PSP Smashes Sales Records in the UK

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the gaming-is-here-to-stay dept.

404Ender writes "According to recent numbers the PSP has sold more than 185,000 units since launching September 1. This blows the previous record away, which happened to be set by the Nintendo DS. This is wonderful news for fans of the Sony handheld, and it certainly quiets many of the naysayers who have been pointing to the success of the DS sales compared to the PSP. Does this solidify Sony's position in the handheld market with a firm foot in the door?"

      Hard to believe, since it left out the most important feature: SIDETALKING.

    Why kind sir, you must be mad, because they'd have to make games for the PSP in the first place!

    No personal discount on the PSP for Sony employees? Or sony really pays you little, you happen to be a musician with a new record deal?
