After only two months on the market, the PSP-2000 has sold a million units in Japan as of Nov. 22, Sony announced. What makes it more impressive is it reached the milestone two weeks faster than the original PSP when it launched in December 2004.
"Along with the ever greater sales of the PSP system, more and more software titles are released, with more than 500 software titles available in Japan alone," Sony said in its release. "Looking forward, many more titles in various genres are scheduled to be released this holiday season from third party game developers and publishers, as well as SCE Worldwide Studios Japan Studio titles. The new slim and light PSP offers more convenience in portability and more choice in colors to match users' lifestyle."
Hitting this number so quickly isn't entirely surprising considering that the PSP-2000 sold 500,000 in just two weeks after its launch and has been in the top hardware spot in the weekly hardware sales charts several times, as well. It will be interesting, however, to see how long it takes Sony's newest version of the PSP to hit that mark in the other two regions.

going to get one of those sony av cable next to see how it looks when hook up to a tv ...
Long battery live 4-5 hours, graphics look great for a handheld, and the multi-media functions (video, image, audio) are very nice.
The PSP <-> PS3 remote control directly, through your home network or the internet and stream audio, video, and images from the PS3 is rather impressive. I was able to have a media server on my pc transcode video to the PS3 which then sent to the PSP.
