Sony Playstation Vita handheld will miss Christmas in US and Europe

How can this be? Sony’s new handheld console already passed through the FCC and was even leaked on a UK Blockbuster flyer that stated an October release date.

Why would Sony be content to miss out on all that festive trade? We have no idea.
