Sony squashes rumors of additonal PS3 delay in Europe

Although SCE Worldwide Europe VP Jamie MacDonald says that the Europeans don’t really mind another round of delay for the PS3, this is one piece of news that patient gamers on the other side of the Atlantic would love. Sony has just officially denied the rumor that the PS3 won’t be available in Europe until May 2007.

The rumours started from statements, credited to Ken Kutaragi, that a PS3 shortage in North America and Japan may push back its European debut. Unfortunately, this statement ended up being posted on the various European game sites, much to the dismay of fans. However, Sony clarifies that the rumors are, well, just rumors, and news of any further delay of the PS3 launch in Europe are categorically not true.

The PS3 is set to be launched in Europe by March 2007, so we’ll stay tuned and see how it all goes.
