It's interesting to see the PSP selling as good (fair) as it is, and yet it's software titles are doing so poorly. I believe the PSP has two titles that crossed the million mark, and one (GTA) is said to assist in exploiting the PSP for homebrew. The DS game sales are ridiculous and will continue to sell like hot cakes. I, myself, can't wait to get my hands on the Final Fantasy III remake.
