Yea thats actually pretty good. I had a thread about this in the forums. Xbox sold about 27 million and gamecube sold about 21 million and it was out way longer than psp has been out now. So yeah people just like to make it seem worse than it is.

See, this is why Sony releases trick numbers. according to sony 22 million (actually 22.something million) units have been shipped, but that doesn't reflect on: the many defective units, unsold units, lost/stolen/destroyed units.

sounds good. i doubt there going to be a price cut but people buying psp's can only be good news.

Sales up during the holiday season?! Why I never!! Was anyone really surprised by this though? The same thing happens every year.

You guys have to think for second if Sony never had release a play station unit. Where would all the cool games be.

... on the saturn, then the n64, and Dreamcast. In my experience, most of the innovative, revolutionary, and cool games were on those three systems. Best 2D fighters, best 3D platformers, highest quality RPGs, native lightgun games, and wacky games (Seaman, Rez, etc). All on those systems.
