Good points people. Especially Deguello, great read.
PSP sold about 7-7.5 million last year (3 million US via NPD, 1.8 million Japan via MC, + estimated 2.5-3 mil for Europe and others). It's selling about the same this year so far in Japan+US, but that's only with it's biggest game ever in Japan, and it's first ever price drop in the US. It's falling fast in Europe based on the software charts, soI doubt it's ahead year on year worldwide.
It's currently at 21 million for 2.5 years on the market. It sold only 7-7.5 million last year, after selling 13.5 million in it's first year. Even if it stabilises this year and sells almost the same as last year, that only brings it to about 24-25 million at the end of 2007, and it's all downhill from there.
PSP would be lucky to beat the N64 or Genesis at this point IMO. I think it will just crack 30 million and then die.
EDIT: Also, the methodology in the article is wrong. Even based on their own assumptions (PSP and DS keep selling at the same rate), that puts the DS at 160 million and the PSP at 53 million, as the DS sold 26 million last year and the PSP sold 7 million. I don't know where the hell they pulled their PSP figure from, probabaly the year 2004.
Of course, this is highly flawed as well, as loser consoles tend to die quicker.
