Sony’s NGP launch could be limited to one region

Sony’s NGP [PSP successor], may only be launched in one region this year – either Japan, Europe or the US because of the continuing crisis in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami.

Sony Computer Entertainment America president, Jack Tretton told Bloomberg, “It may be the straw that says maybe we get to just one market by the end of the year.”

This should not come as a surprise as Japan is a primary manufacturer of electronics and components and the earthquake has forced several factories in Japan to close for repair. Supplies from third parties in Northern Japan have been badly effected.

Sony | “Ultimate portable entertainment is coming 2011”

PSP2 is official?  Erm, yes.  Maybe.  Under another name.  For now.

At a “specially convened press conference” [I suppose our invite is still in the post] held earlier today, 27 January in Tokyo, Japan, Sony announced its next generation portable entertainment system, but left it at code name…NGP – get it?  The NGP promises to deliver “the ultimate portable entertainment experience.”
