Sony: Earthquake Won't Effect NGP Release
So, Sony Computer Entertainment boss Jack Tretton tells Bloomberg that the, "NGP may be introduced in a single region this year instead of starting sales in Asia, Europe and the U.S. in time for the end-of-year holiday shopping season." And then Sony Japan contradicts him.

Japanese news source, Nikkei, has the line from HQ in that Sony, "doesn't expect a delay for now in the company's plan to release its new portable gaming machine, despite the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on March 11."

In fact, Sony Computer Entertainment spokesman Satoshi Fukuoka, "So far we see no impact from the quake on our launch plan."

He also tried to protect Tretton from any backlash stating that, "the Bloomberg report was 'wrong'."
