One Million PSP Lites in Japan

[wraggster]

A little over two months following its release, and the PSP-2000 has reached a major shipment milestone. Sony Computer Entertainment announced today that as of 11/22, the redesigned portable has crossed the one million units shipped mark in Japan.

The original PSP took two weeks longer to reach the mark, according to Sony.

Since its official Japanese release on 9/20 (the one million units in today's announcement does not include sales from the limited edition Crisis Core pack, released a week earlier), the PSP-2000 has been a hot item on the weekly sales charts, beaten only by the DS Lite. December 13 will see the release of a Deep Red color variation and a 1seg tuner bundle pack.

Finally, it was a long time and a hard job for Sony :rofl:

Well good for SONY. And good for all of us who are fans of the PSP. This should ensure prolonged healthy lifespan of this little handheld we've come to love so much.

Here in the USA, the Christmas rush has kicked off with Black Friday and today Cyber Monday and every type of PSP Slim is sold out at all 6 surrounding Best Buy stores. I imagine its the same with most other electronics stores as well.

People definitely want their Slim & Lite PSP under the Christmas tree this year and that is very nice to see.
