I really do believe Sony have blown it. We all knew that the PS3 was delayed until March in the UK but now insiders have revealed that there simply aren't enough blue laser diodes to go round. The same insider also stated that roughly half of Sony's orders will be met by Xmas and that they have stopped shipping the diodes to other companies to safeguard Sony's supply. This will probably mean that the amount of PS3's shipping in the US will be drastically cut down to keep Japanese pre-orders at a maximum (remember the 360 shortage on release in Europe?). Anyway, it looks like another 360 victory this Xmas and I'm sure the Microsoft team are cracking open the bubbly! |
