PSP vs. DS (1st Week Sales Numbers)

CNN Money:

The Nintendo DS, which many say the PSP competes with, sold 500,000 units in its first seven days on the market in North America. The DS, however, went on sale during the 2004 holiday season which is typically a much busier sales period.

PSP has come close to shipping its target 1 million units in North America, with a range of 475,000 to 575,000 sold to date in the U.S. with roughly another 250,000 to 300,000 in the channel," wrote McNealy, who said he still believes Sony will sell 4.5 million to 5.5 million PSPs in North America this calendar year.

Considering the fact that the PSP launched outside of holiday season, I'd say they did better in sales with a range from 475,000 to 575,000.

They would've sold more around the holiday season. But around March... only people with jobs could buy it, where as Christmas, kids and adults alike can get it for presents and such.
