"A total of 4.1 million PSP games were sold in 2008, compared to 5.6 million during 2007"

Well, that is 9.7 million games in two years in the UK. Lifetime sales for PSP in "Others" on vgchartz is 7.3 million + later added in numbers, which is probably around 4 million - 5 million. I think that shows how PSP software is better then most on this site give it credit for.

 

No it just means there is data is unavailable for many titles, FOR ALL SYSTEMS, not just the PSP. It's just not realistically possible to track every title.

But we are realistically close to software shipments on other platforms. I think 4 - 5 million might be a bit low, because of the huge GTA sales, 10 million is probably more likely, but I think the PSP sales in the UK for 2005 and 2006 easily make up that number. Meaning 1 country = our whole Others data, I don't think any platform can compare to that.

 

Software Totals:
Note that software figures are largely incomplete.

It's not complete, so you shouldn't be making any comparisons based on that data for anything. All the systems have huge chunks of data missing, in fact the DS has over 65 million unit disparity between shipment numbers and sales in others alone, but you don't see me ever bringing that up.
