Last year was great for the Sony PSP with the launch of a new model PSP 2000, the PSP’s sales also surpassed the Nintendo DS and lots of people have been using the Playstation Portable as a multimedia device, but 2008 is said to bring some amazing games which is where the Nintendo DS has been winning…08 could change that.
You can watch a video below of a Sony PSP Interview at CES 2008, where they talk about how well the PSP did in 2007 and what’s coming in this next year.
We will be seeing games like Cris Core Final Fantasy Vii help increase sales massively in 2008, a lot of people now use the PSP for music as well and the success of the Playstation Portable is because it’s good at so many different tasks and not just gaming.
Skype on the Sony PSP will help sell many more units and make it the all time biggest portable multimedia device, features will include PSP to PSP phone calls for free, PSP to computer calls are free, PSP to Skype mobile is free and you also can have SkypeOut and SkypeIn.
Watch the interview video below for more details.

“.. PSP’s sales also surpassed the Nintendo DS”
When did that happen? Dude do some research, the PSP hasn’t even come close to catching up the sales of the DS. Not the weekly, sales, not the monthly sales, and certainly not the overall sales.

The psp did overtake the nds for a few weeks in Japan, however the statement within the article appears to suggest that the 2007 sales of psp hardware outsold nds hardware in japan, which is very misleading. While I do agree that the psp has made a remarkable rally in the japanese market hardware wise, the nds still outsold the psp by a 2 to 1 margin. 7,167,372 for the nds vs. 3,069,465 for the psp according to Media Create.
I smell PSP fanboy-ism in the article. The PSP only outsold the DS during the time a high-end franchise release on the system, but ONLY lasts during those times. If you need an awesome success story on a good system, please look at the following:

I sure don’t think the PSP has sold more than the lifetime of the PS2 in Japan like the DS has. Correct your misleading ‘facts’.
moron the psp hasnt even come close to outselling the nds.
and as for a great year i agree 250 games were released in 2006 and only 5 were actually great in 2007 300 games were released with 7 biegn good.
and to the person who wrote this article learn your facts and state them more clearly.
and yes i own a psp thats how i know the #of crap on the system
its propaganda
how can it be a great year for psp when they have had to release a new version of the same crappy handheld? if the first one even came close to the DS, it wouldnt have been needed
@Daniel
That is not relevant; passing the DS in sales for a week or two in a span of years is but a spec of dust in a desert. The implication of “weekly sales” is what is “expected” and what happens on the “average week”.
