Wow, thats a big increase. Sweet for Sony and the PSP

well , i see Halo 3 hasn't affect the 360 sales in japan ... PS3 still outsells it by

10 : 1

Lets just hope once MGS4 and FFXIII comes out, it'll bring the sales up on the PS3!

I can see PS3 overselling all the consoles in Japan before it happens here in the States.

"well , i see Halo 3 hasn't affect the 360 sales in japan ... PS3 still outsells it by 10 : 1"

Of course, do you think the Japanese eat the hype like we do here in the States?  Halo 3 is a good game, but nothing revolutionary like the media wants you to believe.  I'd rather play Lair and Heavenly Sword than yet another 360 shooter.  Bioshock is better.

i dont have a psp:(

Japan we commend you. This marks the beginning of this generations Sony takeover

psn id: gingo... psp hasn't outsold ds in months so this is great news for the psp

This is nice, and the PS3 is also selling far more than Xbox 360. This is good!

Great new, the question is can the PSP keep it up once the hype of Crisis Core goes down ??

Dammm Dammmm and Dammmmmm

yea halo 3 didtnt even shake the sales

Its about time, that DS is such a crappy handheld anyways

Thats crazy. After the first week PSP reached just short of 100K all thanks to the 77K crisis core PSP bundles that was release. I think about 500K copies of Crisis Core was sold as well, As the crisis core bundle was a limited edition and was sold out in the first week, for the second week my guess was that the sales of PSP would be 50K-80K. I think thats what I wrote Somewhere on here. . 280K for this week gone wow the sales rose dramatically again. Near 380K in 2 weeks what will the sales for next week be?

I hope this is mostly new costomers and not current owners replacing their old with the new, very much like nearly every DS owner did when DS lite came out. You have to knock about 15 mill sales of the DS the find how many DS owners they're are.

Gee, I hope one of those special pack bundles comes to Australia. Hopefully, the special edition FFVII:CC PSP lite...in time for Christmas or early next year!

good news all around, the psp is doing really well, and halo 3 didnt seem to change japans minds about the xbox 360.

dont forget monster hunter 2 as the japaneese love that game and that would of certainly increased sales.

Gla to hear people recognize the system atleast for the one game, now if they'd just take notice of all the other games. Ultimately I still dont think the PSP wil beat the DS or GBA but holding a respectable secondplace in a market that has routinly dumped any other competitor is a remarkable accomplishment, One that should have been easier for such a cool device, now if they'd just find away to enable straight AVI playback...

its not hard to see why even if final fantasy and mgs helped. the major reason i think is because of the psp remake its still new and naturally people will want it more.

And the wii still outsells ps3 2.5:1.Well its better than 6:1

I don't care if sony beat Nintendo on sale or not, as long they keep support good software I be happy

W00T!! That's almost 200:1 for the Xbox, or something!! .There are over 200k differnce, between 1st and 2nd. Go Sony, one day, i'm going to get a PSP myself... when i get myself some money...

i have a ps3 and im happy because im getting it in 2 hours :) i got CONAN,Colin Mcra Dirt,Resistance:Fall oof man, FIFA 08,AND I GOT A psp,xbox 360,ps2,ps1,gamecube,wii,xbox,game boy micro,game boy advance,game boy colour and a nintendo ds.

I just got my PSP Piano Black Slim model this past Thursday and wow!!!  I had the original PSP some years back and sold it because I wasn't to happy with it along with the games that were out at the time.  I must say I am so happy with this new PSP Slim model in every way.  It's a nice side piece to my PS3.  I have Jeanne D'Arc that I'm currently playing, and looking forward to FF: Crisis Core, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles.  PS3/PSP, it's in the box!!!

wow thats good news to hear the PSP sales have spiked like that. If games like FF:CC which is a prequel to FF7 and MG:PO do have something to do with the sales then I can't wait to see what FF13 and MGS4 do for the PS3 sales let alone done the later years a possible remake of FF7

360 are poo.
