And babelfish crazy translation, complete with a little guesswork to make it sound a little better :|

Apology Concerning the shortage of the Sony PSP (PlayStation Portable):

We would like to truly thank those who purchased our corporation's product.

On December 12, 2004, the PSP launched to many favourable comments from our customers, to which we offer our deepest appreciation.

The customers have certain expectations for us as a corporation, and so every week we continue to ship our commodity - yet the shortage of our goods still continued.

In order so that the PSP can be delivered to the customer who is waiting to receive it in a quick, pleasurable fashion, we have exhausted all our power. However, we apologize for the fact that our efforts have not yet satisfied demands and caused great annoyance in the hearts of the consumers.

We hope you would grant us the understanding required so that we can continue to get our product into the hands of consumers... (and will increase shipments when able.)

Hehe, I don't really know if this is right according to babelfish + guesswork

So when's Sony going to post the apology to gigadent for the PSP that he never used not living up to his expectations? :lol :lol :lol

Lies, they said that they needed all their production powers for the Pstwo of which they can make money. Therefor the costly PSP can't be produced in big quantities.....

Also this creates hypes..... If sony just made some cool games for PSP and stop doing stupid things like this, everything would be fine.

That apology is being reserved for their big New Years announcement.

If this has any bearing on the US launch, Sony may have shot themselves in the foot

Maybe shipments in Japan have been a bit short because they are ramping up production for the NA/Euro launches?

Or the fact it happened during the system's first Holiday shopping period. Dun, dun, DUNNNNNN....
