EU PSP Launch Delayed To September

Posted by Zonk on Saturday April 2, 2005 @07:29AM from the woe-comes-to-the-old-country dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has the news that the European launch of the PSP handheld may be delayed until September of this year. June is currently assumed to be the earliest the platform could arrive in Europe, delays being caused by ongoing supply shortages. From the article: "The company managed to ship only half a million units in Japan in the month of launch, while in order to supply a million units to the USA for launch, the European and South Korean launches had to be bumped back. With both Japan and North America to keep supplied, the process of manufacturing a respectable number of units for the European market could be even slower, unless the firm brings new production capacity online."

If they've got a shortage in the EU they could just move PSPs from the USA over. Afterall, the PSP hasn't been the blockbuster fly-off-the-shelf success that people thought it might be.
