已确认 SONY 放弃在2004年推出PSP
不过SONY还是打算在2004年秋在日本本土推出PSP,放弃的是PSP的2004年全球推出。
Confirmed: No PSP until 2005
[UPDATE] CNN/Money reports that Sony has quietly delayed its portable; Sony confirms the "adjusted launch" to GameSpot.
Many gamers got a bombshell with their morning coffee today when word began to spread that the PSP might--might--not be released until 2005.
In his "Game Over" column today, CNN/Money game-industry correspondent Chris Morris is reporting that Sony has quietly told American and European developers, publishers, and retail outlets not to expect its combination game deck/media player anytime this year.
According to Morris, Sony still plans to launch the PSP in Japan in fall of 2004. The staggering between Sony's domestic and international debuts would be similar to the seven-month gap between the PlayStation 2's Japanese and American launches.
The delay would also mean that Nintendo's controversial dual-screen DS portable won't face any competition if it launches late this year.
After being forwarded Morris' column, a Sony spokesperson responded to GameSpot with the following statement:
"At the opening of Destination PlayStation today, SCEA management confirmed the following:
PSP launch in Japan will come around the close of calendar year 2004, as previously announced. The North American release will follow within our company's fiscal year (2005), which ends March 31, 2005. We have received an overwhelming amount of support from the software development community with regard to PSP. In order to ensure that the launch timeframe is well supported, we want to allow developers and publishers sufficient time to optimize content for our new portable entertainment platform." Sony's parsing of the PSP's American and Japanese release dates differs from statements made at last year's SCEA Gamers' Day. There, Sony executives said the PSP was on track for a "simultaneous worldwide" launch in Q4 of 2004.
When GameSpot pointed out this discrepancy, a Sony spokesperson explicitly confirmed that the PSP release has been pushed back. "Yes, the company adjusted the product launch schedule for the reason stated," said the spokesperson.

另一个相关新闻。非上面的翻译。
各位玩家是不是已经迫不及待的等着SONY与任天堂在掌机领域的对决了呢?不过这条消息却实在让人扫兴:期待PSP的玩家恐怕要再等上一段时间了。
SONY宣布该公司生产的便携娱乐终端——PSP(Play Station Portble)在日本的发售将保持在今年的假期发售,不过欧美地区的发售日却推迟至2005年!
"我们推迟主机发售日期的目的是为玩家提供更多可以选择的游戏”SCE发言人Teresa Weaver如是说。
SONY的系统一般是先发售日版,然后再推出其他地区的版本。P.J. McNealy说:"游戏产业的基地就是日本,所以我们一般习惯在日本先推出产品,然后再开拓其他地区。尽管欧美市场要大的多”
不过话虽如此,PSP这次的延期却给任天堂一个不可多得的好机会。比如:GBA系列主机在PSP推出前完全没有必要降价、开发中的NDS可以有更多的时间来拉近游戏厂家的距离、有更多的时间来开拓玩家群。
不过PSP本次延期的原因真的为了准备更多的游戏吗?在这之前已经有一些厂家宣布将会在PSP发售同时为该主机提供游戏,比如:EA准备在发售当天推出8-12款游戏、THQ将推出2-3款游戏,而且其他第3方软件商也一定会为PSP提供大量的游戏作为支持。这些游戏难道真的不够吗?不管怎么说,我们只有等待今年E3大展的详细情报了。
