Forums - Sales - How long until PSP outsells the NES?

PSP is now 10 million units sold behind NES. When will it pass 61 million and outsell Nintendo Entertaiment System?



Around the Network

Maybe February 2010? I don't really have the time to check, what is the average PSP WW as of now?



Yep... somewhere during the first half of 2010.... nice achievment



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Early/mid 2010. April maybe?



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

it really is, considering that NES is best selling Nintendo home console (not for long though)



It's just over 10 million units away... in the past year it has sold just over 11 million.

So if it repeats last year it will be August 2010 when it manages it.

When is PSPGo due?

2008 was PSP's weak year, because Sony was focusing more on PS3

it reall isn't, considering how small the market was then (compared to what it is now)

It is considering that it's a handheld that isn't made by Nintendo.

The market is big enough now to support two handhelds with both being successful.  The PSP didn't necessarily challenge Nintendo's dominance in the portable gaming space.  And Nick is correct, the videogame market was very small back in the 8bit days.

Even still, anything can be made into a milestone - and if outselling the NES is one... then good job, PSP.
