7 Game Boy Advance (GBA) 40.39 21.31 16.96 2.85 81.51
9 PlayStation Portable (PSP) 21.39 24.14 19.96 15.26 80.75

Will Sony achieve the impossible and have the PSP be the 1st handheld gaming system to outsell a Nintendo handheld??

So far this year the PSP sales are just shy of 250k

This has been obvious for a while and its already out sold the GBC.

A more interesting question would be 360 vs PSP.

Yea. Though it's not really that impressive of a milestone when in the end Sony does in 10 years what Nintendid in 4.

It's kinda impressing that Sony still supports their portable console's

Um GBA launched in 01 and was discontinued in 08... seems like more than 4 years unless Im getting really bad at maths

GBC is a part of the Game Boy line. That would be like saying it outsold the DSi

Sony supports their handhelds? I know it's friday, but isn't it a bit too early to be eating spicy pokeblocks?

PSP has already outsold one of the Gameboy versions. Dunno why GB and GBC are lumped together on wiki because they're not the same generation. Might aswell throw in GBA too.

Sigh excuses again. PSP was able to stay 10 years on the market, GBA only 4, Nintendo killed it becuz it wasnt selling anymore(like the Wii, good first few years and then runs out of steam).

When I've read 'can Sony do the impossible' I first thought the topic is about Sony to be profitable again...
