I found these figures* over at www.gamerankings.com and thought it was interesting to see that the UK has the highest ratio of sales of PSP to DS (8 PSP's sold to every 10 DS's sold). I'm under the impression (perhaps wrongly?) that Nintendo are usually better at regionalisation than Sony, so I wonder if this why the DS has sold better where English isn't the first language - or maybe us Brits are just more susceptible to Sony's marketing than Johnny Foreigner
Either way 800k sales of PSP's and 1m sales of DS's is pretty good. I do wonder what the figures would look like if adjusted for imports.
* Presumably they are total combined sales to 31st January 2006 although the article doesn't specify.
