First Week PSP Sales Results

Posted by Zonk on from the trial-by-sales dept.

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.'"

    2:1? My ass. Show me numbers that display show that the PSP is outselling the DS by 2:1.

    That's because that's how many there were. Nintendo didn't have 1 mil the first week. They needed some of their produtction for the Japanese launch.

    Even though you are comparing apples and oranges here 600,000:513,000 is not 2:1.
