No freakin' way. Do you know how tough it is to reach the 100 million mark? Few consoles have done it, and those that did are legends. Pinnacles of the industry. Even the Gameboy Advance didn't reach 100 million, and that console was almost as big as the PS2 in America and Japan.

Well its not often we see the 50 million mark and the PSP is almost there. If it wasn't for the PSP Go I'd actually say its a possibility.

oh wait, your including the PSPGo's sales?? That's not really fair. It won't even play PSP games.

With PSPGo included my 60m above would be 80m tops.

You're lowballing the figure. It needs only 100 weeks at its current rate to sell that much (actually less). Now, that is about 2 years, but that's not that long in the grand course of things. 2 years ago, Super Mario Galaxy came out. So did Assasin's Creed, Call of Duty 4, and tons of other games we're still playing. And assuming the PSP sells for a long time (Sony will continue to support it), there's no reason it can't pass 60 million. However, I definitely agree with you. It ain't getting near 100 million.

That must be the funniest thing I've read on this site.

No, but that doesn't mean its lifetime sales won't be incredibly impressive for Sony's first venture into the handheld area. I'll peg it at 70 million personally.

I think between 60 and 70 million is a fair estimate. There's no chance it'll outsell the Game Boy Advance, and even the DS, which has been out an extra year and is much more popular, only just reached triple figures.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

More like 80 million. Depends how long Sony supports it, I guess. They said it passed 50 million back in February, 5 months later and VGC says 48 million. Shouldn't they fix that......?

I think it will do about 75 mill.
