Sony UK boss reveals disappointment at PS3 delay

Ray Maguire, managing director of SCE UK, has told GamesIndustry.biz of the company's disappointment at the news that the PlayStation 3 will not arrive in Europe until March 2007.

"We are extremely disappointed at news of this delay. We can truly empathise with everyone who was looking forward to PS3's imminent release," Maguire stated.

"We will however be working tirelessly to ensure that the March 2007 launch is the biggest and best in the company's history."

News of the delay broke this morning after Sony issued a statement revealing that the PS3 will no longer launch in PAL territories this November, as planned.

However, the console is still slated to launch in Japan on November 11, with a US release to follow on November 17.
