Ok, I was just checking out the latest game news and saw this story at GameSpot, here's what interested me:
The PSP was another success story for Sony. The company shipped 2.09 million units of the flashy handheld in North America and Japan
This is in the period from March 31st to June 30th
Now take a look at the numbers qouted here:
The Japanese giant unveiled the figures at the PlayStation Summit in Tokyo, revealing that 2.33 million units have been shipped to Japan and Asia, while 2.74 million have been sold to the US and Canada.
Those numbers don't seem to jive to me from both articles that were published within a week of each other.
PSP was launched only a couple days before the end of the quarter in the US. Have PSP sales been that white hot over the past 3 weeks and change? I would have expected Sony to be yelling that the war is over already if this is the case.
I also thought this was good:
The company's proprietary UMD movie format has done particularly well in North America, where 4.3 million units have shipped. This figure includes the 1 million copies of Spider-Man 2 which were given away with the first batch of PSP consoles.
Here are the links to the articles, someone explain, RCM is tired!
