PSP's wi-fi ability will be limited from launch, Nintendo plan an X-box style full scale service.

This Chinese year.

I know.
But does 'this year' mean late December? And let PSP have worldwide Wi-Fi domintation for 3 months?

Sony have let Ninty have a head start by postponing PSP launch over here so long, they should get their asses in gear and make the most of it.

Wi-Fi launches worldwide this year. That's all Nintendo have said.

They better sort out Wi-Fi by then, it'll mean a lot.

That's true, I'm not denying that. A new console certainly would do that. But it gives Nintendo time and room to counter-act. Launching it in November wouldn't give Nintendo a chance.

Now Nintendo can release some christmas games and new DS colours away from the launch of the PSP.

Maybe their plan was to make a wave of early buyers, who would get one anyway, and they can flog games to at christmas,
plus a wave of console buyers who were a bit slower on the uptake.

Or perhaps they just want to leave themselves room to slide, create a little more anticipation and stuff...


Mind you, the PSP should have a strong enough launch line up too, I think sony are capable of carrying hype for a little longer than Nintendo, maybe even continuing to build it up, after launch has happened.
