PSP Delayed Into 2005?

Thanks to the numerous readers who alerted us to the Gamespot article mentioning that the PSP may be delayed until next year. This analysis comes from games industry analysts and is the result of Sony's game title weakness and battery issues. David Jenkins at Gamasutra has additional analysis as well.

... as far as Nintendo is concerned

Well

Can't say much about game title weakness, Sony tends to be pretty strong there. Maybe they should dump some cash into the research of those nuclear batteries?

Good!

Lets me recover from the financial hit that is the Dual Screen...

super pixelated fighter 3, long drawn out rpg XI, beatem-up-shootemup 4, basketball slammer 2005, scary things jump out at you 3: the deadening, fast swurvy car drivin' 5...

same old crap that's released on the ps2 but now its portable and will likely cost twice as much to get 'in the game'! woot! ;p

An electronics device that is also part of the video game industry ... DELAYED!?! How can this be!

Seriously.

Nay. High-end games should feature the most carefully planned gameplay AND the most carefully rendered blood splatters.

It actually is WiFi, as in 802.11b, just powered down. Also, they did say that the networking was proprietary, so who knows if it will be IP running over that 802.11b connection... it might not be.

In a way, I would have preferred Bluetooth. You can still get 25 metre range off it, if it's needed. It would be able to chat with phones. And most importantly, I would be able to bluejack little kids with disturbing pictures. :-/
