Is the PS3 Dead in the Water? Part 2

Published by

The bad news keeps piling on from the Sony camp, this time with the revelation that the PS3 will not launch in Europe this year. How much worse can it get? What are the consequences? JCal tells the story.

A few weeks ago, Michael Goodman, an analyst for financial firm the Yankee Group, predicted that the PS3 would be the overall winner in the next-gen console wars, edging out the Xbox 360 and blowing away the Wii in terms of total console units sold in five years. With the announcements of the European delay and the shortfall of PS3s in the US and Japan for the launch, we contacted Goodman again to find out if he plans to change his predictions. Goodman told us over the phone Wednesday that he had just heard about the changes on Sony?s part and as a result was not able to say whether his earlier predictions would stick, but did say he will be making some kind of changes in his report in the next couple of weeks.
