With Sony having officially revealed the successor to the PlayStation Portable, codenamed the “Next Generation Portable”, the handheld’s lifetime has finally come to a close. Sony has now revealed how many gamers have bought the portable since its release in 2005.
Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America announced:
When PSP first launched in 2005 in North America it changed the way people thought of portable gaming and raised expectations in regards to the variety and quality of games users expected to access while on the go.
