We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Originally, Sony planned to release the PlayStation Vita on Dec. 3. Instead, the company is pushing it out on Dec. 17.

In the upcoming issue of Japanese game magazine Famitsu, Sony Computer Entertainment honcho Hiroshi Kawano revealed that Sony had planned to launch the Vita on Dec. 3, but moved it back in order to have more units at launch.

Good news for those hoping to pick one up this Dec. Pre-orders for the PlayStation Vita start next month in Japan. Expect lines. Long ones.
