Sony says they shipped 4 million PS3, or so says this website:

Can anyone translate and confirm either way the accuracy and legitimacy of the source. Thanks.
edit: How much PS3 have they actually sold LTD based on media create and NPD numbers?

Ehhh...I think what kitchenmotors was getting at with his comment was that you could probably use MH's total as at least some kind of yardstick for what the audience base is on PSP. Obviously, it has exceeded the original already, so it's already a spectacular success, but I can't see it doing anything other than falling far from this week.
Should make over a million no problem, though. 1.2-1.3 seems reasonable, though it could be a little lower or a little higher. Should be very interesting to see how this has affected hardware sales, too.
edit: chibcicylist: In Japan? or Worldwide? I'd say it's perfectly reasonable to assume they've shipped about that many. Though if they have, I don't think they've even sold three quarters of it. (After checking, it appears not even half - Somehow I think their shipped numbers are closer to 3 mill than 4, but I have no basis for that other than intuition)
edit le deuxieme: A quick estimate would say about 935,000 in the US, and 656,968 in Japan according to Media Create.

Actually, after all that... you were right:jarrod said:

Namco says 1 million, Koei says 1 million.売り上げ目標としましてはバンダイナムコゲームスさんで100万、うちで100万、合計200万本を目指してまいります(笑」と、かなりの自信を見せた。
Total 2 million.
I can't tell if the article is joking about the total part, but there you have it.

Well, we made it to 9 pages... Probably might manage another one on the back of leaked numbers later.
MC threads are getting so predictable (in a good way) - it's like an old friend who always brings up the same topics whenever you visit.

I've been avoiding the last few pages of this thread, but this is a factual inaccuracy.Oh My Gawd said:
US January 2006, 4 weeks: 180K, or 45K/week
US January 2007, 5 weeks: 211K, or 42K/week
Japan 2006, first 7 weeks: 337,683
Japan 2007, first 7 weeks: 337,618
Though PSP should start leading over 2006 thanks to MHP2.

I'm happy you brought that up, because as I scanned the IGN article about Space Station Tycoon for the Wii, I just found something interesting:
So for those always talking about the nonexistence of nongames and nongamers, we have further proof you're wrong.

Well, I think that many people here have lost the sense of reality with MHP2. What I mean is that, in the last 2 years, the PSP's software sold really horrible, particulary in Japan.
The difference with the United States was that the PSP has had here his killer-app, i.e. GTA: Liberty City Stories.
What happened in Japan right now ? The PSP has finally found his first true killer-app: Monster Hunter Portable II (you can include the first one if you want, but it hasn't had the big effect of the second one).
Howewer, this doesn't mean that now the PSP is on track to become the leader or stupid statements like that. The DS is too ahead in both software and hardware in the entire world and all we can say is that MHP2 remind us in some ways "Ocarina of Time" for the N64.
And this is only one of the last signals that the PSP is not a failure at all, but it is the decline of the Playstation's brand and this is obviuos, because every empire decline sooner or later. Nothing dominates and lives forever.
Now, I think that you can agree with me if I say that no big software will come for the PSP in next months, but I'm sure that we'll probably see another big peaks like MHP2, exactly like the N64 has had a lot of games with great sales. So yeah, I expect some big annoncementes in the future, exactly like the N64. Capcom is, in some ways, the Rareware of the PSP.
The difference, perhaps, is that the first party line-up for the PSP is very very poor in comparison to the N64 and even the Gamecube, and this can be explained easily because Sony hasn't traditionally a big grip on their console with their game, but their strenght is due to the Third party Line-up. That's why we cannot expect enormous profits for Sony coming from the handheld (but the machine is profitable !).
So, the conclusion is quite clear: even if the PSP's MHP2 will sell 1.5+ millions, don't expect that it will have legs like on Nintendo DS and don't expect taht things will change in the handheld's war. Yeah, I know it is so stupid say this once time more, but a recall is in order.
The PSP is a success ? Absolutely ! Is it comparably to the Nintendo DS in both hardware and software in the world ? Not at all ! These are the fact guys !

That's not what I mean. I think you agree with me that if we search one killer-app for the PSP (i.e. a game that has driven PSP's sales and sold a lot) in the occident, we'll find GTA.
BEFORE Monster Hunter Portable 2, the PSP has had many great games in Japan that sold decently, but not a single killer-app. Now, the PSP has found it in MHP2.
In reality, we should wait to the hardware's numbers to classify better this game, but I have no doubts that PSP has gone up thanks to this game, even if I don't expect it to sell over 100k (after all, it is not the DS).

Top 2 are Playstation titles!
Too bad neither of them are from the Playstation Sony really needs to succeed right now.
And Defuser, your avatar gets creepier everytime you change it. :\

Given the consistency of weekly sales, is 2 million out of the question for Wii Sports or Wii Play?
Will Naruto surpass VF5's first week?
Will PSP sales be over 50k?
Exciting times...

Wii Sports, perhaps, but I thought Wii Play had started to tail off a little?
God, if it does...
That would require them to nearly double, wouldn't it? It would be quite a leap, even with the massive sales of MH. Possible, though.

Nice for PSP. Wow at Wii, and all things are normal for DS.

I don't see Higurashi having legs, so I think FE will outsell it over time. WOW at Sim City, Layton and DQM Joker.
MHP2, of course, needs no comment.

DS Lite - 140,000
PSP - 100,000
Waiting for anyone to confirm or correct...

This means Capcom had to print another 100k or more over the week to meet demand.Stormbringer said:

Nice sales for PSP. That's the closest it's been to the DS in a while. I wonder how well Wii performed. It has four of the top ten best-selling games and in some pictures of the launch of Monster Hunter Portable 2 you could see Wiis being shifted in the background.

I think some of us are underestimating MHP2. I am sure the previous one had really good legs. It was constantly in the top 30 for a while. Maybe I am wrong, somebody could check up. I really think it could hit 1.3 or something around that region.
