It’s hard to believe, but Sony’s PSP console is already five years old… well, in America.

Launched on March 24th 2005 in America and September 1st in the UK, the PSP has gone on to sell over 60 million units worldwide.
PSP 5th Birthday
Senior vice president of marketing, Peter Dille comment on the PSP anniversary, saying:

"Five years ago, PlayStation had yet to break into the portable market. Today, the PSP system is a well-established handheld platform that continuously redefines portable entertainment with quality that's unparalleled. As PSP celebrates its fifth anniversary, the best is yet to come."

What does he mean by “the best is yet to come?” Perhaps director of hardware marketing, John Koller can shed some light on things.

"As we move further into 2010, the innovation and technological prowess of the PSP system continues to be evident," said Koller. "We have a plethora of exciting new games, some of which have yet to be announced, coming later this year that will continue to deliver the same unparalleled gaming experiences that you know and love."

Wonder if they’ll follow their trend of copying other peoples ideas and announce a 3D PSP. It could happen.
