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.

Its actually funny, that Japan, the most PSP-friendly region is the one that brings down the PSP attach ratio to horrible levels...
It could do better in the US and EU to, no doubt but a ~ 4:1 attach ratio is not that bad... now a 2:1... ouch :(
EDIT: wtf... that reports shows that PSP software shipment had reached 100 million at the end of Q1 07... why the hell did we get the report at the beginning of this year?... thats strange... If those numbers are trully correct, then we might see PSP software shipment reach 200 million in the first half of next year... wow, Im confused... anyone has any data regarding this years shipment?
