Analysts foresee PSP delay

Industry watchers PJ McNealy as well as Piper Jaffray & Co. find PSP launch plans at "high risk" for delay as late as November 2005.

Sony's PSP is at "high risk" of a substantial delay--into next year for Japan, and perhaps all the way back to November 2005 for the US market. That's the word from two separate memos sent on consecutive business days from noted industry analysts.

On Friday, PJ McNealy of American Technology Research published a report that questioned whether the PSP software shown at the Tokyo Game Show--many of which were explicitly stated as only being 50 to 60 percent complete--would be ready for the Japanese launch of the system, currently slated for this December. "The launch of the PSP in Japan this holiday season continues to be at risk," wrote McNealy. "If [Sony] misses the PSP Japan launch schedule, it could affect the announced March quarter North American launch and would be considered a negative to the video game publishers."
