That's right kids; Sony has announced that the PSP has shipped a total of 10 million units as of October 1st 2005. Breaking down the shipment by region: the majority of PSPs were shipped in the U.S.A. at 4.5 million units, with 3 million in Japan and 2.5 million in Europe. The European number is very interesting, considering it has only been shipping since September 1st this year. Either the PSP is wildly popular in Europe or there's a lack of demand from retailers in the U.S. and Japan.
Lets all congratulate Sony on the "fastest penetration speed" in PlayStation history — a momentus achievement. So respect it! As Keith Stuart at the Guardian Games Blog says: "Please stop giggling at the back there."
[Update: As some readers pointed out, this is number of units shipped, not sold.]
