PSP Slim hits 580k in Japan
That's really quite a lot.
Updated on
Sony has sold 580,000 units of the new PlayStation Portable in Japan, the company said today.
That includes the 77,777 special edition units made to celebrate the launch of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which launched a week in advance of the standalone unit's debut.
As previously reported, the unit - affectionately known as PSP Slim - marched past the 300,000 unit total in just a handful of days.
The new total - 580,000 - was achieved within two weeks of the main launch on 20th September, and Sony says it eclipses the total achieved in an equivalent sales period following the original PSP's launch in December 2004.
Sony has yet to release figures for PSP Slim's sales in Europe, where it launched on 14th September.
