Sony still has not revised its April 2006 PS3 launch date, but
analysts are starting to doubt the next-gen console will make it, saying instead that a late 2006 release would be more likely. Analysts point to the fact that the PS3 was not present at CES, only a few thousand dev kits have been sent out, next-gen titles normally take about 18 months to develop, and complexities of mass producing the PS3's high-tech Cell chip. Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson predicts the PS3 may only be available in very small quantities, 1 million for Japan, and another million for North America, with Europe possibly not seeing any units until March 2007.
