PSP Sales Fall Short
According to a survey conducted by Credit Suisse First Boston, Sony’s PSP didn’t quite hit the million mark they were expecting in the first week of U.S. sales. Credit Suisse said that Sony likely sold between 600,000 to 700,000 of the units, which means that 300,000 to 400,000 of the units are still sitting on U.S. shelves. Meanwhile stories in Canada, which had severely limited shipments of the units in order to accommodate the “strong” U.S. demand, had to hand out rain checks to their customers.
Meanwhile, according to Famitsu, the DS has outsold the PSP in Japan by more than 70 percent and Nintendo is expecting to have shipped over 6 million DS units by end of March.
Remember, no portable gaming device has ever beaten Nintendo. Can the PSP make it?
LOL! PSP win the Handheld war? I highly doubt it. DS will definately win.
Posted by Simman at April 6, 2005 6:28 PMIt'd be a bit sad to see a handheld go, but for crap sake's. One at a time.
Oh well, one side has to win. Though I hate Nintendo, I don't much care for the PSP either. Plus the DS had me with Castlevania DS.
PSP should offer up something worthwhile soon or they're screwed.
You want to know what somewhat influenced my opinion? That moron PSP designer guy that expects us to all "adapt" to the square button being sticky. What made it worse is when he went on and on about how it's the most beautiful thing in the world and that he intentionally designed it that way.
Nutcase? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. This isn't where I got that info, but it was pretty funny anyway.
