A nice showing, but we're gonna need some more game releases soon if PSP is to keep up any sort of momentum.

Heh, the NeoGeo and Genesis emulators will keep me occupied for a long time, when i get one and they're sorted properly.

Yep and this is the news that gets overshadowed by the DS news in Japan. Were seeing the PSP kick butt in the US.

Though it's only been six months since the release of the PSP in Japan, its games have been selling poorly. For the week of May 23 to 29, only four PSP games remain in the complete top 50 sales ranking charts of Media Create and Dengeki Online, and none cracked the top 20. The lackluster sales are a result of few major releases this spring.

from what i've seen localy (in the USA), UMD movies are selling well. game sales appear to be stalling.

Is the second number the total sales so far? Didn't DS sell a few millions already in Japan?
PSP is playing catching up i see...

Total so far in Japan are:

DS - 2,399,227
