the same type of idea as Major Nelson. Tom S- Everyone knew that a couple months ago.

They were saying the same thing when rumors went out about Sony coming up short for the US/Japan launch- look how many they ended up shipping. Sony needs work hard and deliver the systems, firmware updates, and quality games to earn their reputation back and consumer trust. I’d wait and see.
