Prince of Persia hits gold status
Warner Bros confirms Terminator: Salvation for 2009
New David Jaffe title out no later than 2010UK sales charts show an astonishing drop off in software sales for Sony's PlayStation Portable this week. However, even though Sony had record lows, the company is still on pace to have a huge portable console sales year. In retrospect the waning numbers over the past two to three weeks could hurt bottom line dollars for the old PSP, but it's nothing that Sony cannot overcome.
PSU would speculate that the drop in sales was due to the new PSP Slim and Lite (or PSP-2000 in North America) getting ready to ship next week. With updated starter packs, slimmer shape, and new colors, the slim PSP should not only boost the sales back to normal, but also give Sony a new edge. The Slim and Lite version will surely help household penetration rate and in turn help game sales, peripheral sales, and Sony's profits.
Keep a watch on PSU for more information on the slimmer, lighter PSP come September 14th and of course breaking news from around the gaming industry.

no ones gonna buy a large bulky psp the week before the new ones coming out
ITS LOGIC
actually blachaze, Harlequin1987, PSP has tons of great games now. Yea, PSP had a slow start but PSP has been gaining momentum over the past year now. There are LOTS of good games coming out for PSP. I've got over 80 PSP games and a lot of them are great. So, b4 you guys open your mouth, please...get your facts straight.
ok calm down...
i want a psp lite!
psn id: gingo... no games plus new one gets released next week so sony shouldn't get too worried about this
Who care that the games are crap...you can watch movies on them! - So dont worry about games just publish movies as that is all that customers really want according to Sony.... LOL
Faizal5k IS RIGHT, FOR ME THE PSP IS A MUST HAVE, BECAUSE YOU ARE / (WILL BE) ABLE TO PLAY AAAAA GAMES LIKE:
METAL GEAR PORTABLE OPS
CRISIS CORE: FINAL FANTASY VII
GOD OF WAR: CHAINS OF OLYMPUS
KILLZONE: LIBERATION
FINAL FANTASY DISSIDIA
RATCHET & CLANK: SIZE MATTERS
DAXTER
SYPHON FILTER: DARK MIRROR
SYPHON FILTER: LOGAN´S SHADOW
AND OTHER GREAT GAMES!!!.....
Well i can tell you for a fact that one of the reasons sales are low is because there just aren't any PSP's to buy. I know, i just tried to buy two for my daughter and it is tougher than Vindalood mutton. Couple that with the fact that people would rather wait for the slim and that Sony has been phasing out the old,.
Well I have been in the market for a PSP..but decided to wait for the new one.. So I think it is only natural.
Thats my guess is everyone is holding out to buy the new slim i am even thought i already own one mines on its last breath and i want the white special edition one
