EU PSP Launch Delayed To September

Posted by Zonk on 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."

    Seriously, they "only" sold 575k of the stock they sent to us, why not just adjust their forecasts for out-of-japan sales and deliver to both markets?

    Don't tell me it's cause the other 500K are needed for dead-pixel exchanges? :D
