Europe PSP Launch May Be Delayed

A source within Sony has said there is a good chance that Sony's PlayStation Portable unit may miss its late March target for release in Europe. Publicly, Sony is denying any delay in the launch, only saying that the PSP will ship "in the spring." Sony yesterday announced a March 24 release date for United States gamers.

"There's a possibility that the launch could be delayed," the source told Reuters. If Sony's new portable is delayed, it would be the second time the launch date has been pushed back. The PSP was originally slated to debut in Europe during Christmas.
