PS3 doubts growing

Welcome to the "ump-teenth" edition of the "PS3 might be delayed" saga, this time per Forbes Magazine. Regarding the issue of when the console will launch, the author writes: "Sony's last word on this remains spring 2006, but almost nobody believes it — at least not for the North American launch — because of a history of delays for previous products. Thanksgiving looks to be a better bet, at least to Evan Wilson, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities."

The article suggest that Sony staying mum on details only hurts the PS3's chances of success. In Sony's defense, doesn't staying quiet about a launch date and price keep its competitors on their toes while keeping consumers anxious for the product a la Apple Computer?
