Handheld Shortage

As weeks went by, Nintendo and Sony are gearing up their new handheld systems for the holiday season, but there are a few problems that will be coming to the Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP.

Nintendo have announced that the Nintendo DS has gotten 2 million pre-orders in Japan, this large amount could make Nintendo cry with joy, but Nintendo will ship one million Nintendo DS units and that would make Nintendo cry with sorrow. But Nintendo announced that they will set up a manufacturing factory in China to speed up the process of the Nintendo DS, and Nintendo had raised their forecast one million to four million in Japan only because of the demand.

Sony annouced that the Sony PSP will only 200,000 units on the launch day, but 500,000 units will follow in December, but will that be enough for the Japan`s PSP lovers?

Now it seems that the Nintendo DS will be the victor over the Sony PSP, because of the Sony PSP lack of development time on the graphically enhanced handheld system, but anything can happen in this handheld war.
