DS does not overshadow PSP - Reeves

Sony upbeat over handheld

David Reeves, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe boss, has acknowledged that Nintendo's DS handheld is doing very well - but he is adamant that this doesn't mean the PSP is failing.

"I think you can see the smile on our faces when we talk about what we're offering at this price and the games that are available," Reeves told UK business publication MCV.

He added that Sony are "very happy" with the PSP's performance, noting that the DS is positioned differently to the PlayStation Portable anyhow.

Reeves predicts an even brighter future as more publishers embrace the format.
