Top Sony boss Ken Kutaragi announced on Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas that their forthcoming handheld, the PSP, will be released in Europe and the US in March.
How convenient; this ties in nicely with the Nintendo DS' launch on these shores, three agonisingly long months after the US release of the touch-screen games console.
Call me a cynic, but something tells me that Sony have had their foundations shaken recently, with the surprisingly intense selling spree of the DS in both the US and Japan, and the PlayStation 2's second place stance to Xbox console sales in the last four months of 2004. They may be trying to reassert their prominence, by taking the wind out of the deserving Nintendo sales (sails).
