Forums - Sales Discussion - PSP has passed GBA in Japan!

According Media Create

Congrats to PSP! Really who would have thought at the start of this gen that you will lose handheld race in Japan despite selling over 15 million. This gen really has been weird. =P



Around the Network

Who would have thought that both new handhelds would be able to do this?!?  The handheld market is a monster.  Good timing too, because the 3DS is about to crush everything.

Nice work PSP.



I lol'ed at the picture!



Great for psp indeed, But to be fair gba was cut short by the ds releasing just 3 years after it

That's good point but you must also remember that GBA had no competition at all. PSP has had DS and rising smartphone game market.

Cool... I like the PSP a lot.

Of course a large part of that is based on the fact that handhelds are the only ones who seem to get collectable card game releases that are any good.

I like card games, but I ain't spending craptons of money on the real thing.

The difference is about 1 million. The record could be broken by the next 3 months.
