Could Sony's stubbornness over Blu-Ray be the folly that sinks the PS3?

The question of whether Sony could possibly hope to get the PlayStation 3 out in Europe on the originally planned November timescale is one which has been discussed at length in many game companies, and Eurogamer Network is no exception. Today's announcement that the console's launch has slipped to March 2007 puts an end to all of that speculation, and elicits equal measures of surprise (from the camp that believed Sony's promise) and smugness (from those who did not).

"Ubisoft's Japan-developed GT Pro Series--which may or may not be a Wii launch title, depending on where you get your information from--will come with an attachment of some sort that will make it a 'must-have'.

GTA creator sides with Microsoft

Dave Jones, the creator of Grand Theft Auto, has laid his cards on the table and has suggested that his future game development work may well lie with the Xbox 360. Jones is currently working on the Xbox 360 exclusive Crackdown, but has been heavily involved in developing games for Sony's PS One and PS2 for a number of years.

In an inteview with Edge Magazine, Jones said, “I seriously question Sony’s policy of leaving it down to publishers to come up with their own standards for each [online] game. I completely disagree with it. I’m not going to put my credit card details with five different companies for some bits of downloadable content. Sony is a huge force, and definitely has been with the PS2 – but now I see it being, at worst, a 50/50 race, but as time goes on I lean more and more towards Microsoft."
