Also, a bit dated but I wonder who's titles are involved. Sony admits software glitch with PlayStation 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Agence France Presse via NewsEdge Corporation : TOKYO, Feb 9 (AFP) - Japan's Sony Corp. admitted Wednesday that some of the video game software for the current PlayStation has turned out to be incompatible with its new PlayStation 2, which will be launched in March. But Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE), a subsidiary of the Japanese electronics giant, denied rumours of a second delay to the launch of its eagerly awaited games console. "Some software titles for the current PlayStation could not be used properly with PlayStation 2 because some programmers ignored our program parameters when making their software," said Kenichi Fukunaga, a spokesman for SCE. "We are not at a stage where we can announce how many of them will have a problem with SonyPlaystation 2, but the number should be very limited," Fukunaga said. Screen images may be unclear when users install some of the software for the current PlayStation console into the new version, he said. SonyPlaystation 2, to be launched on March 4, was supposed to accept all software for the current SonyPlaystation. Some 600 million titles have been sold worldwide for the popular console. "But we have no plan to change our sales schedule due to the problem," Fukunaga said. Last September the launch of the next-generation console, which Sony says will have the best graphics yet seen in home computer games, along with a DVD player and Internet access, was put back to March from the winter. No explanation was given for the delay of the PlayStation 2, a powerful 128-bit console with 32 megabytes of memory which will sell for 39,800 yen (369 dollars). si/djw/sls <<Agence France Presse -- 02-09-00>>
