BTW this is first Sony's incarnation on the handheld market and it's more successful than original GB - it means something. 2006 was much better than it's predecessor. This year will keep this positive trend too.

To say it's more successful then the original GB is a huge misconception. Week for week comparisons it is higher by a tiny percentage. But the GB success did not come in this point in it's life. If you look at it on a chart the things sales kept going up year after year, until 9 years in pokemon hits the pocket edition hits and its selling hundreds of thousands of units, hitting crazy numbers a decade after it launches. So it's success is not at all based on its moderate early years on the market, so to say the psp is more successful is to assume it too will have some insane uprising of sales seven years from now. And I don't think anyone sees that happening. The best the psp can hope to sell is 40% of the original gb userbase. Maybe it can possibly hit 50% of it. 50% would equal 57.5 million units.

 

I agree to a certain degree, but what is the difference is....can you see both Nintendo and Sony leaving their handhelds alone in the market place without a significant upgrade for another 5 or 6 years?   I don't!

I would be very surprised though if the PSP got near 57m units in it's lifespan.  I reckon it will bet closer to 40m.
