PSP: history and collecting
Released in Japan in late 2004 and in the West in 2005, the PSP was the first handheld to seriously rival Nintendo on power. With its widescreen display, UMD format and multimedia features (music, video), it targeted an older audience and sold more than 80 million units. It also became a celebrated playground for the homebrew scene.
Its library blended blockbusters and originals: God of War: Chains of Olympus and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker brought major franchises on the go, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite became a social phenomenon in Japan, while Patapon, LocoRoco and Persona 3 Portable captured the machine's creativity. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and Gran Turismo rounded out a surprisingly rich catalog.
For collectors, the PSP stays affordable for most titles, but niche RPGs and Japanese runs are climbing, especially complete and sealed. The relative fragility of UMDs and cases rewards well-kept copies, and some limited editions are becoming hard to find. On RomWize, every PSP game is retested and re-rated for 2026, with its rarity index and collector value (loose, complete and new) by region, to spot the gems among the many ports.
