PSP postponed in Europe

Sony delays the release of its PSP "for several months;" American launch still on track for March 24.

The launch of the Nintendo DS in Europe last Friday brought handheld gamers across the pond a handful of joy. The launch of the DS beat its main competitor's expected release of the PSP to market by two weeks. Sony's first foray into the handheld market was expected to be released later this month, giving European gamers a viable choice between the two handhelds.

Those holding out for the PSP will have to watch Nintendophiles prance around with their dual-screen handhelds for a few months longer--the PSP's European release has been delayed. Georges Fornay, chief of Sony Computer Entertainment France, has confirmed the unit's delay. The release is being postponed "for several months" so that Sony can adequately provide enough PSPs to satisfy the consumer demand.

Americans need not fret--Sony has promised one million PSPs for its launch in North America. The PSP launched in Japan on December 12. For more information on the PSP, read GameSpot Hardware's PSP 101 feature.

in other news sony has said stfu to every part of the world in respect to keeping the numbers for the american realease. Because god only knows taking an amount from the american shipment into the european batch would push the date back a month at best. Imagine the whinging from americans. /end idiotic rant at why sony doesnt even out the market for once.

psp isnt even close for oceania yet, ds got the jump as far as consumer happiness goes and its only those who want an objective and competative market who havent bought a ds yet.

Which is why if we could upon the ds launch youd wait outside stores that sell it and not buy it until you barter for a lower price. Companies will panic that theyre not gonna sell any and be more realisitc in their pricing. But since there are idiots (who spent $100 for crappy halo2 @ midnight) thatd never work so meh.
