    Contradicting news from IGN? http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/750/750346p1.html

    Edit:

    Spoke to my mate who is a manager of a games retailer. He's apparantly been getting "vibes" about the launch being delayed from his head office i.e. don't take any more preorders or give any sort of date etc.

    So ti could be true, they did do this with the PSP if I recall.

    Apparently according to Sony these are unfounded rumours at the moment - however I personally wouldnt be surprised.

    Wierd one that, I wouldn't say its completely rubbished because the article finishes with them basically saying they may delay if they change the price.

    Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter agreed with Reeves that talk of a delay is "all speculation", telling GI.biz, "I think that the logic behind a March European launch was that demand would subside in the US sufficiently to allow Sony to divert supply to Europe.

    "It's unlikely that supply will outstrip demand any time before June, but Sony could decide to have a soft launch with limited quantities in Europe."
    So that is hinting at a delay really isn't it? A soft launch - whats that mean then? 10 consoles for the whole of Europe?

    if this did happen, they would wait until after Xmas to announce it anyway - otherwise more people would buy 360s/wii

    Why dont Sony just erase Europe completely? We're pretty much nothing to them it seems... I wonder how much it would affect them if Europe turned their backs on Sony completely...
