Game fans stood in lines through a chilly Tokyo night to be among the first in the world to get their hands on Sony's PlayStation Portable, the consumer electronics giant's first handheld game machine.
About 200,000 of the sleek black devices that play movies, music and games, went on sale early Sunday morning as part of a drive by Sony to loosen rival Nintendo's iron grip on the market for handheld game machines.
The PlayStation Portable (PSP), at a discounted launch price of 19,800 yen ($189), went on sale 10 days after the successful launch of Nintendo DS, a game machine the size of a paperback book with a wireless connection and two screens, one of which is touch-sensitive and works with a pen-like device.
Nintendo launched DS in the United States on Nov. 21 and in Japan on Dec. 2, in time for the holiday spending rush, and has raised its forecast of shipments this year by 40 percent to 2.8 million units.
Sony has said it will ship just 500,000 units in Japan by the end of the year and it will miss the holiday season in the United States and Europe, where a launch is expected early next year.
Some U.S. gamers are not willing to wait. Last week, a PSP with one game was bid at $560 on eBay's auction Web site--the price rising even though it was a Japanese-language version and the seller did not yet have it in hand.
Analysts say both will sell well this holiday season, bringing the biggest buzz to the sector since Sony launched its PlayStation 2 game console in 2000, although Nintendo's much greater production capacity will give it an initial edge in sales. Nintendo can ship more than five times as many units as Sony.
Excitement over PlayStation Portable, with high-quality graphics normally only seen on a full game console, has been building for months with the Japanese press eagerly comparing it with the rival Nintendo DS, made by the company that brought the world games featuring characters Pokemon, Mario and Donkey Kong.
"With the DS you can only play games, but with the PSP you can also play music and movies. There's added value there," said Asuka Senaga, a 24-year-old in the line outside an electronics retailer on Saturday night.
