The BBC reports that Sony's PSP has broken sales records in the U.K. with 185,000 sales in just four days. The BBC says Sony expects to sell 1 million PSPs before the Christmas holiday.
Sony wants the PSP to appeal to more than just gamers. It also plays films, music, and browses the web wirelessly.
The gadget went on sale in Europe on 1 September, nine months after hit Japanese stores and six months after the US.
Sony expects a million PSPs to be sold in the UK before Christmas.
Shops across the country opened their doors at midnight last week to deal with the demand from gamers, with many reporting that they had sold out. Chart-Track also reported that nine of the 24 PSP games which were available at launch entered the Top 10 official UK games chart this week.
Topping the chart was Ridge Racer, with one in five people buying the game along with the PSP device.
The PSP, which plays games, music and films, was also a hit in the U.S. selling 500,000 copies in just two days.
