guys couldn't this be because they plan to have a ps3 price cut in the west? that way there won't be a clash

either way CAN"T WAIT!

It's almost certain they do, though I highly doubt that's the reason for the Vita launch windows.  It's a shame we'll be waiting longer for it, but like I said I'm not in the least bit surprised (had already banked on it being 2012 anyway). Really don't think it's wise to launch so far outside of a holiday season though.

yeah I agree, I expected this to be the case from the start but hoped for a global launch during the holidays

the only reasons for this move that I can think of are

1. something to do with ps3 price cut

2. 3ds price cut

3. logistics issue and being unable to supply promtly all regions from the get go
