"Months"? What do they mean "Months"?

Sony Gears Up for U.S. PlayStation Portable Launch

By Ben Berkowitz

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - There is no doubt that Sony Corp. will have a hit on its hands in the PlayStation Portable video game and media player which launches next week -- and there is no doubt the industry needs it.

Demand is so high for the PSP in the United States that the unit has become virtually unavailable in Japan and Sony has postponed the European launch by months to boost U.S. supply. The paperback-book sized unit launches March 24 in North America.

"It's all about how many of these devices Sony can actually crank out," said Mark Argento, a games analyst at ThinkEquity Partners.
