Sony PSP Sales Way Up

WeAz writes "According to an article via Yahoo's news service, Sony is reporting that they have sold 800,000 PSP units since the system's release last month. Demand for the system is so strong that there's already a shortage arising. To combat this, Sony 'would increase monthly PSP production by 100,000 units to one million in April, as it prepared to launch the product in the United States and Europe.' Ken Kutaragi, Sony Computer Entertainment's CEO said that monthly production of the PSP will eventually rise to 3 million units."

    Kutaragi said he wanted to give the PSP communication and web-browsing functions so it could compete against multi-function mobile phone handsets.

    Sounds like another N-Gage to me...

    "Sony PSP Sales" are "Way Up" because that's the general gist of what Sony wants people to believe by way of the press, so why not just come out and say it for them? Let the press do the lying so Sony doesn't have to.

    After all, thinking for yourself is harder than letting other people think for you!

    Let's all hope that NOBODY knows that while the Nintendo DS shipped only 10 days before the PSP in Japan, it has sold more than twice as units there than Sony has shipped anywhere. Japan clearly prefers the Nintendo DS over the PSP, according to _sales_.
