Variety Magazine Report PS3 Delay

Hollywood trade magazine Variety has conducted a new interview with Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer, who indicated that the PS3 will be delayed due to complications revolving the Cell processor.

Gamasutra report that the article attributes the delay to the company “fine-tuning� the console’s technology, referring to the PlayStation 3 as a “the poor man’s Blue-ray [sic]�, and suggests that the console will be released before the end of the year, but does not include a specific comment from Stringer confirming this.

Stringer also talked up the Playstation, saying that if it “delivers what everyone thinks it will, the game is up“. He further added, “Once Microsoft picked sides it was clear we were going to be in a battle royale.� and that “[Sony] won’t be stampeded� by Microsoft into rushing decisions “that are there forever.“
