Nvidia drops clues on PS3 launch date: not spring

Dean Takahashi connects the dots between a statement made during Nvidia's conference call yesterday and the elusive release date of the PS3. Takahashi writes, "Graphics chip maker Nvidia reported today that it doesn't anticipate any royalties from Sony during the current fiscal quarter which closes at the end of April," then deduces, "since Nvidia won't be collecting royalties on the chip this quarter, that suggests that Sony isn't going to be producing machines during the months that close at the end of April, 2006."

If systems aren't being built by the end of April, it's pretty hard to imagine the PS3 being released this spring.
