lol no.

The chip manufacturing would be separate from each other and MSs issues would be unrelated to anything AMD and Sony have going. MS might have a newer chip base it wanted while Sony is using an older design. If that rumor was even right, all it means is that production of Sony's APU is to be started later than MSs (which was supposed to be already underway). I think their own (the site reporting the rumor) speculation that it means Sony won't come out until 2014 is stupid.

It doesn't matter. In the few months we'll know for sure. I have zero doubts well before E3 both companies will have some sort of an outing of their next-gen consoles.

So why wouldn't they start producing the Sony chips if the Microsoft ones were having to be delayed.  They could have someone work on those issues and build the Sony ones in the meantime.

Why does it have to be related? Why can't it just be part of the overall manufacturing plan Sony has had planned already?
