Damn wanted to get it this year, hopefully it launches in january, and I think people are making too big of a deal about this, if it has the games people will buy it.

Come on folks it's not like kids can't ask their parents for a full Pre-Order of the console for Christmas.

What kind of Christmas present is that?

"Hi son, instead of giving you a console to play and enjoy now, Santa has decided to give you this piece of paper that says that in X months you can get a PSV...  Now you can go to your cousin's house to show him the paper while he plays Mario/Zelda/Starfox on his new 3DS."

 

Now seriously, this is very bad news for Sony and very good news for Nintendo after the recent fiasco.

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

4. Kinect being a monster this holiday season, rendering a PS Vita launch irrelevant. That's why PS Vita launches in Japan this year, because the Xbox 360 and Kinect don't matter over there.


good point but I don't believe sony is aiming at the casual market with psv in its first year in the market. so doubt kinect has anything to do with it
