The PSP might pass the Nintendo 64, but the Super Nintendo, and the Nintendo? I don't know. Maybe... Probably not, though. Portables always usually sell more than consoles, so you can't really compare the PSP to the other guys. It has yet to pass a single Nintendo portable. Never-the-less, it has still creamed most of the competition, yet, some state that it is still a failure, because of the lack of games, and when it is compared to the best of the best. PSP kicks ass, but it will never defeat a Nintendo portable.

I posted in a thread a few months ago that if the PSP sold about 250k ww a week, it would sell about 47 million systems by the end of 2010. It obviously had a burst of sales during the holidays, so it could reach 49-50 million by then, and certainly exceed that after.

Since the SNES and Gameboy Color sold that many systems, the PSP would eventually outsell them. Even though the GBC obviously took less time, it would still be a major accomplishment for the PSP to sell that high, after it had fallen from grace.
