Statistically, the numbers do not appear to match the market, future or otherwise, or the thoughts of the average user looking in. However with Sony reporting that targets of having UMD Video account for 60% of all UMD's sold by 2008 are on track, thinks seem to be continually looking up for Sony's proprietary format. Considering that gaming is what many would consider to be the principal use for the PSP device, recent (we would assume worldwide...) sales figures of 9 million UMD games and 8.2 UMD movies suggest that take up of UMD Video is grossly outgunning the initial scepticism. Falling prices and a hungry and as yet nowhere near exhausted European market may prove to spin the figures once or twice more before 2008.
