PSP outsells top dog DS and Wii, with Devil May Cry 4 incoming

There has been a lot of criticism that the PSP has been loosing steam but things are starting to look up for the system. Right now the PSP has managed top sales and new great games coming out for the system, it’s future looks bright.

I currently own the fat PSP and love it. I have an 8GB memory stick I put music and TV shows for use on the go. It’s truly a multimedia device allowing me to play blockbuster games like Metal Gear Portable OPs and God of War Chains of Olympus as well.

Currently I am playing through Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, a great follow up or prelude to the famed Final Fantasy VII. However lately, it can be argued the system has been getting very stale.

It looks like the dry spell is over now with Worth Playing reporting that Devil May Cry 4(DMC4) has been confirmed to be coming to the PSP very soon. Devil May Cry 4 is a blockbuster game that sold millions on the Xbox 360 and PS3 so you can bet this game will sell well on the PSP as well.

On the heel of this DMC4 news, there is also news that the PSP has out sold the DS and the Wii in Japan yet again. According to After Dawn, the PSP sold around 58,861 outselling the Wii and DS which sold 48,884 and 48,480 units respectively.

The PSP is killing over in Japan, I guess the main driver is Monster Hunter an extremely popular game over in Japan. With good news on the horizon for the PSP maybe the US sales will pick up as well.

The PSP sales have been decent in the US but nothing like over in Japan (relatively speaking). You can bet once DMC4 comes out for the PSP I will be picking a copy up myself.
