Ian Livingstone has questioned a decision by Sony to delay the launch of its next generation console, the Playstation 3, during an exclusive interview with Games Industry. The Eidos executive believes however that the PS3 will still dominate the market in Europe once released.
"I think it was a strange decision, given that Europe has been the most successful market for PS1 and PS2. The decision is certainly going to test the resolve of their faithful consumers hitherto loyal to the brand.
"It means that Microsoft will have had the luxury of selling the 360 for two Christmases without competition from Sony - and let Nintendo's Wii in too. I'm sure Sony never planned it that way, but it does put them in a tight spot."
