RETAILERS are expecting the launch of Sony’s PlayStation Portable (PSP) on September 1 to be an instant sellout because demand has already begun to outstrip supply.

More than 150,000 machines will be available in Britain on launch day, more than double the biggest launch in this country so far of a games console, thought to be the Nintendo DS.

Retailers including Dixons, HMV and Game are understood to have stopped taking pre-orders of the PSP for collection on the launch day.
