Playstation 3 & PSP Hardware Sales Saw An Increase Over Last Year.

Sales are up - for the PSP and PS3 that is. The fiscal report, which covers the period from March 31st 2008 - March 31st 2009 detailed a rise of 300,000 PSPs over last year and 940,000 PS3s. Good news for Sony considering the PSP barely had any software and the PS3 is by far the most expensive system on the market.

The PS2 did see a 42% drop to 7.91 million consoles sold, but I'm sure Sony anticipate the PS2's slow fade into obscurity over the next couple of years. It's served them more than well enough.

Pats on the back all around at Sony we reckon.
