Sony Computer Entertainment is ready for the long-awaited launch of its PSP (PlayStation Portable) device on Sunday in Japan, its chief technical officer says.
"I think everything is ready," Masa Chatani, CTO and corporate executive of SCEI, says in an interview. "Since we made the announcement of the price and launch date, we've gotten very positive and strong feedback from retailers and customers. Even Sony employees have provided very positive feedback and told us they are going to buy it. That's a very positive sign."
SCEI aims to have 200,000 PSPs available in Japan for its launch, which also marks Sony's entry into the handheld gaming sector. After the initial launch, it is planning to supply 100,000 units for each of the last three weeks of the year. The company's aim is to ship half a million units to Japanese retailers by the end of 2004.
Chatani wouldn't comment on whether the company will meet its shipment target for Sunday, but said it is unlikely to ship substantially fewer units than anticipated.
"We're still not launched yet," he says. "We are still manufacturing day-by-day. I haven't counted all the units."
