Sony delays European PlayStation 3 launch

By

Sony Corp. said on Wednesday it would delay the European launch of its PlayStation 3 (PS3) game machine to March from November due to inadequate supply of a key component, missing the critical Christmas shopping season. First Sony gets hit with the battery recall and now this! What is going on with Sony?

This is the second time Sony, which competes with Microsoft Corp. and Nintendo Co. Ltd. in the nearly $30 billion video game market, has delayed the sale of its latest blockbuster PlayStation console. The company earlier this year delayed overall PS3 launch to November from spring 2006. The announcement, made after the Tokyo stock market closed, comes after recalls of almost 6 million notebook PC batteries Sony provided to Dell Inc.
