The PS3 is out in North American and Japan, but the rest of the world has been forced to wait until March to sample Sony�s next-gen machine. This means that by the time the PS3 is available in Australia, the Wii will have a four-month head start and the 360 will have an 11-month head start. However, despite all this, Sony clearly isn�t concerned about the delay; they�re confident that Blu-Ray will bring victory in the next-gen console battle.
"The Wii-type functionality is more just a sub-element of what the PlayStation 3 offers," Nic Foster, general manager for Sony Australia & New Zealand, told the Sydney Morning Herald. "Wii is a core gaming device. It's a more fun, intuitive sort of product to pick up, where the PS3 is a broader entertainment solution; so you can have your fun, enjoyable gaming�but then you have a whole suite of other applications...such as Blu-ray media playback, the ability to access your music, access your photos and the interoperability with the PlayStation Portable."
And apparently, Sony Europe isn�t worried, either. One of the biggest reasons for the delay is the slow production of Blu-Ray laser diode manufacturing, but Vice President of Technology at SCE Europe, Paul Holman, says it would�ve been �messy� to offer the player later as an accessory. In the same breath, he was quick to point out Microsoft�s move of bringing HD-DVD to the 360 at a later date.
All in all, it appears Sony simply isn�t gnawing their fingertips with crippling anxiety.
