If you are dying to get your hands on Sony’s forthcoming next-generation portable game platform, you may have to wait longer than originally anticipated. According to a report in Bloomberg, the NGP may only release in one region this year because of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami.
Jack Tretton, president of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, said in an interview last week, ““It may be the straw that says ‘maybe we get to just one market by the end of the year.’” He went on to say that this potential delay could give developers extra time to complete games for the new platform. Sony said back in January that NGP would be out in "at least one" region by late 2011.
You can expect to hear more about all those games slated for release on the NGP during E3 in June. Until then, we’ll keep you posted if Sony officially delays the NGP’s release in any region.
