probably not
If SONY lets PSP live long till 10 years then its possible. But the question is... will SONY willing to?
end of core gaming days prediction:

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

No. Hardware revisions were proved useless outside Japan, so that will not give it a needed boost. No software is boosting hardware.
Unless we enter a depression, it will have to be announced within the next 2 years.
I dont think the psp will hold its 12-15million unit momentum until 2015 though, it would need to sell atleast 8 million units yearly until 2015 to hit 100 million, I think by the end of 09, it should be around 58 million.
No it won't reach 100 million, not even get close. As someone said in here Sony is probably in worse position it was before they released the PSP, there was tons of hype and the Sony brand was untouchable before then. The only exception might be Japan where they have turned it around a bit and it's doing pretty good
Just look at the software sales for a second.
Last week in NA DS had 58 games in the top 200, PSP had 2, 2!!! Even worse is 1 of them is bundled (wait, is madden bundled too?). DS had 9x the software sales with half the userbase
In others the DS has 26 games in the top 100 while PSP has 1 with DS accounting for over 10x the software sales.
If software doesn't sell, people won't make games for it even if it does have a large userbase. The only bright spot is in Japan, and that has only happened recently.
currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X
It wont hit 100 million, but who cares. It's already doubled the combined sales of all non nintendo portables listed on wikipedia

75 million is a valid point to aim for

if sony price cut the psp,yeah it can touch the 100 mil unites in 3,4,limite 5 years
I'm a huge PSP fan, but I don't think it will! I can see the PSP ending in the 60M range, would be a real success!

I think lots of Playstation fans bought into that idea, and most were disappointed by the turnout. With the brand a lot weaker, I don't think many people will be as eager to jump in play beyond, and might view it as a repeat of what the PSP was. I think the PSP2 has to have some radical changes over the PSP if it is to ever succeed. |
Fixed.
