PSP Light & Slim sells 250k+ units in three days in Japan

[Zenien]

Enterbrain have announced that the PSP-2000 has sold 250,702 units in its first three days on the market. Impressive, but more so when you consider that counts only the standalone units: another 75,943 Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core bundles were also shifted, giving us a total of 326,645.

[BatMatt]

that's rather impressive

 

[Timstuff]

Not shabby at all. I've got my eyes on getting a white one at some point.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I'm amazed that the Playstation Portable is selling more than the Nintendo DS for once!

I might sell my PSP along with a double sized battery, 512 + 32 MB memory sticks and Tomb Raider: Legend (which is god awful but I got it for free). Then get a Slim...

 

[SupahSaiyangirl]

come on psp even if you cant beat the ds atleast trail it by a small gap instead of the huge enormous one you've had for so long!!! yay!!!

 

[hippy fascist]

this is all down to crisis core

psp has no decent games which is why it's been whupped by the DS for so long

once again sony concentrated on forcing a format and ignored the gaming aspect

 

[BatMatt]

no decent games? on the contrary my friend

 

[hippy fascist]

such as...?

 

[hippie_hunter]

Daxter
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops

 

[hippy fascist]

Liberty city stories was awful

[Majin Boo]

[BatMatt]

and although Hippie isn't going to like this, Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror and I'm sure it's upcoming sequel

F**k Syphon Filter

 

[StrainedEyes]

Syphon Filter was awesome, 2nd best PSP game behind MGSPO

Japan is crazy, they latch onto anything new. Especially if it's by Sony.

A ton.

Select PSP and over 200 results. There are 103 games with a ranking over 70 percent. This isn’t a slightly generous interpretation of the definition of ‘decent’.

 

[Havok83]

yeah that PSP has no games hasnt been a valid argument in quite some time. Maybe when it was first released but its built up quite a library since and no they arent all simply just ports of PS2 titles anymore

 

[Zenien]

I know people get sick of hearing about Killzone (it needs a better name) but Liberation is honestly a very good PSP game, with great online multiplayer.

 

[Timstuff]

The simple fact of the matter is that PSP is more popular than Xbox 360, lol.

 

[hippy fascist]

whereas PSP, Xbox 360, The Wii, The DS and the ps2 are all more popular than the ps3
