PSP has no support, and hasn't had for several years, in the place it's currently selling so much (Europe)

Is it still used as a machine to download ROM's on? That could still, and most likely, be a thing.

I'm thinking the same thing. Because software sales aren't great.

Not really. The Wii U will get big first party games. The Vita.... not so much.

I LOVE ICELAND!

Those PSP numbers are a long way from reliable.

Considering Sony expects 5m PSV and PSP combined over 12 months, 2.5m sold over 4 of the lowest selling months seems incredibly high.

Currently, VGChartz has the PSP as the best selling console in the world outside of North America, Japan and UK, France and Germany. Seems very hard to believe

The forecast of 5m sales for PSP+Vita is for the new fiscal year beginning April 1st 2013

The 2.5m figure is from Jan 1st 2013 to current date of data.

The PSP+Vita forecast likely doesn't account for a planned price cut. A higher forecast figure and by observing the current trend of sales would give a future price cut away.

Anyway, interesting numbers which ever way you look at it.
