PSP Hits 10 Million Units

Posted by Zonk on from the great-screen-poor-games dept.

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."

    Anyone who buys a PSP when, for just $10 more they could get a Nintendo DS and a portable DVD player is obviously not a smart consumer. The Nintendo DS has award-winning games like Super Mario 64 and Tamagotchi and the portable DVD player can play all the DVD+Rs that you can burn. It's win-win.
