Actually, the first list perhaps not so much.

It is and is not. The GBA SP is actually selling really well cause there is still loads of software for it!

GBA SP selling twice what the Cube is.. truly dire.

It sells so well because everybody who bought one needs to replace it shortly afterwards with one that actually reads the discs.
I'm already on my third.
Do people just forget that they've already got one?
Somehow I don't think Sony will be too delighted about that. Sure, the PS2 is still doing remarkably well, but they'd be expecting a console released 4 years later to have at least stolen some of the limelight.

30,028 and 28,848 not close for you?
I wasn't talking overall.

That is Japanese sales and they were launched pretty much side by side.
In America the PSP had a dissapointing launch.
