Some great-looking PSP screens

[OB1]

Game Gear? The Game Gear only shipped 1.78 million units in Japan during its entire lifespan, and as of February 20th roughly 1 million PSP units have shipped, and have been selling out like mad.

PSP hardware has been outselling DS hardware most weeks since its Japanese launch, and Sony has promised something over a million units shipped for the U.S. launch this month, which will most certainly sell out quickly. Just the combined U.S. and Japanese hardware figures within 18 months time will likely match the total units shipped wordwide of the Game Gear's entire run (about 8.65 million). So comparing the PSP to the Game Gear is like comparing the PS2 to the Dreamcast.

Anyone who stills thinks that the PSP is just another Game Gear or Wonderswan is completely ignorant of these numbers.
