Three major PS3 game titles delayed until 2007

May 20, 2006

DamnedIfIknow used our news submit to tell us that for whatever reason, some of the games for the PlayStation 3 could be delayed until after the first of the year. This would be inconvenient to say the least for Sony, as they have indicated a November release for their new cutting edge, Blu-ray gaming platform. However, they seem not too concerned, as the say the PlayStation is not just for gamers anymore.

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.

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.

The report went on to say though, that there will be some 15 games ready for the launch, among them, Insomniac's Resistance: Fall of Man.
