See... Everybody Loves the PSP!
Once again the PlayStation Portable is proving to be a force to be reckoned with in the Japanese market. According to statistics shown over on PSPFanboy.com, the PSP has almost more sales then all three current generation consoles, the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo DS COMBINED! Though those are only one weeks worth of sales, it is a significant achievement for a handheld that is approaching it’s fourth birthday.
Here are the sales numbers for the week of October 20th – October 26th:
- 60,467 — PSP
- 24,292 — Wii
- 22,965 — DS Lite
- 7,844 — Xbox 360
- 6,962 — PS2
- 3,931 — PS3
It will be interesting to see how the numbers will be skewed when the Nintndo DSi’s sales start appearing on the chart. With the ongoing Monster Hunter fad going in Japan, I think that the PlayStation Portable has a legitamate chance to stand up to the DSi. What do you think?
