Sony exec insists PS3 date unknown

Ostensibly in response to yesterday's report that the PlayStation 3 would launch in both Japan and the US in September, Tetsuhiko Yasuda, managing director of Sony Computer Entertainment Asia, said, "We want to be completely prepared when we bring PlayStation 3 to the marketplace," continuing, "Our primary competition is not other companies but counterfeiters. We want to work with governments to stop this." Riiiight. We know counterfeiting is a serious problem, but we're pretty sure somebody at Sony has noticed the 360 breathing down their neck. We think.

A reader tipped us off that the official PlayStation site, which lists the system's specs, still maintains the console will launch "in Spring 2006." Throw us a bone here Sony!
