TWRoO: I think its a bit more... when Sony stated that the PSP had shiped 100 million software in the US it was at 40 million and ~ 16-17 million in Japan. ioi stated that PSP software sales are extremly similar to those in the US, so I wouldent be suprised if software shipment in other are at 50-60 million at this point ;)

How many sit on shelves? Well probably a lot, but shipment shouldent be bad at all, especially seeing how games like FIFA 08/09 and PES 08 and probaly 09 did/will do great ;)

Overall I dont think that total worldwide PSP shipment wouldent be more then 140 million from which 120 are actually sold, but it could be also less... but seeing that software sales still have a fairly rising sales trend yoy I do bealive that untill the end of 08 we could see Sony announcing 160 million shipped UMD games ;)

Yes you are probably right, as that would only give it a ~2 attach ratio.

From here: http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/data/bizdatapspsoft_e.html they produced (not sold to retail, but with SW there isn't too much difference) 38 million a year and a half ago, I think they have probably shipped more like 60 million to the "others" region, which would give an attach ratio of about 4... which is the same as France has for these figures.
