Posts: 1,098     |  Key PS3 launch titles put back to 2007 Speaking to CVG, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO David Reeves has revealed that a trio of key PlayStation 3 launch titles are set to miss the November 17 launch date, and will now emerge in 2007. Formula One and Motorstorm are amongst those affected, whilst Heavenly Sword, one of the few bright spots of Sony's performance at E3, will also miss launch day. The delay of all three is something of a blow to Sony, which hasn't enjoyed the best of times recently, with the PS3 price and a rather underwhelming E3 showing both earning the company criticism. Nevertheless, Reeves has promised that the launch will see Sony "not just going for hardcore gamers," and announced that the launch window for PS3 will have a focus on social gaming, with My Singstar (which did look mighty nice at E3) scheduled to hit stores either on launch day or "certainly before Christmas." An EyeToy game was also promised by Reeves, and will appear after Christmas, but before March 2007. So, which titles are going to be there at launch exactly? Well, a couple of days ago Kaz Hirai informed us that there'll be 15 games launching alongside the console. Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man will certainly be a launch title, according to Reeves, though aside from that things are still rather murky. However, old Reevesey remains confident in the powerful PlayStation brand, confidently declaring that, "We've built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it, whatever it is, even if it didn't have games," which is an interesting concept if you ask us. More PS3 launch shenanigans as we get them, anyway. http://palgn.com.au/article.php?titl...e67351f46f7 a

Posts: 843   | well, they do have a point. they will sell out this holiday season even if it didn't have any games, thanks to a certain word....fanboy. mind you, this is a blow to them for the holiday season, and it just continues the negative pr that's going towards them.
