Microsoft may not get the market lead it hopes for with its Xbox 360 launch at the end of this year, as reports come in of a spring launch for the Sony PlayStation 3.
According to German website Gamefront, chairman and CEO of Sony, Sir Howard Stringer confirmed that the company plans to launch its next generation console in the spring of 2006; much earlier than most industry observers had predicted.
Microsoft had hoped to lead the next generation hardware market for a significant period of time, as it prepares to launch its Xbox 360 console at the end of the year.
