Can the PSP outsell the GBA in total sales?

nope, piracy killed the poor thing a long time ago.

Uh, GBA piracy was just as if not more prevalent.  And it was far, far easier to do (tiny romsizes, quickly emulated, tons of flashcards on market, etc).

And GBA piracy actually hurt hardware sales too, you didn't even need a GBA to play GBA games. 

The software sales/attach ratios don't reflect that.

Again, probably due to GBA being fully emulated within it's first six months.  To pirate PSP games, you still need a PSP.

If not for piracy, GBA hardware sales would have been even higher.  Inversely, one could argue PSP (software) piracy inflated it's hardware sales.

 

Of course, attach ratio has never been anywhere near a logical measure for piracy.  Wii and PS3 have similar attach ratios, does that mean their amount of piracy is similar?
