If it doesn\'t launch til 2007 they will be giving 360 the holiday season all to itself. It will be very hard not to pick up one seeing how ps3 would be so far away. I hope all these analyst and news people are wrong.

wow, cool new.  Is this the first time a console were released on the same day worldwide?  Or has there been a console that were release worldwide on the same day before?

BTW, what do they mean 6 million consoles will be released in 2006 alone?  If ps3 are be release 1 million units per month, and it start in early Nov...doesn\'t that mean you only get no more than 3 millions by the end of December?

I\'m guessing 1 million per territory.

EDIT: The GameSpot article says 6 million by March \'07.


Sony confirms delay for next-gen console; says it will support an Xbox Live-like online gaming service--and require a 60GB linux hard drive.

TOKYO--Today at the 2006 PlayStation Business Briefing in Tokyo, Sony Computer Entertainment president Ken Kutagari made it official--the PlayStation 3 has been delayed. The news confirmed widely circulated Japanese newspaper reports, which said that the delay was due to copyright-protection problems with the next-generation console\'s Blu-ray drive. For his part, Kutaragi would only say the delay was due to "Blu-ray spec finalization."

Kutaragi told the crowd at the event that the PS3 would now launch in November 2006 worldwide. That dispelled fears that the console would make it to Japan in time by the fall, but would miss the all-important holiday shopping season in the US and Europe. In fact, Kutaragi explicitly told the crowd of game retailers and journalists present that the PS3 would arrive before Thanksgiving in all territories.

Besides the delay, Kutaragi also made official another widely reported aspect of the PS3. He said that Sony is indeed preparing an Xbox Live-like online gaming service for the console, which would be called the "PlayStation Network Platform." Though he was short on specifics, the executive did say that currently Sony planned the service to be "free."

While the simultaneous tri-territory PS3 scheme may sound much like Microsoft\'s international launch of the Xbox 360, Sony plans to avoid the shortages that befell its competitor. Kutaragi said that the company plans on producing at least one million units of the console each month in order to keep the supply channel full. He said the goal was to ship 6 million PS3s worldwide by March 2007.


Personally I think it\'s ok. We all get it before the year ends and hopefully with better/more games.

More:

    *  PS3 will utilize a 60GB hard drive. The drive is upgradable, and will run Linux. Apparently like the Xbox 360, it will allow the console to serve as a media hub in some way. All games will be developed under the assumption that a hard drive is present.
    * Full PS1 and PS2 backwards compatibility has been re-confirmed. As with Xbox 360, the console will upsample legacy games to high definition resolutions, but full support will be built into the system rather than added.
    * Final PS3 development kits will ship in June. Coincidentally, that is the same month final Revolution kits will be reaching developers.
    * PS3\'s online service will have a basic version available free to all users. It will feature services such as matchmaking, voice chat, and purchasable content. IGN reports that GameSpy has been contracted to contribute to the online implementation. GameSpy was also tapped to contribute to Nintendo\'s DS online service.

wow, i love the annoucement...

but what makes me curious is just how much will the PS3 going to cost if its also included a 60 GBytes HDD?  Or does it?...

-Blu Ray built in
-60 Gbytes HDD maybe included?
-Cell processor
-NVidia Graphic Card

How about have 1 Gbyte built in HDD which probably cost no more than a few bucks, and sell the 60 Gbytes as an external upgrade.

From what I gather, it seems PS3 will come with a HD by default with Linux on it.

After one day, I bet the PS3 sells half of all X360\'s from the entire previous year. I think they\'re floating near the 5-6 million mark.

Well don\'t assume they will only have 1 million units the first month...  If copyright protections are the issue then there is no reason the manufacturing isn\'t starting now with software being loaded on the machine at a later date.


Wasn\'t xbox launched worldwide?
