A new European Sony Executive Chris Deering said in an interview with the company's PlayStation.com Web site that the current launch schedule for the Sony PSP handheld Game Console is November 2004.
Of course a spokesperson at Sony Computer Entertainment downplayed the interview and said that the official launch date remains the fourth quarter of this year and is no more precise than that.
So what we can say is that Sony tries to hit next Christmas with the new handheld Game Console.

The Sony PSP is one of the hottest topics (PSP Story on I4U is most viewed of all times) and we will of course stay on top of it and continue to bring you full coverage. We reported about the Sony PSP the first time in May. More details and fake photos showed up in July.
