Gamers in China will have to wait a little longer for the Sony PlayStation 4 to arrive.

This is after the tech giant made an official statement saying there will be a delay in the sale of the 4th model of the popular gaming console. For those who wonder what the possible reason is for this setback, the gaming company hasn't revealed any specifics.

The worst part for avid gamers in China is that PS4 isn't the only console that's been delayed. According to The Wall Street Journal, the release of the hand-held Sony PlayStation Vita has been reset for a later date. Again, there was no reason issued by Sony for these delays.

The PS4 was supposed to have been released in China on Jan. 11.

So when will the PS4 and PS Vita be made available to Chinese gamers who have long been waiting for the gaming consoles? Sony's computer entertainment unit said they haven't come up with a new schedule as to when they'll start selling the consoles in China.

Reuters did mention that an unnamed source claims these setbacks were partly due to Chinese authorities.
