PlayStation 3 might be delayed until 2007

PlayStation 3 might be delayed until 2007
Sony may delay the release of the PlayStation 3 console until 2007 if right conditions prevail, GameSpot writes.

According to Wedbush Morgan Securities Sony might delay the release if Microsoft drops the price of the 1st generation Xbox to no lower than $99, and if the Xbox 360 console is not a huge success at launch. In that case Sony might drop the price of PlayStation 2 to $99, which would still bring the company profit.



The reasoning behind the strategy is that dropping the PS2 price would disrupt the Xbox 360 launch. In that scenario Microsoft would be selling both the Xbox (at $99) and Xbox 360 (at $299.99?) at loss, while Sony would still be making profit with PS2.

It is quite unlikely that Xbox 360 would do so bad at launch that Sony could afford delaying the launch of PS3. Then again the plan could save Sony alot of money. It is estimated that Sony could lose more than $1 billion on PS3 hardware.

    It seems M$ is pushing $ony. This round of The Console Wars should be very intersting. I will be getting a 360. I have a PS2 and an Xbox. I find my self playing the Xbox more. I wonder if the 360 does very well if it will push $ony yo release the PS3 too early.

    I bet Microsoft are loving these rumours. All those gamers who were going to hang on for the PS3 are not going to wait till 2007, they'll grab a piece of next gen in the shape of an xbox360.
    Give it a couple of days and Sony will come out with a statement.
    Watch this space.

  • jayquik03

    ssxm: you wait and you pay your 500 bucks for something that doesnt even have a game made yet for it :-) I'll stick with my xbox early and maybe get the ps3 if it shows anything good for it this push till 07 might just make the few good companies for sony come over to the dark side

  • ToxicFish

    pretty wicked...

    I had heard that Sony made a statement on the target group for the ps3. Sony said something along the lines of "we don't expect to sell to the general public... the price isn't for everyone."

    I'm saving up all my pennies for the ps3 release. Man i would be pissed if it didn't come out till '07.

  • Mik3h

    Well, I don't want the PSP due to the fact that it runs out of power within about 6 hours..

    And Now I've layed my eyes on the Xbox 360.. If the PS3 will delay it's release until 2007, then I'll go for the Xbox 360.

    I own a PS2, but I want to get the Halo games and I let's face it, most games that come out for the PS3, will come out for the Xbox 360, so I aint waiting another 2 years.

    -Mike

    ps. I hope the price IS under £300.. in the UK

    3.8.2005 08:47 #11

  • Pop_Smith

    OK.... So, if $ony drops the PS2 price to $99 does that really matter? Sure they have one good series (GTA) j/k but, that is like people saying the XBox has only one good series (Halo).
    If people want a PS2 they would probably already have one. XBox 360 launches 1 year ahead (or more) and it might gain a great lead on the market.
    (review this: PS2 came out ONE year before XBox, it got a good market and still has one)
    This is because people will get tired of waiting for Sony to release the PS3, they will say (Hardcore people etc. won't so don't flame me please)
    "Sony is taking forever, I am using my money on a 360 and then when the PS3 comes out I will have enough for one of those too".

    In the end, I am going to buy all 3 becasue I have yet to hear from Nintendo so I think that I will have enough $$$ to buy all three systems by the time they get out.

    This has been Pop Smith's 2 cents.

    Peace,

    Pop Smith

    3.8.2005 09:46 #12

  • Reasons?

    1. They won't be making money at $100 a PS2, they will be delivering the console to more hands, selling more games therefore, and thus making more money through that. This makes the system and games more attractive to those with an Xbox and about to buy a Xbox 360.

    2. This came from Gamespot.

    3. Not only did it come from them, but they also included the word "may"

    4. Let's hope not. I want one NOW!

    They real purpose behind the delay *may* have to due with the high cost of BD drives higher than 1x, with a delay like this, the PS3 could incorporate a much better BD drive for less.

    The PSP runs out of juice in about six hours and that's bad battery life? I guess maybe I'm used to getting less than two hours out of my laptop or pocket pc, but I have been blown away with the battery life of the PSP! There aren't many must-have games yet, but I've been playing Untold Legends for I don't even know how long every day and I have been really impressed with the battery. I would say it definately has enough battery life to get me through a day's worth of gaming, and I've yet to run out of juice before I plugged it back into it's charger.

    GTA LCS is supposed to use more battery, but I'll probably just buy a spare or two.

    3.8.2005 11:49 #15

  • nonoitall

    I'll just wait. If the PS3 doesn't come out until '07, I don't really care. The wait will be worth it. By then, maybe the price of the components used in the PS3 will have gone down and the system can be sold at a lower price. IMO, the 360 will do okay, but the PS2 will still hold its ground for a however long it has to. Even the PSX still remains popular today for people who couldn't afford higher end systems and it came out way back in '95! I don't mind hanging on to my money for a little while longer. :)

    I have bin a ps fan since ps1 have had both ps1 & ps2.
    Let me tell u ... it's not all that great.
    I mean ps invented the mod chip & i give them luv,
    At least they don't mind if u copy their games, lol
    they put out alotta games & thats nice.
    I don't have anything against japanese ppl
    (I have alotta japanese friends) But most of those games that come out r japanese samuria & japanese characters & stories.
    Not to mention that the graphics on ps2 lack that of the xbox
    (especially the colors) big difference)
    I had an xbox sitting at my house for a long time with games that were on the ps2 & let me tell u on a small 27 in tv u can tell the difference. ps2 coloring sucks not to mention resuloution.
    XBOX 720X480 PS2 6xx X 480
    I might go for xbox360, theres my dollar

  • punx777

    for me, i will likely get the 360, especially if i have to wait 2 years to get my ps3, ps3 is suppose to cost 100 to 200 dollars more.

    Here is what the idiot president of sony said in a public statement 'The ps3 cant be offered at a price targeted towards households' tell me sir, WHO THE FUCK ELSE IS GOING TO BUY IT

    later he said that the console will last 10 years, how long did ps2 and xbox last, 3-4 years?

  • Kamran

    Hey it's simple am gonna buy xbox 360 this year and then if ps3 comes out next year il buy that if it comes out in 2007 i still buy it simply because its sony. the only 2 consoles in my opinion that matter are ps3 an xbox 360 but thats just my opinion.

    Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!
    I own the xbox right now and i love it. I also also be getting psp soon in a month. By the time PS3 comes out, The 360 price will drop. More games, And best of all mod. Sweeet. I will get PS3 when xbox 3 comes out. I alawys get cheap systems.

    3.8.2005 17:38 #20

  • gamer78

    sony is the only system to play on. see what x has to offer, then BAM, sony comes out hitting in the long run . i think its a good idea, but not so late as 2007, enless early 07. just up the quality of games for ps2 til then.

    4.8.2005 07:26 #21

  • Reasons?

    Sony will se everything about the 360, then best it garunteed. Why wouldn't they? That's what they're doing. Plus a later release will make the ps3 cost less.

    Ok People. PS3 SUCKS A LOT OF U KNOW WHAT. I mean c'mon. their best game for it is Killzone PS3. who would want to spend neary $500 on a crapy sony system just to play 1 game that looks like Hal for the Xbox. Why dont u go and get the 360 for $200 cheaper and killer games like Gears of War, Full Auto, Perfect Dark Zero and etc. PS3 Has nothin when against 360. LOL

  • SgtSpanky

    Thank god this could be the death of sony. I figure that mostly everyone who wants a ps2 has 1 by now, this should help microsoft alot the way it should be. They make better games, almost all games found on ps2 are now on xbox and their online game support is way better than sony's. I have a xbox and a ps2. I play way more xbox games than I do ps2 and the only reason I keep playing ps2 is so I can play madden on dialup. Sorry live in the boonies no broadband here. That may be changing and if it does im saying goodbye to sony for good. The only games I play anymore are fps, sports, and rpg's. microsoft has all of these now so there are no reasons for me to go back to sony.

    Personally, I plan on buying both the PS3 and the 360. I say Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all keep me pretty well entertained. I don't know why people end up hating one company so much.
    I played alot of Ps2 games, I played alot of Xbox games, maybe fewer Gamecube games. No point in only making yourself choose one.
    Besides, if one company totally dominated the others, they would be able to charge rediculously high prices for games, and I'd probably hate them for it.

    Also, (only from what I read, and I didn't read too much into the 360) the PS3 is going to be more powerful than the 360. If they need to do delay to try and keep selling systems, that's fine. And who knows, they may end up with more and better games at launch.

    My opinion in a nutshell: People shouldn't religiously choose one company; PS3 is a more powerful system than the 360; But I still hope to buy them all.

    5.8.2005 10:19 #28

  • Billyfett

    It's fuuny how everyne is going PS3 is more powerful than 360, but the PS3 is still in development. The 360 will be shipping in a few months. I think Sony is trying to blow up its machine early to take the wind out of Microsoft's sails. I have all 3 current systems and will end up owning the next three. It just seems like Sony is a a little paranoid about marketshare and making up for by talking sh!t about the 360.

    ps2 came out before xbox did...when xbox came out what did it offer that was so great in comparision to the ps2 ??? halo and a hard drive... big deal...im waiting for my sony end of story...espcially since im gona convert to blu ray ill have my ps3 ...final fantasy...and a blu ray drive if xbox had final fantasy and blu-ray id say xbox but they dont.

    5.8.2005 11:13 #30

  • Fox-AJ-

    Sony's problem is that the hardware they are using/developing is powerful, and is shown clearly by their struggles with keeping the price low and competitive. Also, the complexity of the system is making it difficult for developers to develop games for the system.
    The Xbox 360 sounds pretty much like an upgraded version of the Xbox.

    Oh, and I never really heard Sony say anything trying to really say the Xbox 360 was bad in any way. They just say theirs is better.

    Personally, I don't mind waiting for something a little different than the typical "better graphics than the old system." I just hope the Sony PS3 is actually something a little different.

  • diego4paw

    i was and always will be a fan of the ps system. i said i would never own an x box..didn't like the controller, didn't like this...blah blah blah....then i had a friend borrow me his xbox and fell in love! i would rather own an xbox now over the ps system...it wasn't until just this year i bought one.why? the graphics have been impressive on games and about the only few games i like to play that are not available for xbox are not worth the cost to me. final fantasy ok, yeah, great series has been for couple of decades...still..microsoft has won me over by far, if sony thinks a year delay will help them...wrong...most gamers are not going to wait a year for their favorite system just because the company wants to bypass the other....who really cares wether or not the other system beat the other....we want our games and we want them now!

    People hates companys because we can't buy all 3 systems like you. I'm poor i can only choose one. That's why we talk crap about othere system because I never got to tryed othere systems.

    It seems like more people are enjoying xbox than ps2. I use to be fan of Playstaion forever untill i played an xbox. I loved it. I love how you can upgrade the hardrive and stuff. Only sony system that i had was Ps1 and getting PSP. I would never get Ps2 or PS3. Xbox 360 all the way.

    6.8.2005 19:52 #34

  • Fox-AJ-

    It's understandable why everyone likes Xbox more than Ps2, since it is better overall, as far as hardware goes. Ps2 was released like a year earlier or so, so I can't say I'm surprised that the Xbox came out better.

    Mostly, I was just trying to make the point that just because you own one system or like one system, doesn't mean all the others are crap.
    Oh, and it took me about 3 years or so to get all three systems.

    Ps3 or Xbox-360 or Nintendo.. they all deliver a distraction , that is why we play !

    There's a lot of smart bloke's in this room , with prefences to what is the best. (ANsewer)

    ALL OF THEM.. they make us smile and frown at the same time dont they..FRigging hell that's what it is all about.

    2010.. the new genaterion of consoles will have all of us licking up our own spit off the hand control..

    IN short you all , i've seen them all being a game Frfeak for over 30 years. it is always disapointing when we all want the best of the best when it will upgraded with the best of the best after you buy it ...( THAT"S LIFE ")

    X-BOX man i am ,mod version.. mates on ps2,,mod also, ( end of the day we all smile and say )

    THANK you M$ & Sony & Old nintendo for all the good shit you mungrles put us through to where we are today..

    AND UNFORTUNATELY , SONY is goin to be the Lozers of this next-gen consoles because of delaying their system for another full year, charging at least $200 bucks more than 360 ( Just because its the fastest piece of crap in the world ) and having the shitiest line-up of games for their launch. AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED. SONY HAS LOST A LOT OF MONEY ON PSP ALREADY, AND THEIR ABOUT TO LOSE EVEN MORE MONEY WHEN PS3 COMES OUT. I GUESS THEY"LL NEVER LEARN; HUH!!!!!!

    12.8.2005 23:30 #40

  • nonoitall

    Even at the currently estimated price, the PS3 is not $200 more than the 360. Since they are waiting though, the price may be much lower when the system gets released, as components' prices will no doubt go down in the coming year or two.

    13.8.2005 00:50 #41

  • Jason8

    MAYBE SO, But Sony still has the Shitiest line-up of games for the PS3's launch. Why cant they just learn from microsoft and get developers who know what kinds of games that normal people like they publish them. JESSSUUSSSS!!!!!

    14.8.2005 14:15 #42

    I guess "normal" people don't like Final Fantasy games. As with any system, the fan base will ultimately determine their success. Both systems have a very respectable number of fans out there, so only time will tell.

    Hey ssxm,
    The xbox 360 is going to have final fanatasy and its going to be on xbox live for that matter and sony may never have final fantasy again because they pissed off aquare enix with them coming out with the slim- line ps2

    18.8.2005 04:56 #48

  • CHADSR

    Microsoft is going to catch up with sony because i got 1 word HALO 3 will be out in the summer of 2006 and that alone will sell a million xbox 360 systems by itself.The 360 will have a huge lead on sony and they are scared of what microsoft can and will do.Besides sony doesn't have any great online support and they will never be able to compete with the xbox live.The ps3 will be $100-$200 more than the 360 depending on which version you go with and if you are smart or have any sence then you'll get the $399 version that has all the xtra's.Also could this mean the end to the big N because after the revolution i don't think they will be able to compete with the likes of sony and microsoft and they will either follow in the path of the dreamcast and make games or follow the wishes of some people and help microsoft kill sony by letting microsoft buy them out as they have tried to do but nintendo wants to see if it can compete one last time before they die at least in the home console market but handheld is a different story

    You know. You can relate the gaming industry to the pop industry. Say 1 company (i.e. Coke) makes a newer product (i.e Cokew/Lime), then automatically another company (i.e Pepsi) makes the exact same thing as Coke did. Well thats like what Sony and M$ r doing. So far they r pretty much tied with Xbox and Ps2, and in future will be tied with the 360 and PS3. But, Sony has a portable Playstation (PSP) and if my calculations work correctly, its only a matter of time before M$ makes a Xbox Portable (XBP????) just to match what Sony did and then either tie it in the portable race or even kick its ass.

    You guys dont know anything. This is top-secret info so listen up. The PS3 is being delayed so that it's specs can be upgraded.
    1.It will function as a console, as previously thought.
    2.It is being upgraded to include the functionality of a toaster and Swiss Army Knife
    I can't wait

    Well, Well, Well. I guess since PS3 is delaying until next year, I have some time to start saving up for it, but i dont think i want to spend $1100.00 right now.
    ($1100.00 is probably what it will cost since the system will be like $900.00 after taxes and then games, depending on how many u want.

    The delays could only bring the price down...

    Maybe or maybe not, but if i know Sony ( & i have for about 8 years now ) even after all the delays itll probably be at least $150 more than the xbox 360 premium package. The only way that Sony can make me a fan of their PS3 is if they do wat xbox 360 did and put about $200 of accessories in a package for about $549.99 U.S. ( Even though i live in Canada, itll be $649.99, but still a better price for the PS3 then ive been hearing up-in-the-north; examples $749.99, even $819.99 cdn just for the system and a controller) WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would be surprised if they weren't way more expensive than the 360. The hardware is much more advanced. Who knows though - in 2007 maybe the cell processors used in the PS3 will be selling for what a Celeron sells at today. What I'm tring to get across is that the system isn't going to get any more expensive with a one-and-a-half year delay. It could only go the other direction. Where'd you hear it was going to be $750? The highest estimate I'd heard anywhere was $500. Also, $820 Canadian is actually quite a bit cheaper than $750 USD (as $820 CDN = about $680 USD).

    I heard it from 1 of my friends uncle ( who works for many publishing and developing teams ex. Ubisoft, Bungie,(even worked on Call of Duty 2 for 360) ) and he told his cousin and then he told me. That and i quote " Prices for PS3 could no higher then $699.99US ". And then when you take that money & turn it into Canadian ( Which we always get screwed with our money ) its about $838.67Cdn, thats where i got the 820Cdn from. So any questions Now????????

    So your friend's uncle who sometimes works on a development team for a company that worked heavily on a noteworthy Xbox 360 product and that sometimes works with Sony told his cousin, who told you that it would be no higher than $700. (I get that right?) All the better reason for the delay - prices can come down. Think about it though, if you were to try and buy a PC with the components used in the PS3, it would cost you thousands of dollars. Anything under $1000 is an incredible deal for customers. To stay competitive and plausible as a consumer's console, though, it would seem logical that they would wait until they could sell it at a price reasonably close to the other consoles, which is what they very well may be doing.

    I'm going to buy a playstation 2 but i have a big question.What is better playstation 2,or playstaion 2 (slim).I would really like an answer.Thanks......

  • wolf123

    well the old one is bigger but the slime one has built in broadband modem and the new ones only use cable.

    But the problem it heats upp alot so if you do get the slim get the add on where you stand it on edge and unplug it if you are not playing the system.
