Whatâ..s Holding Up PlayStation 3?

The worldwide launch of Sony’s PlayStation 3 has been delayed until early November, the company said yesterday at a press conference in Tokyo. Sony attributed the revised launch, pushed back from this spring, to a delay in the release of copy-protection software required for the PS3’s game and high-definition movie discs.
While few doubt that the PlayStation 3 will be a hot seller when it hits the streets, the delay gives Microsoftâ..s Xbox 360 a major head startâ..a full year in which it will compete mainly with two older consoles, the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo’s GameCube. Xbox game developers will also be busy. Microsoft says it expects that nearly 50 Xbox 360 game titles will be on sale by June, twice the number of games currently available.
