NPD: PSP sales up 38% from last year

Filed under: News

February's NPD figures were released last night, and it looks like Sony's handheld has done respectably well. PS sold through 243,115 PSP hardware units in February. Sony reminds us that this represents a "year-over-year increase of 38%."

Once again, it shows the lasting sales effects of the redesigned PSP. Since the introduction of the PSP-2000, Sony's handheld has been performing remarkably well. Add to that the launch of Patapon and Wipeout Pulse and it should be no surprise that PSP sales were strong in February.

As good as February's numbers were, we can't wait to see March's figures. With the release of both God of War: Chains of Olympus and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII on the handheld, we're bound to see a significant bump in hardware sales.
