Wow @ PSP. I know that it's because of the new Kingdom Hearts (to some degree at least), but those are phenomenal numbers. Also interested to see how PS3/Wii will shape up as they level off.

There was also a Special Edition PSP 3000 w/KH bundle as well, which helped boost the PSP. The bundle was sold out at most of the places I looked.

I'm aware of that. I wasn't sure how PSP sold last week though, so I wasn't sure how much could be attributed to KH:BBS launch. Perhaps 60-70k was because of KH:BBS?

Well it seems like pretty much all of the systems fell by ~50% or so from their holiday boost in last weeks numbers, so around 70k-75k seems like a reasonable estimate. Though some of that boost might not have been the bundles, just people buying KH and a PSP separately.(if they wanted a different color/didn't like the design, etc.)

IGN has been suggesting lately that Sony should take the plug out of the PSP without taking in consideration that some Japanese third-party's are actually making a lot money with it.

As someone else here said (I can't remember who) you can't spell IGNorant, without IGN.
Sure, the PSP isn't as successful as the DS, but it's still raking in the money for Sony and for game developers.

Same week in 2009 (week ending Jan 11 2009)

Wii - 42,843
PS3 - 29,240
DS - 107,251
PSP - 66,489
360 - 9,444

Wii up (close to 50%), PS3 up (more than 50%), DS flat (slightly lower), PSP way up (Thanks KH) and 360 down. Pretty healthy sales compared to last year.

Bamboleo : you failed ...
