To think that over 30 million PSP’s are floating out there somewhere is quite a thought. The resent jump in hardware sales is most likely due to the resent release of Final Fantasy: Crisis Core and God of War: Chains of Olympus. The sales figures will jump even more when Monster Hunter 2nd G gets released worldwide. I did however expect Japan to have the majority of PSP console sales but to my surprise America came out as the victor with 12 million sales versus the 8 million from Japan.

Sony recently released an updated version of the PSP which has accelerated sales. They could certainly do it again in the future as sales slow down. They are also tying in better ways to view media on the device which can add sales in the future. Who knows if they will even have to release a totally new portable console that replaces the PSP entirely. If they don't, the lifetime sales could certainly hit 60 million...but I do think the console stocks have been drifting upward uncontrollably.
