PS3 Launch "Uncertain"

PS3

'Given that all of our previous statements about launching in Europe simultaneously with the US and Japan turned out not to be the case, I would not like to make any definitive statements on that. It's not my job to comment on hardware supply issues other than to say some very smart people are working very hard to catch up. In fact, the ramp up is already starting to happen in supply and output, just obviously too late for us to have launched in Europe at the same times as the US.'

So there you have it. Given the recently reduced console numbers for Japan, bringing the total number of hardware units available at launch to less than half a million, and Sony's own admission that things aren't panning out the way they hoped, it's a safe bet to put a question mark next to that big red circle around March on your gaming calender.
