In order to ensure demand in the United States is met, Sony officials stated the PSP's European launch would again be delayed.

The US PSP launch is scheduled for March 24, only 8 days from now. When Sony revealed the European delay, they made no mention of a make-up date. However, according to The Register, some European retailers have the date listed as June 6, 2005.

Certainly it will be "a few months rather than a few weeks", the spokesman said, working from the original late March ship date rather than the more recent late April date the launch was already believed to have slipped to.

The cause of the delay is Sony's inability to make enough consoles for both markets. It wants to launch the PSP in the US with 1m units and "continuity of supply thereafter".
