I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see it pushed back to 2008- I just think it's irresponsible for a member here to post such a thing as if it's established fact until, well...it actually is.

If thats the case, then I think Sony could be in trouble as I know many analysts are waiting for the results of the next holiday season before picking sides. They better find a way to perform an agressive price cut if that's the case, especially when BDP purists are likely going to start opting for these new $600 BDP's hitting the market. That means PS3 sales could fall even more. It would further add salt to an open wound if Microsoft found a way to finallly get MSG4 or FF to go multiplatform. I don't know if it will happen as Kojima is aggressively in the PS3 camp, but money talks in this industry. At least with Square, EA is one of their bigger shareholders and could use their influence to help get the FF series multiplatform.
