PSP has now sold-in more than 50 million units globally, Sony announced today.

Around 9 million units have been added to the console’s installed base since August 2008.

The machine launched on December 12, 2004 in Japan; March 24, 2005 in the US; and September 1, 2005 in Europe.

The PlayStation 2’s tenure as God-Emperor King of videogame consoles may be coming to a close, but at least it’s going out on a high note. According to a report by The Associated Press, the nearly nine year-old machine’s cash emissions are vomit-inducingly high, with 50 million units sold in the U.S. alone.

Will the PS2 break 60 million units, though? Well, that depends on Sony who – even though PS2 sales have nearly halved since last year – doesn’t plan on tossing the system aside just yet.

“We don’t intend on discarding the system any time soon,” said Sony Computer Entertainment America hardware marketing director John Koller.
