It always gets a few people dreaming on. Thanks for those numbers.
Cherry picking of statistics, favorite tool of the fanboy.

Sounds fishy. Wouldn't people get suspicious?

No, they just do it over and over until rational people give up.

Software sales for the PSP are simply atrocious. Check out for some comparisons: http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=&console=PSP&publisher=&sort=Total
For a fairer comparison, have a look at the DS (released same time as PSP):
The top shipping DS title (Nintendogs) has shipped (almost) the same number of units as ALL the 1m+ PSP shippers put together. The PS2 has almost 200(!) titles that shipped 1m+ units. (and for interest, Nintendogs has shipped more units that the top recorded PS2 title! which is San Andreas...)

Are you serious? You're comparing worldwide GC total software sales with japanese total PSP software sales, also it's just wrong to compare a console with a handheld.

It's not entirely true. I think PSP is an offer also for people who don't want to pay for games at all. They bougth the system only because it's pirated. Only Sony makes money on them. They shouldn't be perceive as potential game buyers. I'm pretty sure all fair PSP owners buy as much games as users of other systems. If PSP pirated proof we will have same figures for software. Hardware would be at 15 million though. Probably you would feel a bit better with 4:1 attach ratio but it would change nothing. Expect lack of an extra cash for Sony for extra 8 million units (also memory sticks etc.) sold.
Wipeout , NFS : MW , Tekken DR , MGS PO , have all sold over 1 million , and they are near or far from those attaches on VGcharts ... I wouldent trust it 100% , not even far ... So no , software sales are far from beeing as bad as the public might think . Also , just as a reminder : EA made more than 3 times as much profit on the PSP than on the DS last year ...

So you're saying VGC, NPD, Chart-track, M-Create, Famitsu, etc. are all wrong and you're right even though you haven't presented anything more than cherry picked and anecdotal data.
Ummm , actually I dont need to . I bet many people are reading regulary sites like Gamespot or IGN , and who does so , can easily confirm my afirmation . You know there are some people who live outside a box , which at this point is called VGCharts . I like the iste a lot , and it does gives people a fairly good impression of how the market stands , but still it has many flaws . And its not their fault , its a free site , with no revenues , so its forgivable ...
