Sony Says It Could Miss PS3 Production Deadline...Again?

Looks like Sony's upcoming PS3 could be late for shipping targets for 2006 and Q1 of 2007, and surprise, surprise: Blu-ray is the culprit.According to a Bloomberg report, problems with Blu-ray parts are causing Sony to fall short of its goal to ship 2 million PS3s by the end of the year, and six million by March '07.

The scheduled release is in November, but Bloomberg quotes Jack Tretton, co-chairman of Sony Computer Entertainment America, as saying the figures were "more of a target" and admitting that Sony had production issues.

He said: "The honest answer is it's more of a target...Clearly we've had production issues.''

This only seems to be getting worse.
