If Sony were to release their ps3 next week; the gods of chaos would rule the world for the next month. Most places haven't established a proper pre-order list yet, so the console would be sold on a first-come first-served basis. Half of the gaming public would be unaware of the launch, while the other half would be madly selling their other game systems on ebay in order to acquire the massive money-reservoir that they would need to purchase a ps3.
Nearly everyone expects a fall release. Why Sony is still bothering to release their console so early is beyond me. The Saturn was released months early. It caught gamers off-guard and didn't sell as well as it could. Plus, its early release meant nothing, since most third-party developers were unready to release their games for the system. Lesson: Systems sell better when the public has had time to prepare for their launch.
BTW, Sony: I'm still waiting for you to release Gran Tourismo 4 for the psp. I'm sure the gaming public will be forgiving to you for a ps3 delay if you take the time to ensure a smooth launch. In the mean time, why not dote on the psp owners out there? Give us the full power of the psp processor and give us a port of Grandia 3. Trust me Sony, it would sell.
