Re: Where do you play your PSP?
No no no, the reason the PSP hasn't sold out is because Sony shipped a surplus amount to the NA therefore delaying the EURO launch.
Sony had originally intended 500,000 units to NA. It sold that much in the first 2 days, and according to numbers is already reaching close to 750,000.
If Sony had gone with their original launch plan, PSP's would be sold out everywhere, however wouldn't be selling a lot of them. This was a good move on their part.
Not being a sell out isn't a bad thing. It just means they had a lot more units to satisfy the demand. If they originally shipped out 500,000 to NA.... anybody who didn't have a pre-order would be finished.
But they shipped 1,000,000 and thats about 350,000 extra units as of today for off-the shelf purchasing.
So the surplus of units to the NA caused good sales, and encouraged even more considering it wasn't sold out.
Hence.... sites saying the PSP did well but was not a spectacular sell out.
I guaruntee they will not sell out in EURO either, only because they will be shipping out more than what they planned for Euro.... from 500,000 units to 1,000,000..... so everyone will have their share... pre-order or not.
