Can the PSP outsell the GBA in total sales?

Probably not, I see it tapering off around 65 million.

THat's still quite an achievement, though, as the closest non-Nintendo handheld was the Game Gear at around 11 million.

But how much was it bought for games? I don't buy the piracy argument so much as it just seems that people instead bought it as just another take on the iPod. I don't think that the number of pirates are that great, its just the number of people who actually buy it for games is that small. Its quite a decent little portable media player or so I hear. I may be wrong but I see it as more a Zune/Ipod competitor rather than a DS competitor.

I bought one for the games, but I didn't like many of them. I bought Crisis Core, and I never finished it. Now I only use it to listen to music.

 

I'm waiting for KH Birth by Sleep.

I think Twistedpixel has a fair point.  I mean, Sony isn't doing the PSP's image any favours by having so many systems bundled with UMD movies instead of games.  I remember when I bought the PSP I used to have (on launch day) it came with Spider-Man 2 on UMD and no game.

Regardless, though, the PSP will be seen as a success for Sony.  I do think that if they wanna make another handheld, they'll have to focus on the games if they want people to upgrade, though.
