PSP™ General Discussion

[Absolutely_EPic]

I have read at some websites that sony is aiming to release this beast "at least" in one territory. thats what Jack Tretton CEO of SCEA said.

[Tahvo]

No....I think it will hit the stores in the end of this year other whise it will loose to 3Ds on sales etc

I was in blockbusters on friday and couldnt find any psp games. I asked where they were and was told they are stopping selling them because the psp2 was coming out this summer.

I said I thought it wasnt until much later than girl said that sony have told them to stop selling psp games because new console coming out soon.

I heard its Nov 2011

That is crazy. Why on earth would Sony tell them to STOP selling games?? It makes no sense. I don't think the girl in the shop was fully informed...

it wont of been Sony it will of been head office from within Blockbusters stating that all PSP stock has been discontinued from within the company and to sell all current stock off.

to be honest the official stance from Sony is to release the NGP "in at least one territory" by holidays, so expect a wait till Q1/Q2 2012.

the reason im expecting this is down to the fact Sony will release first in its home country as Sony always do and after that the US is the next important territory to release in.

here in EU/UK we are nothing but an after thought and looks at the PS3 release we were 6 months later than Jap and US market so expect the same treatment again if Sony dont have enough stock for a world wide release.

It's coming out this year, near the end to be exact as they said.

I wouldn't worry about NGP loosing sales to 3DS, not everyone likes cheap quality.

yea we know NGP is coming out this but as Big Jack Tretton said its aim it to launch in "at least one territory".

we all know that mean no world wide release and going on past console releases we all know EU get left till last !!!

so even though you keep saying its coming at the end of the year as Sony Said so, SCEA CO Jack Tretton says its not likely to have a world wide launch and it may only end up in one territory by the end of the year so be prepared for a longer wait  !!!

It will be out Christmas time for the UK, if not it will be a little after, around January 2012.

Well they'll probably definitely try to release it just before christmas or something, would be the perfect time.
