Sony released today its financial results for the 2009 fiscal year (April 1 ā March 31), and where thereās results, thereās hardware sales figures.
The Networked Products & Services division ā of which Sony Computer Entertainment is a part ā saw its sales fall by 10%, the company blaming exchange rates, along with both a decline in sales of Vaio computers and the PlayStation Portable for the drop.
That finger-pointing is justified in the case of the PSP, which fell from 14.1 million units sold in 2008 to just 9.9 million in 2009. Thatās a big drop, despite the launch of the PSPgo, and and goes to show that itās not just you who wants a new PSP console. Sony could do with it as well

Finally, showing the PlayStation 2 is far from an afterthought, the old warhorse sold 7.3 million units in FY 2009, an admirable performance considering it sold 7.9 million the year before. If the PSP isnāt careful, it might slide fast enough to be outsold in FY2010 by a console thatās ten years old.
