A senior spokesperson for SCEE has told that Sony has made no commitment to launching PS3 simultaneously in the US and Europe, despite comments seemingly leading to that effect made by SCEE boss David Reeves this week.
Nick Sharples, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe head of corporate communications, said that the company was "definitely not" committing to a simultaneous release at this point in time. Sharples has declared: "Traditionally, it's gone Japan, then the States, then Europe - not just on our console, but on other games consoles and on other consumer electronics."
"He was referring to the fact that as boss of the European organization, it's his job and his responsibility to try and get PlayStation 3 into Europe as quickly as he possibly can," Sharples explained. "That's what he's trying to achieve".
