Sony Computer Entertainment have told both Gamespot and Gamesindustry.biz that rumours of cuts in the production of the PSP were untrue.Japanese site Nikkei BP had claimed that PSP manufacturers were told to produce 18 million units over the course of the current business year, but Sony's annual financial report stated that only 12 million would be shipped, causing Nikkei BP to suggest chip shortages might be to blame.
Sony today dismissed Nikkei BP's report, saying there never was a figure higher than 12 million:
"I'm not sure where the 18 million claim came from," a Sony Computer Entertainment America rep told GameSpot. "We announced in the Sony earnings call that the fiscal year 2005 PSP shipment targets were 12 million units worldwide. We are still on target and there has been no reduction in forecast.
