PSP Hits 10 Million Units

Gamasutra is reporting that Sony's PSP Handheld has hit 10 Million units shipped. From the article: "Broken down into regions, Asia (including Japan) has shipped 3 million units, North America 4.47 million, and Europe and other PAL regions 2.53 million. However, Sony's use of statistics for shipped units can be a little confusing to some, since these figures do vary significantly to the amount of units thus far sold in stores. Nonetheless, citing shipment numbers for consoles is common practice within the game industry, and is carried out by all three major console manufacturers."

    You should play Advance Wars, and the DS hasn't maxed out. Even better games like Mario Kart DS are showing up, and the games are just getting better.

    Depending on the genre you like, there are some good ones on the way.

    Coming Soon:

    • Mario Kart DS
    • Animal Crossing DS
    • Metroid Hunters

    Rumored but not confirmed:

    • Starcraft
    • Diablo

    Of course, none of these may be your cup of tea. But for those of us who are Card Carrying Nintendo Fanboys, there's quite a bit to look forward to.

    Now give me Super Smash Bros. DS, dammit...

    I picked up Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright a week ago.

    I haven't even played Phoenix Wright yet because Trauma Center is so great! It really feels like you're performing surgery, the level of tension is really well done. You feel like you have to do everything quickly and well, and weird things keep happening to throw you off.

    It's very linear, and they tell you every procedure to use, so you don't have to use any actual creativity, but it's still a lot of fun.

    The game really shows what the stylus is good for, though - the game wouldn't be the same without it. It really gives me hope for the Revolution games.
