During an EA conference call today, the company stated it does not expect to be able to meet consumer demand for Harmonix's Rock Band (PS2, PS3, X360) and revealed that Warhammer Online has been pushed back yet again.

"We won't be able to put up enough inventory to meet the demand of this fiscal or calendar year," EA CEO John Riccitiello said of Rock Band's expensive instrument-laden bundle, reports Gamasutra. The CEO stressed that "a lot of inventory" would be available when the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions launch on November 20, but indicated additional units would be difficult to come by "unless you know someone at one of our retailers."

Speaking on the Warhammer Online delay, the company, as related by FiringSquad, explained that Mythic co-founder Mark Jacobs requested the game's release be pushed back due to problems hitting production milestones. It is now anticipated to arrive within EA's 2009 fiscal year, which begins on April 1, 2008.
