Did Sony Computer Entertainment screw up and not produce the number of systems it had promised? Apparently not. In comments shared with the press today, SCE president Ken Kutaragi revealed that SCE was able to ship out 510,000 systems by the end of December. This number is 10,000 more than had originally been promised.
While hardware sales were limited by supply, Kutaragi is apparently pleased with sales on the software side. He states, 'We expected hardware to be insufficient, but we were able to sell more software than expected.' According to Kutaragi, some PSP titles managed to top the 200,000 mark.
Kutaragi comments that the primary reason for hardware shortages was the low supply of the PSP's graphics chip, which is manufactured internally at the company's Japanese fabrication facilities. The PSP chips are produced on a 90 nanometer production line which is at the forefront of technology at Sony's plants, and it was thus difficult to increase production.
Those waiting for the PSP's American launch won't have to wait too long. Kutaragi stated today that the PSP is on schedule to see release in Europe and America some time March. That means just a couple months waiting!
SCE hopes to sell 3,000,000 PSP units worldwide by early April, Kutaragi reiterated today. This number could rise if SCE can increase production at its plants. |
