Sony denies PS3 delay in Europe…again

If at first you don’t succeed at squashing a rumor, you can deny it again. That’s what Europe“>SCEE boss Sony Computer Entertainment Europe Boss”>David Reeves just did. The rumor dates back to a few months ago and was even attributed to Sony prez Ken Kutaragi. This is the one where the PS3’s European debut was pushed back from March 2007 to September.

If we are to believe Sony, that statement was about as accurate as reports of the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But since some rumors are harder to kill than others… once and for all here is the latest denial from Reeves: “We’re still on schedule to launch PS3 in March throughout the PAL territories. All speculation otherwise is without foundation.”

Still skeptical? Wedbush Morgan, a company who makes it their business to check what other companies are up to, says Sony is probably telling the truth. “The logic behind a March European launch was that demand would subside in the US sufficiently to allow Sony to divert supply to Europe.”

Now someone please get a shovel and bury this dead rumor before it starts to stink. Wait! What if the demand for PS3 does not taper off? Oh, well they can always delay it again. But for now March is still officially the European PS3 D-Day.
