Sony Delays Launch of PSP Handheld Game Device Until 2005

Tokyo -- Sony Corp. has announced that it will not release its new PSP portable video game device in the U.S. in time for the 2004 holiday shopping season, instead opting to ship the PSP some time in the first quarter of 2005. Sony confirmed that the device will still launch this year in Japan, but will also delay the PSP's launch in Europe until 2005. "In order to ensure that the launch time frame is well supported, we want to allow developers and publishers sufficient time to optimize content for our new portable-entertainment platform," Sony spokeswoman Teresa Weaver told News.com. Analysts said the delay may benefit Nintendo, which plans to launch its own new portable handheld game, the dual-screened Nintendo DS, by the end of the year.
