Phil Harrison, Sony's president of worldwide studios, has apologis𒉰ed for the severe delay to the launch of PlayStation 3 in Europe, but reckons that the March release can still be a positive thing.
Harrison has also revealed that the decision to hold back Europe's induction into the PS3 club was only made "literally a few days before we made the announcement," suggesting Sony did everything it could to avoid let𒉰ting us down.
"We are better to do a launch in two markets, rather than do a diluted launch in all three," Harrison states. Sony "cou💯ldn't predict the quantities [of a critical component]" and so "did the analysis and had to make the decision to delay Euroꦬpe".
In an interview wit⛦h gaming mag PSM3, Harrison explains that with only one language in Japan, and three in the US, it was easier to ♑focus on those areas. Harrison also proclaimed, "I'm really sorry that we had to delay the launch".
