It should be noted that the PSP releases went septemberish, marchish, septemberish, as opposed to PS3's November 11th, November 17th, March 23rd, which accounts for the PSPs second post launch bumb. However, you would expect something about 1/3 of he price to outsell something 3 times the price. There is also the consideration of people who bought a new PSP slim and lite, after the original, although I don't think there will be too many of them

The PSP's launch price ($250) was considered as outrageous as the PS3's launch price ($500/$600) when you compared it to the Nintendo DS ($150) and GBA ($130).


 It was not the $250 that was riduculous, it was the £180 for the UK, $360, and the same price as the Wii at launch. Anyway, it was still less than half, and the price has come down significantly since then
