Betting that this information is true”, Game Informer says based on it’s “inside sources” that any delay will come out of the mere fact that Microsoft simply cannot produce enough of their next-gen machines to cover all 3 major markets. Microsoft’s plan all along was to have a near simultaneous release for the X360 covering North America, Europe and Japan.
This new rumor pushes the Japanese release into early ’06 missing the all important holiday buying season. Next week we hope to get more info regarding Microsoft’s launch plans at its Xbox Japan Summit 2005.
