It sold more than 17 million and you conclude that America is not interested in it?  It sold almost the same as the Xbox 360 in America,  Is America not interested in the Xbox 360?

100 million? Like others here have said, not a chance. I'm going to peg it just under 75 million. I do think the PSPGo is going to hurt more than help, also.

I'm trying to figure out where the hell all these people who are saying negative things about the PSP Go not playing UMD's were when I was reading everywhere that people were tired of the UMD. Saying that it drains the battery to fast and how it makes it not truly portable.

Sony takes it out and now I'm reading everywhere that people are not happy with the decision. I don't get it. The 3000 series isn't going anywhere. UMD isn't going anywhere. The PSP Go IS NOT REPLACING THE CURRENT SETUP. If you don't want digital only there is still the 3000 series.

For the people saying the PSP Go doesn't play PSP games, you need to really check your facts. It does and will play every PSP game on the market. How many will be there at launch of the system? 100 games. On day 1. I don't know if that number includes what is currently being put on the Store, but that's still a good portion of PSP games.

For the people that will now say that the PSP Go doesn't have a UMD drive, there for it can't play my exsisting library of PSP games/the people who will say that "I will have to buy the games all over again and I'm not going to do that". Well Sony is apparently working on a way to allow you get digital copies of your UMD collection.

From what I can see is that the increase in the retail price is the only negative thing I can find about the system.

As for the topic, I don't see PSP reaching the 100 million unit mark. A more logical (or reasonable) range would be 65-80 million. While that's a big range, I honestly don't think anyone can truly predict or estimate how the PSP will do between now and when Sony pulls the plug on it. Another factor is we have no idea when Sony is going to discontinue their first handheld effort. We also don't have any idea what the plans are for the next year.

^Haters always find ways to complain. You can never find to please them.

Let's see. It was released at 05. It took 5 years to get near a 50 million. It'll take 5 more years if history repeats itself which won't happen. As it gets older it sells will start declineing. If slowly maybe. If fast no.At the rate its going now. Maybe in 5-7 more years

youre crazy to think itd pass 70. its been out five years and hasnt even reached 50.

It depends if you count the inevitable PSP phone Sony is going to release to compete with the iPhone. ;)

Leaving the phone aside, I think it may reach up to 80 millions, if the current support continues. However, I would not be surprised to see a PS2P sooner rather than later, let's say 2011. If Sony brings back PS2 BC to the PS3, and brings PS2 classics to the PSN, I'm expecting to see a PS2P with BC to PSOne, PS2 and PSP.

For me, the PSP Go is mostly about trying out a full digital distribution model.

Well it all depends on how will the public receive the PSP Go as a relaunch for the console, i think it might boost the sales of the console but it wont put it near DS numbers. It also depends how long will Sony Support it , and how long until they will release its successor.

I think it could do 75-80 milion optimistically if PSP Go gets sales in the West and its software starts selling.

No...

... 4 years?
