Former PlayStation employer Shawn Layden has actually provided the PSP a long-overdue funeral service, as well as with it, exposed a couple of formerly unidentified information regarding the cherished portable’s life.

In a picture uploaded to Twitter, Layden displayed a particularly personalized PlayStation Portable that properly acts as a headstone for the system. On among the back panels, it claims “In memory of PSP last production.” On the opposite side, it keeps in mind a “production achievement” of 82,523,607 systems produced in between November 9, 2004, as well as September 26, 2014.

“Not bad, lil buddy,” Layden claims. And, without a doubt, the replies to Layden’s tweet recommend that there’s a great deal of desire for the PSP still airborne. With a collection that consists of the similarity Lumines, Patapon, Jeanne d’Arc, as well as various exceptional spin-offs of console collection like Metal Gear Solid, God of War, as well as GTA, the rankings of the best PSP games are difficult to defeat.

Both the complete system manufacturing numbers as well as the specific days of production were formerly unidentified, as for I’ve had the ability to discover. Sony‘s last officially reported sales numbers for PSP were 76.4 million since March 31, 2012. It’s feasible a few of the produced systems never ever wound up obtaining marketed to customers, however it’s not likely Sony’s remaining on numerous unsold PSPs in some stockroom.

The PSP obtained its follow-up, the PlayStation Vita, in 2011. While the Vita was an absolute upgrade in regards to equipment, it never ever discovered the exact same sales success as its precursor – possibly partly because of the synchronised increase of mobile phone video gaming.

The PlayStation Portal is Sony’s following portable, however it’s not the PSP follower you may be expecting.
