PSP Launch in USA scheduled for March

PSP Launch in USA scheduled for March

It’s now January of 2005 and the PSP is still nowhere to be found. Unless you happen to be at a store when shipments arrive (or you, perhaps, live in the remote “inaka”), you have as much a chance of getting a PSP now as you did at launch: zero.

Did Sony Computer Entertainment screw up and not produce the number of systems it had promised? Apparently not. In comments shared with the press today, SCE president Ken Kutaragi revealed that SCE was able to ship out 510,000 systems by the end of December. This number is 10,000 more than had originally been promised.

While hardware sales were limited by supply, Kutaragi is apparently pleased with sales on the software side. He states, “We expected hardware to be insufficient, but we were able to sell more software than expected.” According to Kutaragi, some PSP titles managed to top the 200,000 mark.
