Enterbrain figures the PSP slim has sold 250,702 times in its first three days in Japan...and that's just in stand-alone PSPs. When you add in bundles and special edition versions of the handheld console, the total soars up to over 300,000 units.
the PSP is super versatile. i bet a lot of nongamers are buying it because it can play videos, music, and store photos (as well as other things). i dont blame them considering their other option is the iCRAP, which is a complete wasted piece of crappy noob plastic. so its no wonder it is
