No i actually dont think that it will hurt sales but this new psp is just catering to another sale demographic, people who prefer to buy online/download rather than go out and keep a physical copy. They are also preparing for the digital market transistion that will be effecting store sales in the coming years.

This switch is probably going to hurt the PSP sales... I am kind of hesitant on buying the new hand held because I kind of do not want to lose all of my UMD games, and also I do not want to wait for them to put some of the PSP games releasing soon on PSN.
