Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) expects shipments of the recently launched PlayStation Portable (PSP) to equal those of its PlayStation 2 console this year at 12 million units each, the company said Wednesday. The prediction is the first from SCEI regarding PSP shipments for this year and came as its parent company, Sony Corp., announced its full-year financial results. Those results showed shipments of the PSP totaled 3 million units in the period from its launch in Japan in December until the end of March. That included PSPs shipped in the Japanese market and the U.S. market, where it was launched in late March, and are in line with SCEI's original predictions. Source: IDG
