So , what you mean is that hardware means actually nothing . So it doesnt matters that a console had sold just one million units , untill I can sell 8 million copys of a game . Do you get my point ? With rising hardware sales , in a small measure , like it or not software will sell batter to ... how batter ? I cant tell , but seeing this final weeks , boosted by the redesign , software sales where pretty good for the PSP . If software sales would be actually so atrocious as you would all think , than 3rd party support would be 0 . To give you an example : Sonic Rivals for the PSP did an extremly bad 40k in its opening week ... but surprise , the game had now passed 600k ... how is that possible ? And as soon as the small hype died down , Sega had announced SR2 ... a game that will probably have a bad opening week , but than it will have long legs , and it will become eventually profitable to the company .

Also , these ridiculous 500k/1000k sales first week came only when the Nintendo DS and Wii got their fames , because untill then many million selling PS1/2 games had simillary bad opening weeks ...
