Sony Plays the Numbers Game: 20 Million PSPs Shipped

Posted Jul 31, 2006 at 10:54AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: News, Opinions & Analysis Tags: Christmas, Japan, Sony

PSP Chart

The numbers have spoken. 20 million PSPs have been shipped out of Sony's factories to eagerly awaiting consumers. Hold your horses now, the operative word is shipped, not sold. However, considering that overstocking doesn't happen often to most Gaming companies, Sony's bigwigs must have figured that the shipment won't stay gathering dust on video retailer's shelves.

The PSP is enjoying more popularity in the American and European markets compared to the Asian market. And since the Nintendo DS is Japan's top seller, this has lead to a numbers rivalry between the two handhelds. I don't know about you, but I am seeing an underdog-come-from-behind-win for the PSP. The Christmas season is coming up, and will all the development the PSP homebrew scene is having, it won't be surprising to see people flocking stores to buy PSPs for their friends - maybe even for themselves.

The PSP has already won.

WHY???

20 MILLION (!!!) PSPs shipped without Resident Evil, Silent Hill, God Of War, FINAL FANTASY, Ace Combat, Dungeon Siege, Vice City Stories, Metal Gear SOLID, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Lumines II, Loco Roco, Tales Of..., PSOne emulator (7000+ games on the go HAS to be a reason to buy the PSP...) and TONS of other Sony games and other non-Sony ones.

PLUS - The shippings is what matters to Sony. Not the sales.

NOTE: Resident Evil and God of War may not be announced YET, but you that they WILL be. But you, DS fans, don't want to imagine what WILL happen if the come out... But even if they don't... You're finished...

# STFU — Guest 2006-07-31 12:47

Resident Evil, Silent Hill, God Of War, FINAL FANTASY, Ace Combat, Dungeon Siege, Vice City Stories, Metal Gear SOLID, Monster Hunter Freedom 2, Lumines II, Loco Roco

Ok... DS hasnt gotten Smash Bros DS, Jump Superstars (US), Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicals, Starcraft DS, Zelda, New Super Mario Bros 2, Nintendogs 2, Nintencats, Pokemon, Mario Kart DS 2, Mario 3 on 3, Zelda 4 Swords and about 100 more games + the offical DS SNES, and NES emulator...

# Hmm... — yoshinatsu 2006-07-31 12:52

You're pathetic... And REALLY REALLY jealous.

And do not order me to STFU in the PSP forums...

You COULD tell me that IF (I would never be) I was on the DS forums, flaming the DS.

But NO. NOT here... NOT now...

And when I say games, I mean games. Not bull*****. And no child toys (Yoshi's Island, Nintendogs, Pokemon, Mario etc.)

# both good — Guest 2006-07-31 12:52

I'm pretty sure the DS (lite) will keep the poleposition, and that's ok when you think about how long Nintendo is in the handheld market and that they made a good console.

On the other hand, the PSP did a great job so far as well. Sony is new on the handheld market and has the more expensive console - but shipped 20 million PSPs nevertheless!

Not to mention that the PSP came out in September in Europe, not at the same date as the DS did.

I'm happy for both consoles, all that fanboy talking is needless :)

# .. — Guest 2006-07-31 12:52

Yea resident evil already came out on DS, even RE4 on GC didn't help it, and u expect iot to help psp?? GoW isnt big enough to help psp as well. ps2's biggest franchise, GTA helped psp sell better then ds and DS still has zelda, FF3 AND pokemon games coming up that will PSP fanboys like u will feel it, PSP will be finished off instead.

# so retarted — Guest 2006-07-31 12:53

they shipped 20 million not sold, while nintendo ds and ds lite sold more than 25 million since launch, the psp is a joke when it comes to gaming, ds for the decisive win

# I'm no Nintendo fanboy, but... — Guest 2006-07-31 12:54

8 -

25 Million DS Sold.

Star Fox Command, Yoshi's Island 2, Final Fantasy III, Pokemon Diamond, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Kirby, Harvest Moon DS, MM ZX, PW: Ace Attorney, NDB, S2P to be released.

DS has the entire GBA backlog, and you don't have to pay for them all over again just to play them.

# @yoshinatsu — Guest 2006-07-31 12:57

You can try to call out on kiddy games not mattering, but fact is, these games sell and will matter when it comes to salesfigures compared to psp.

# what we need is good gameS! — Sr_Moska 2006-07-31 13:04

I want to see games like Residente evil, war of the monsters, metal gear solid, silent hill (coming soon), The PS1 emulator, Harvest moon and all those pretty cool games that would make the PSP the best handheld!

# ... — Guest 2006-07-31 13:10

I love my DS, has tons of great games and is an all round superb package. But I will also be considering a PSP in the next few months.

The main reason for this is movies on the large screen (from memory stick, not UMD!!!). But can anyone with experience on the GP2X tell me how the screen compares with PSP? It is cheaper after all

Unfortunately for Sony, most people I hear of (anecdotal evidence has no cred, I know) purchasing a PSP are doing so for movies, homebrew or ISOs. This can't be good for their profits, considering how much equipment is squeezed into the device. Mind you I can't talk, all my DS games run off Supercard

# Oops — yoshinatsu 2006-07-31 13:11

I forgot to mention Mortal Kombat and Gran Turismo (both coming).

NOTE: WHY NOT SOUL CALIBUR???????????????

# ds sales in japan — Guest 2006-07-31 13:16

it was announced today that nintendo has sold over 10 million ds lites in japan. they also sold that quanity faster than any other console or handheld has done in Japan ever. yet we get news that psp has shipped 20 million worldwide, i figured as much they are setting in all the walmarts in the area i live, there are almost as many of them not getting bought as there are 360's.

# OMG! — Guest 2006-07-31 13:21

OMG! DS HAS SOLD MORE THAN PSP, SO PSP FAILS!

Seriously, just because the DS has sold more than the PSP is no reason to say that the PSP is dead. Don't be fanboys.

# scds — Guest 2006-07-31 13:25

heh... quite fun trying to guess what will be out... Seems like it'll take some time before we'll see Starcraft DS tough... http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?bcscds

since when did nintendo fanboys care about the psp

# @24 — yoshinatsu 2006-07-31 13:46

That's what I was thinking, too...

Are you here to see PSP's homebrew and games because you're planning on buying one, DSers??? Or is it just "to see the newz"???

Because I don't even enter DS's QJ website OR forums.

And I'm not interested in your little GBA-cartridge homebrew thing or games. And I don't think any PSP fan around here, visits your little DS forums...

THEN WHY THE [F] ARE YOU HERE???

# Percentage of v1.5 PSPs — Guest 2006-07-31 13:55

So I wonder how many of those PSPs are firmware v1.5 out of the 20 million.

100K-200K? (I bet it's less than that.)

That is only a half a percent if it is 100K.

With that little bit of speculation, I have to laugh at people that think that Piracy is killing the PSP.

# And Yet... — Guest 2006-07-31 13:55

these psp defenders are the same ones saying how the Gamecube/Xbox/360 failed compared to the PS2.

and the ps3 owns all,even though it has nothing out.

# @9 — Guest 2006-07-31 13:55

Jump Superstars will not be released in the US.

# @28 — yoshinatsu 2006-07-31 14:01

Are you saying that the GameCube/XBox/X360 has not failed compared to the PS2???

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAA!!!

Man, you made my day, ninty-boy.

I said it once, and I'll say it again (and not just me).

YOU HAVE ALREADY FAILED.

# .. — Guest 2006-07-31 14:04

As much as psp i failing now, when it comes to sales figures, but taht doesn't seem to stop u psp fanboys to be *****y. It's called hypocrism, U call other systems a failure when it doesnt sell as well as ps2, yet when your favourite psp sells less, u act likes its not. Or call DS gamnes kiddy, yet love LocoRoco, which can be considered kiddy as well.

# what i'm saying is... — Guest 2006-07-31 14:09

Xbox failed to make money.

Gamecube made a profit...

all 3 beat the Dreamcast.

DS not only sales more systems but obviously sells more games.

the games are what they make money off of,PSP games don't sell well.

# @31 — yoshinatsu 2006-07-31 14:18

Did I mention that Loco Roco and Katamari are not childish???

I HATE THEM!!!

It's a disgrace for Sony to make success out of these games!!!

That's why I want the REAL top-of-the-top games (some of those I mentioned before) to come on our favourite PSP.

And they WILL. And when they do, adios muchachas.

# lol — Guest 2006-07-31 15:06

i bet sony is taking there time updating all there PSPs to 2.80

# heh — Guest 2006-07-31 15:14

Regardless of sales figures,I must say that I enjoy playing my PSP moreso than I do the DS. Sure,the DS is obviously the portable system of choice in Japan,but does that really mean anything? The only people I see playing the DS are either children under the age of 18 or a Nintendo-supporting Japanophile.

# To #25 yoshinatsu — Guest 2006-07-31 15:15

Hey bud, at first I thought you had a good argument earlier in this discussion when you mentioned some great games coming out for PSP, but then you opened your mouth again just to show your ignorance.

Many of the DS fans see this article because they are browsing on www.qj.net, not www.nds.qj.net. I recommend you browse using the main site, there are many interesting articles on a variety of topics to view.

On the subject of DS vs PSP, each device has its ups and downs, make your choice subjectively, not because you don't want to look like a kiddy.

Either:

A) Buy a PSP. It has some good games, great graphics, thriving homebrew scene, plays movies + mp3s

B) Buy a DS. Has lots of great, fun, original and innovative games

C) Buy both. Why be a fanboy when there is so much to offer on both sides?

D) Buy neither, save your money and spend it elsewhere

# PSP and DS not contest — Guest 2006-07-31 15:26

How can you compare the DS to the PSP. The DS is a childrens toy. I can sit in bed with my PSP and play a game, then go out to the internet, then watch a movie or tv show I downloaded, the listen to some MP3's. Can the DS do this....NO. I am not knocking the DS, I am sure it is great for kids, I would not give my kid a PSP, but me a 36 year old dad have one and love it. The DS out sells the PSP because parents will spend the $129 for something the kids can toss around.

# i choose C — Guest 2006-07-31 15:31

i bought a ds,psp,and a ds lite when they came out.

they have honestly two different markets and two different approaches,Nint endo just knows what to do,this DS was supposed to be the worst idea ever,nobody would ever buy it,the "3rd pillar",everyone was full of doubts,and then it came out...

unlike psp,DS followed up with games.

PSP followed up with nothing...

it's been almost 2 years,the excuses ran out and the "this thing will take off big time come holiday season" well what about the one that just passed? what about how great GTA will do? now we here "vice city will be the game" yet LCS wasn't?

i admit Mario 64 DS stunk,but the system and games were cheaper and thier quirkiness made up for the huge price tag of the psp and it's games...

which still sucks,good to see 2 year old games on the greatest hits line,we could have used that months ago...

unlike the ps2,flooding the handheld market with unoriginal waterdowned ports of ps2 games won't work...especially if some cost $50 while the console version is cheaper...

anyways,the Ps2/GBA/DS have the casual gamer market,the psp does not.

if kids games are why the DS sales then what's going on with the gamecube then?

mature games didn't save Sega who took the older/hardcore crowd with the genesis,did it?

did they flock to the sega cd? it was better than the snes and genesis...

did they take the 32x and saturn by storm?

the dreamcast is a homebrew dream come true,look how well that did...

bottomline is nintendo no matter wehat you say always makes a profit,and only has lost for one quarter.

# To #37 "PSP Rocks " — Guest 2006-07-31 15:35

"How can you compare the DS to the PSP. The DS is a childrens toy." - Apparantly, the average age of PSP owners is less than that of DS

"I can sit in bed with my PSP and play a game" So can DS

", then go out to the internet," So can DS, using Opera and touch screens

" then watch a movie or tv show I downloaded," So can DS, using Moonshell

" the listen to some MP3's." So can DS, with Moonshell once more

" Can the DS do this....NO." Yes

"I am not knocking the DS, I am sure it is great for kids, I would not give my kid a PSP, but me a 36 year old dad have one and love it. The DS out sells the PSP because parents will spend the $129 for something the kids can toss around." It's a shame that you are so self concious, you are missing out on a lot with the DS

# what? — Guest 2006-07-31 15:40

how about you have sex with you wife???

i'm sure she doesn't like seeing you rather play with a children's toy rather than her,an adult toy...

again the gamecube proves the "kids are buying it that's why it's successful" crap wrong...

penny-arcade,a site with an older crowd loves the DS...

# re — Guest 2006-07-31 16:33

actually cant you use cook books on the ds (for hosuewives) play brain trianing games (for nerds and intellectual wannabes), and train dogs (for girls) on the ds? thats spreading to other target audiences not just kids.

# ... — yoshinatsu 2006-07-31 16:47

Look little #40, Nintendo (and you, the Ninty-boyz) claim that the DS is cheap (and rocking), and the PSP is FREAKING expensive (and a child cannot afford a PSP, you say).

However, you (personally) mentioned that you can listen to MP3s, watch videos and surf the net...

Some months ago, you were the one (fanboys) FLAMING the PSP for being a "bad" console but just a good multimedia player. Now... you want to live this experience too... But no...

NOT CHEAP ANYMORE. Cause the DS costs about 140$+GBA-cartridge-thing-to-run-homebrew 100$+Opera 40+$...

Enjoy now, with your 280+$ DS.

Satisfied now?

Thank you.

# face it — lansingone 2006-07-31 17:20

thares not that big of a market yet for an adult aimed portible game system. nintendo has always had the market in the bag but only to the 6 to 13 market, and as i see it anyone older just stays clear of portibles. so when the psp came out the first thought for most was that it was another kids system, but i think slowly people are seeing it as a more muture portible. for me i have got only 2 portibles 1 an original gameboy (the one with the green LCD screen) when i was 8, and 2 a PSP. cuase after i got older the games for any gameboy just didin't feal that great anymore, and i hoped since i first saw the sized down PSone that thay would make a portible playstation. so what i think im getting at is that sony is not cutting into gameboy buys since thare mainly selling to people that would never buy a gameboy, and that market will only grow when more poeple see how much its not another gamboy

# To #43 yoshinatsu — Guest 2006-07-31 17:23

Haha, settle down, don't take things personally. I think you may have me confused with somebody else. I have never said that the PSP was expensive. When you look at the amount of tech built into the small package, it's quite a good deal.

Nor have I claimed that PSP is a bad console. I have always liked it and intend to pick one up one day.

Nor am I a fanboy. Heres a list of consoles that I have had since a kid: NES, Sega Master System II, Sega MegaDrive, SNES, Gameboy, PS1, N64, PS2, Xbox, NDSlite. Consoles I intend to pick up in the near future: PSP, Xbox360, Wii. If it seems like I'm a Nintendo fanboy, it is probably due to the fact that I think they are playing all the right cards at the moment, while Sony seems to be fumbling. I think my sentiments are echoed throughout all forums and blogs around the world.

To everyone else, I apologise for getting caught up in this flame war. To those that get a little too emotional in these discussions, please sit back and take a nap.

# Uh... You mistook me too... — yoshinatsu 2006-07-31 17:33

Well, I suppose you're right about Sony's fumbling thing, but first, I didn't say it was personal, and second, I didn't call YOU fanboy. You seem to be a good gamer, with personal judgement and point of view, even if you're with Nintendo.

However, the PSP hasn't shown its full potential.

Many things will be unveiled for both consoles.

But it's just my opinion that the PSP has more to offer than the DS (in the near and the long future).

Then that makes me feel very special and unique. But really, I think a greater number have 1.5's. I went to different game stores today with my g/f trying to find a used PSP with downgrade capabilities but they were all sold out everywhere. I guess 1.5'ing is a bit popular in my area. Regardless of the number of 1.5'ers, piracy can't kill the PSP when the iso's take forever to download and they won't work 100% correctly. $40 may be expensive to many people but I bought GTA:LCS on its release day. There's plenty people willing to buy.

# Dont Care — Guest 2006-07-31 19:46

I dont realy care that the ds is out selling to the psp, as long as I get good games to keep me playing I am set. Playstation will make other new Portable System because games are to entertain and not an investment so don't compare the Ps3 to the 360 or the wii to the PS3 just be happy you have these new systems to entertain your self with.

# whhy DS sells good — Guest 2006-07-31 20:11

Of course DS is selling more than the PSP, it appeals to a more active target market. This not only includes small children but women and people new to the gaming world. I mean, a device with a touchscreen would seem much more user-friendly than a hardcore-looking games machine. The

DS's cheap price tag also contributes to its good sales. I mean, if you're going to buy a kid something to stop them from crying, why not buy the cheapest?

# PSP is the best handheld — Guest 2006-07-31 22:27

DS is for dumb kiddies who can't afford a PSP.

# .. — Guest 2006-07-31 23:17

Yea and psp is for annoying teens that think they're mature but really arent, ie. people such as nabiblibobli and yoshinatsu. People that can't find proper rational reasons but have to resort to namecalling etc. Get a gf man instead of w.anking to pr0n on your psp.

# Sales bad, christmas goes to Wii — Guest 2006-07-31 23:43

As stated, if not some "superhit" game titles come out, the sales will be even worse with time. Now that Sony hits hard times with resellers withdrawing UMD movies completely, the PS3 and other stuff sucking up money, it will be hard to compete. Homebrew? Wait for Sony heading to firmware 3.0 and doing everything in newly shipped PSP's to prevent homebrew from running even drawing modchips useless (new hardware).

Additionally, the (saved) christmas money goes to one of the new consoles (Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, ...) not the PSP. With the Wii to sell at a prize level which even challenges the PSP and all the hype around the Wii, it is more likely that the Wii is going to be the "big hit".

# z0mg — Guest 2006-08-01 00:39

I agree with yoshinatsu comments here.

Anyways have you ever thought how could Sonys first handheld PSP selling so much, while Nintendo has already made handhelds since GameBoy series?

The Ds may have sold more units currently, but as the best games will come out for Psp, I'm quite sure Psp will take the lead.

As for getting Ps1 emulator, the Ds has only to show off it's Gba slot.

Both are great consoles, but both of them have it's good and bad sides.

# The West — Guest 2006-08-01 02:19

What people forget is that almost the complete difference between the DS and the PSP is Japan. In the West, the two are selling almost equally well. Also, while the DS is selling more software units , the average price per unit is also lower.

Actual software revenue in the U.S. for June was 77% of that of the DS, and that was the month that the Lite was released.

I don't know what people are talking about when they say DS games are cheaper. Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow cost me 42.99 plus tax. And Valkyrie Profile Lenneth cost me 44.99 plus tax. That is like three bucks difference. And we all know that Silent Hill Origins and Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops are gonna sell big time. Face it those are two great franchises that you will never see on the DS. It's a fact, look it up check google.

# Clearing up a few things — TheProfessor 2006-08-01 06:35

* Handheld market is a younger market (due to Nintendo owning the market for most of it's lifespan).

* DSLite sells incredibly well in Japan due to a current Fad (soduko, brain training)

* PSP has broaden the market introducing older gamers into handhelds. those folks who never touched a gameboy.

* Based on time in market PSP is beating out the DS in both EU and the US by big numbers.

* Many DSLites bought are from the same customers who bought a DS. PSP owners have no need to re-buy one because it was built cool and sexy the first time.

* The DS and its games are cheaper than the PSP and it's games.

* DS has more hit games than the PSP

* DS expanding the market with new types of games.

* PSP expanding the market with new functionality.

* DS future is completely reliant on Nintendo's ability to create games. Third parties do poorly on the system. Nintendo must continue to release AAA games.

* With better games, there is no doubt the PSP would have left the DS in the dust (in the west at least)

* PSP has yet to have a must have game in Japan. Monster Hunter being the top game currently. Hopefully FF7CC might change this.

* PSP is not, I repeat is not doing poorly in Japan. Is only that the DSLite is doing astronomically well. The PSP sells very well in Japan.

* When the brain training craze is over, Nintendo's must scramble to create the next craze (people bore easy).

* PSP does have a casual gamer market. Actually most hardcore gamers don't take the handheld market seriously. \

* PSP library is getting much much better and in the near future It should get it's own Halo or GTA, for now we'll just wait and see.

* DS games sell better in the US because of PSP homebrew. PSP hardcore gamers don't want to upgrade and many just pirate the games

I also see the PSP wining out in the long run. I see this being played out like the PS vs. N64. The PSP just offers so much more (out of the box) than the DS to so many more people that Sony's true challenge is making people aware. They also need their download service (Connect) to come out with a bang and I assume it will once the PS3 comes around. Price is also a concern (currently it's at $199 and sometimes lower for the core version). If the PSP can drop their price to $149 this Christmas, It will dominate the holiday season. GPS, camera, Movie and music downloads, and game downloads should make this gadget the must have gadget of the year. Well there is my screwed up analysis. Flame on. I have to admit I don't own a DSLite and most of my opinions come from facts I have read about the system. I do own a PSP but wouldn't call myself a fanboy but then again most fanboys wouldn't =P.

# Well Said TheProfessor — Guest 2006-08-01 06:44

You are absolutely right. Very Nice analysis of the PSP VS DS situation.

# silly fanboys — Guest 2006-08-01 07:42

both systems are good....case closed on that...the psp wont go away they said that about the first xbox...but back to what made me comment..lol which is a laugh just like sony 20mill shipped...and dumbass nintendo saying 25 million sold ...true to that but they are counting both systems and i bet alot those who bought the ds light werent first time buyers but someone upgrading to the smaller version so really comparing both is like comparing both sales of the ps2 .......the small and big version....im sure you can count it as a sale ...but was it bought to replace a machine or did it attrack a new gamer....hmm ponder that...both sides have there lil thing to try boost how well the system is doing both are in a sense mis leading if you think about it...in the end both systems are here to stay last time i knew the psp had about 6 million or so sold thats been awhile back...and last time i checked they arent collection to much dust on store shelves...soon the ds lite sales will die off as soon as everyone uprades tto the smaller one ..then new comers and alike will boost sales after that...bottom line is each system serves its purpse...they are to differnt to compare....ones aimed more for younger crowd...the other at the more hardcore people

# Listen up people... — Guest 2006-08-01 11:28

Aww come on, if you were clever enough you'd let this all clear from your heads and just think about yourself for one freaking second. What would you want! Dont think about sales figures.

Those that are serious value-for-money and graphics critics would definitely go for the powerful PSP system.

Those that are much less hardcore and would rather go for short bursts of gameplay and live classic characters would go for the NDS.

In my opinion (neither from a 'fanboy' as many people call it or from a blabbering idiot who can't spot the pros and cons of both consoles) i would pick the PSP. And i will explain just why...

1. I enjoy games actually WORTH their money. Games in my opinion are really over priced and i would like games that i need to spend a breathtaking number of hours on. (Examples of games worth their money are GTA:LCS, DAXTER, MGA2, MKDS and SM64DS.) Im sorry to say that the PSP has realeased many more of this type of game whereas the DS churns out a poor blocky Need for Speed that lasts um...2 days MAX.

2.The PSP has a terrifiying amount of potential. We are already promised an official PSone emulator capable of playing these games at full speed which kicks the crap outta any GBA game im sorry to say and many will agree.

3. It is a power motherf***er of a console and considering it has graphics that that kick the crap out of old PS2 agmes and compete with the present ones. Trust me, play Daxter or Metal Gear Acid 2 and you will unload your bowels in your pants.

And that i think summerises it. Its nearly midnight and ive spent nearly 6 minutes of my life responding to the most useless topic of my life. Whats the point of debating which console is better? Buy both i say.

Time to grab myself a glass of chilling lemonade...lovely.

Oh and Mr.1st post who posted #39, not only are you the master at pranks but i have never laughed so much in my entire life at you. Post #39 and he claims he got 1st post. *Shakes head*, you need mental help.

Meaning the two systems can't be compaired nor should be. There is no handheld war psp does it's thing and the ds does thiers. The only people who seem to not wander around the other qj forums seem to be playstation people, but why is that? Mainly because all they will and ever get is playstation... now how can this be a true opinion if we already think the others are bunk? So if you want true unadulturated biased opinions come on down to the psp/ps3 forums!! hooray
