A senior Koei Japan exec has let slip that more PlayStation 3 news will be unveiled at a Sony event on March 15th, reports Gamefront (via Japanese site Watch Impress).

This appears to back up ongoing reports that PlayStation global head of development Phil Harrison will reveal more information on plans for the console at his GDC keynote later in March.

Sony has gone completely media dark on PS3 since way back at E3 last May, despite a continuing defense of its (increasingly unlikely) Spring 2006 release date.

While the Koei exec's comments aren't exactly a confirmation, don't forget that original PS2 debut was also at a Japanese event in March, followed by a wider demonstration at GDC. Will history repeat? We'll know next week.
