A better article on why Sony might deliberately slip Playstation 3
Tags: Microsoft, Sony, Games, Gaming, XBox 360, Playstation 3, Marketing
ArsTechnica has a much better reasoned article about why Sony might choose to delay its PS3 launch until 2007. The interesting justification is that they would delay only if the XBox 360 launch flops! Why? Because it would tag Microsoft with a lot of very expensive subsidized console sales (read money losing, big-time) on both Xbox 1 and Xbox 360, and it would allow Sony to build a killer title base for its later launch. I don't completely buy it, but it makes a lot more sense than the previous one I cited.
