After shares in a number of leading publishing companies dipped on the NASDAQ following Sonyâs announcement of a delay to the European launch of the PS3, Electronic Arts has reiterated its support for the console.

Shares in Electronic Arts, the worldâs largest videogame publisher, fell USD$ 1.19 to USD$ 50.69. EA has number of titles lined-up for the new home consoles, including Fight Night Round 3 - which was due for release this winter.

However, the delay didnât dent the publisher's public face, which offered GamesIndustry.biz the following statement: âEA will have a great portfolio of games ready when the console arrives in Europe, and weâre looking forward to bringing our PS3 line up to gamers in the region this March.â

Shares in EAâs closest rival, Activision, fell 20 cents to US$ 12.81, while THQ recorded a dip of 35 cents to US$ 25.79 and Take-Two registered a fall of 14 cents to US$ 11.46.
