The short answer: no. But it's important to note that Sony is depending on the PSP to boost its electronics
division, which accounts for 65% of the company's sales. It's no secret that Sony's stock has fallen by 73% since
it peaked in 2000, and now, the electronics division is poised to record another year of operating losses. Sony
is really banking on the PSP's multimedia functionality, so that it can attract "non-gamers" and also make use of its
film and music divisions. The company is in the process of boosting its production of the handheld, promising to
churn out 2 million units monthly to meet projected demand—this would be more than double the current rate of
800,000. But the big question remains: will non-gamers buy the PSP?
