Slim PSP sales figures in Japan top original PSP sales

According to Sony, over 580,000 units of the new PSP Slim have been sold in Japan since its release two weeks ago.

The company also said the figures include the 77,777 special edition models that were made to celebrate the launch "Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII" which was released a week before the main console.



The sales figures eclipse the total sales for the original PSP which was launched in December of 2004.

Sony has not released figures for the PSP Slim in North America or Europe, but expects to soon.
