Sony Computer Entertainment has recently announced that 5.07 million PSP consoles have been shipped worldwide since the release of the hand-held. North America picked up the tab for more than half of those sold.Games wise, the PSP has so far shipped 11.2 million copies of all the 49 games in the PSP catalogue, 7.3 million to North America and 3.9 million to Japan and Asia, with Sony promising 150 titles on the shelves by the end of March.
As far as the PSP's UMD movies, the company's proprietary format has faired out pretty well in North America where 4.3 million units have been shipped. These figures do include the Spider-Man movie 2 movie included with the 1st PSP package.
In Japan only 400,000 UMD films have been sold, but since the market remains strong in the US and Canada Sony plans to up UMD production in the country from 3 million to 5 million per month.
Newly announced PSP titles include Exciting Pro Wrestling PSP (known as WWE SmackDown! Vs. RAW 2006 in the US and Europe) and SCE Japan title Baito Hell (Part-Time Hell). Other games on show at the PlayStation Summit event included titles from Tecmo, Bandai, Aquaplus, Konami, Spike, Namco, Atlus, Square-Enix and Capcom.
