Oh dear, oh dear. This could potentially cost Sony an aaawful lot of money. Oh, and another post from Digg – getting bored yet?
Edit – Let's add a little more meat to this post shall we?
What does this mean for Sony? Quite a lot, I would think. Europe won't see the machine until well into 2007, Christmas 2006 will see a newly launched PS3 up against an established Xbox 360 with all the trials and tribulations that a new hardware launch brings (limited stock, incomplete line-up of games, potential bugs and hardware problems). Not to mention the fact that the launch price is extremely likely to be far higher than the 360's price point at that time.
And none of this takes Nintendo into account. Sony better have a pretty stellar launch line-up, and a price point that can't be refused…
Update – As Joystiq have said, the article doesn't say much. I stand by what I said though, and still predict a late 2006 launch for PS3.
Digg was in last month’s copy of Business 2.0 magazine which covered latest Web 2.0 sites and how the influence of Amazon recommendations, eBay rating etc.. defined by the user / customer group is changing how businesses approach the web.
Writely also got a mention. As did zimbra..
