Nintendo's DS has sold more then double Sony's PSP in Japan, and the two are neck-and-neck in the USA, but what about Europe? Well, we've just got our hands on the tabulated figures for all of Europe, statistics that demonstrate how each handheld is selling through the major territories.

The latest numbers make for some interesting reading. Although the PSP was released later and at a higher price point, it has made up some ground, yet has some way to go before it matches the DS for sales, with the Nintendo handheld retaining a lead of more then one million. Encouragingly, both handhelds have established enough of a userbase to be here for quite some time.

Anyway, the figures:

PSP (released: September 2005)

* UK: 795,000
* France: 500,000
* Germany: 350,000
* Spain: 295,000
* Other Regions: 500,000

PSP total: 2,440,000

Nintendo DS (released: March 2005)

* United Kingdom: 1,000,000
* France: 750,000
* Germany: 520,000
* Spain: 425,000
* Other Regions: 1,005,000

DS total: 3,700,000

Should be an interesting topic.

Wow. I didn't expect it to have a lead like that.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

That's pretty impressive for Nintendo, assuming it's true.

If you're going to say that, why not post the real numbers?

Come on guys. These are teh old. Posted a few weeks back. Looks like some websites have just got round to them.

And PSP is over 1 million in the UK now.

Those numbers are surprisingly similar to some guesses ioi made in a post here long ago;

I was going to post this last night but then checked the source and decided against it; if you checked the comments section on those news in that website you see some criticism about where he got these numbers....
