PSP North American Launch Date

Posted by Zonk on Thursday January 6, 2005 @06:02AM from the not-a-lot-of-detail,-there dept.

captain writes "According to PSP411, Sony C.E. President and CEO Ken Kutaragi announced today at CES 2005 that the PSP will have a North American launch in March, followed by Europe around the same time. In Japan, the near-PS2 quality portable gaming device sold only about 500k units on account of GPU shortages. While the price and exact date aren't entirely clear, the USD equivalent of the Japanese sale price is a little under $200USD. Some are speculating that the price could be even lower to contest Nintendo DS's long-held portable gaming throne even further." Some good writeups about the announcement at Gamespot and 1up.com.

PSP is coming to America. I've long thought that America could do with a few stronger influence of Paint and Shops on its software scene... Oh wait, you meany "Playstation Portable". In which case *Why Didn't You Say So?* Some of us have interests outside of gaming you know (Lives, too, but thats a rumour).
