PLAYSTATION 3 RELEASED IN JAPAN

Sony has released the new Playstaion 3 in Japan today with only 100 000 units available to consumers.

Reported from many different sources there are Japanese people rounding buildings with lines to get the new console.

North America still waits for its whole 400 000 units to come (although it was first reported to be 600 000 units) on November 17.

Sony has blamed many things for the low production of the PS3 including the blue-ray optical drive and the low-yielding Cell processor.

Many analysts expect the PS3 to win the next console war but not by as big of margin. Playstation has some the the biggest platform games out there including SOCOM: US NAVY SEALS and most people consider Final Fantasy a platform game as well (even though Final Fantasy XI was released for the XBOX 360).

One things for sure, if you haven't already slapped down some money for a pre-order of your very own PS3 you won't be getting one this Christmas.
