"Sony Corp said on Thursday it would delay the US and European release of an eagerly awaited handheld version of its PlayStation console until next year because it wanted more time to prepare game software. The electronics and entertainment conglomerate said the handheld video game device, PSP, would still be released in Japan this year, but some analysts also questioned that target," reports Reuters.
"Expectations are high for the PSP, already touted by PlayStation guru Ken Kutaragi as "the Walkman of the 21st century" for its ability to play games, movies and music."
