Not all games can create such a dent in the market, though, and of those hundreds of games in the PSP’s history, there are dozens that slipped by largely unnoticed.Īlthough the lion’s share of Mega Man titles came out on Nintendo systems, the Blue Bomber also made a notable appearance on the PSP. If you own a PSP, you’ve more than likely played such titles as Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (which sold 7.6 million copies, fact fans), Gran Turismo (3.2 million copies) or God of War: Chains of Olympus (3.1 million). According to VGChartz’s data, many of these were ports or spin-offs from franchises on the PSP’s big sister, the PlayStation 3. Over that time, the PSP garnered an impressive library of over 1300 games.
And while the Nintendo DS wound up selling more units, the PSP was also a great success, with about 80 million systems sold between its launch and its demise in 2014.
Launched in 2004, Sony’s PlayStation Portable attempted to upstage its competitors through sheer firepower: with its 32-bit processor and crisp display, it was capable of running games closer to a home console than a typical handheld.
