Natural Disasters in Japan Might Delay NGP Launch
The NGP is one of the most talked about electronics in recent years, but its imminent launch might be in jeopardy. Due to the major earthquake and following tsunami in Japan, Sony’s handheld might not release worldwide before the end of this year.
Speaking with Bloomberg, Sony Computer Entertainment America president Jack Tretton stated that the NGP might only release in a single region before the end of 2011. He stated:
It may be the straw that says ‘maybe we get to just one market by the end of the year. A delayed launch may give developers more time to create games for the platform.
No word from Jack on which region would see the release first, but since Europe got the Xperia PLAY, it’s only fair that U.S. gets the NGP. Agree or disagree?

Disagree, your completely ignoring it releasing in Japan only within 2011 as a possibility too.
same here i am usa sidonsin but now im in euorpe i say wait until everything gose ok then will start ngp OR only best buy and media markets sells them n the rest has to wait
Well I hope it comes out in the U.S. but I doubt it’s going to though.
I hope this is not true and not delayed. Really want to get one of these before Christmas. It would make a great Christmas give.
yea I see Japan getting it first… that’s pretty much the land of hand helds…
I agree, bring the NGP to the U.S. first pretty please.
i don’t think it will be a problem since they make majority of there products in China
