Sony console delay stokes holiday sales worries, more delays possible, developers stocks tumble

Some analysts said the delay could be the tip of the iceberg as Sony pushes to get its costly and complex machine through the thorny manufacturing process into the hands of enthusiasts.

"I think it raises concerns that maybe Europe is the first and possibly not the last to fold in its launch plans," Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey told Reuters.

And now Sony has screwed the people that really matter - the people with money. I am an Xbox fan and once saw Sony as a rival. Now I see Sony as the underdog and I actually feel sorry for them.

Thats the last straw, Defo not getting a PS3 now, Get a 360 and Jump in! I am soon ;)

No surprise here, M$ did it's homework sending they're system out first has caught fony of gaurd and now they seem to be grassping at straws. Fony will indeed sell out once it comes to market but at what cost. Many gamers have already opened they're eyes to what Xbox and live can offer. Secretly telling themselves wow these games are good. And slowly admitting M$ aint all that bad.

Ouch, this is going to hurt.

I think if you're an investor, or a shareholder of Sony, you need to pay attention to what's going on here. A second delay, and expected units on release day cut by 75%...yet Sony still putting out press releases that all is fine, that they will still be on target by their financial year end.

Companies answer to the shareholders, and I think the shareholders need to be asking a few questions.

Chronical6438d ago

Honestly, i dont know what there thinking. 75% of their release is not even there thats 1.5 million consoles missing or maybe even more. and they call that on track. I wonder how many of the consoles are going to be the 500$ batch and the 600$ ones.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis2h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv7220h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast22h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood22h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK19h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast1h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake17h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast54m ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon13h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast53m ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
