Sony – PS3 2005 Release Date Possible

Sony’s next-gen PS3 console could be set for an early release date of 2005 according to Sony rep Takao Yuhara:

IGN – Responding to questions from Jiji news service, Sony Chief Financial Officer Takao Yuhara states, "For the year end sales season, simultaneously building up both the PlayStation Portable system in America and Europe as well as the next generation PlayStation is one option that we have."

The state of the next generation PlayStation software shown at next week’s E3 show should reveal if a 2005 release is a possibility for the new system, or if Yuhara’s comments were designed to take some steam out of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 unveiling later today.
