Microsoft Responds To PS3 Delay
Microsoft’s European boss Chris Lewis has responded to Sony’s decision to postpone the PS3 launch in Europe, saying, “The move is not surprising”.
“We know how challenging it is to pull off a global launch, so it’s not surprising that Sony has backed away from their previously announced launch plan due to the unproven technology they are trying to pack in to their console”
When Microsoft launched the Xbox360 in US, Japan and Europe simultaneously, there were console shortages in during the first few months of the launch, but that’s common with all new hardware.
Microsoft will end up having a good 16-17 month lead over Sony’s PS3 in Europe, but as we reported earlier, sales in Europe aren’t going that well, out of 5 million consoles sold, only 1.3 million were sold in Europe.
