First Week PSP Sales Results
Gamespot has results from the first week of PSP sales. Unit sales have already cracked 600,000, generating in the neighborhood of $US 150 million for Sony. From the article: "Sony would only say that the device sold 'over half a million units' during its first 48 hours on the market, meaning it sold only approximately 100,000 units continent-wide over the next five days--at best. Still, Sony said the tally was enough to 'further validate PSP as the most anticipated product of 2005 and an industry-altering force.'"
The DS sold 513,000 units in its first week. The GBA sold 530,000. 600,000 is the best launch numbers for a portable ever.
What do Saddam Hussain and Little Miss Muffet have in common? They have Kurds in their Whey.
"I declare DS the victor, not out of fanboyism, but out of hard core numbers."
Wooooohahahahahaha. I'm having a great laugh now just knowing how much of a laugh I'll be having later on at this declaration. Yeah, people are gonna choose a portable with a gimmicky double-screen set-up over the portable that's so powerful it's hard to believe it's a portable, as well as having mod capability to surf the net, play movies, etc. Ahhh, I needed a good laugh.
Price will be $150 by X-mas, and we're going to see some sick games as well. This thing's gonna rock the portable world, finally breaking the monopoly Nintendo has had. And I don't even like Playstation.
