Yep... somewhere during the first half of 2010.... nice achievment

it really is, considering that NES is best selling Nintendo home console (not for long though)

it reall isn't, considering how small the market was then (compared to what it is now)

It is considering that it's a handheld that isn't made by Nintendo.

The market is big enough now to support two handhelds with both being successful.  The PSP didn't necessarily challenge Nintendo's dominance in the portable gaming space.  And Nick is correct, the videogame market was very small back in the 8bit days.

Even still, anything can be made into a milestone - and if outselling the NES is one... then good job, PSP.

No other handheld has held more than 5% marketshare against Nintendo, PSP marketshare > 30%, and considering how dominant the DS is (on its way to selling 250million LTD), that is quite a feat. It will outsell the GBA as well.
