March NPD numbers look good for PSP

By Andrew Yoon

While PSP isn't dominating the American sales charts like it does in Japan, it still put up a respectable showing, besting all the other console offerings of Microsoft and Sony. The PSP sold nearly 300k units, as its userbase continues to grow.

PSP software also managed to break into the top 10 sales for the month — a true rarity for the system. With such impressive first month sales, it's clear that both Crisis Core and Chains of Olympus will outsell every PSP game released last year.

Check out the numbers, after the cut.
