Hey, at least the PSP outsold the regular DS, right? It will be interesting to see, however, if the new firmware upgrade or the additions of Bleach, Ultraman and Bomberman to the PSP library help raise sells next week. If you really want to have a laugh, look at the Xbox's sales. Yeah, that's right zero!
