PSP, PS2 Sales Skyrocket

Spurred by the scarcity of the PlayStation 3, hungry consumers are buying all the PSP and PS2 units they can get their hands on. The PSP's sales have shot up by 280 percent over last year, while the PS2 was up a respectable 115 percent. From the Eurogamer article: "Additionally, sales of first-party software are also up, according to SCEA. PS2 game sales rose by 120.6 per cent, with PSP software sales increasing by almost 168 per cent. Sony has yet to publish figures for exactly how many PlayStation 3 units have been sold in North America since the console launched there on 17th November."

Re:Not totally anti-Sony

First of all, I deal with a lot of HTML so actually I did read right over your sarcasm close tag - actually I think it was my internal mental validator never applying it since you neglected to open the tag in the first place... :-)

Secondly, you can see the Anti-Zonk contingent (as you put it) are actually quite reasonable - when Zonk is. I have no problem with Zonk mostly, just when he gets in those wierd anti-Sony moods and proceeds to spin the hell out of anything negative he can find while looking over most positive news like this. Note here however there still is a dig against the PS3 with the scarcity remark.
