Shin Kiyoshi belives that the lack of development tools is the reason for the Sony PS3 delay
Last week at the 2006 Playstation Business Briefing, Ken kutaragi explained that the PS3 delay was due to problems with the finalization of the next-gen Blu-ray discs. However, international Game developers Association Japan (IGDA Japan) president Shin Kiyoshi believes that that the delay may be the result of another factor.
Kiyoshi reports that Sony has not been able to provide key PS3 development tools to developers in a timely fashion. As a result game makers haven?t been able to really get deep into development. Nikkei Net says Shin pointed out that the PS3?s compiler, which converts programs into language that the console can understand, was just recently released to developers.
