Because of chip shortages, Europe will not be getting the Sony PSP until the second quarter of 2005.
Yesterday, Sony announced the PSP would be coming to American shores on March 24, with a MSRP of $249.99. Since it's launch in Japan during the Christmas holidays, the demand for the PSP has been near insatiable. According to Eurogamer.net:
A spokesperson for the company told Bloomberg this morning that the device is now expected to ship in Europe in the first half of the year - the first time that Sony has ever indicated that it will arrive outside of the first quarter.
Speaking with the news service, Sony's Kenichi Fukunaga admitted that the firm cannot manufacture enough of the devices to satisfy demand in all three major markets - which has pushed the schedule for the European launch back.
