Only 100,000 have been sold. I don't know why Sony feels like saying that's a lot because for the amount of different movies they have available, it's very little. From the 3 companies who pledged their support, (minus Sony's own movies, just to be safe) let's say 33,000 movies have been sold each. That's $660,000 per company. It seems that they're praising the 100,000 "mile-stone" like the half a million milestone of Resident Evil 4.

I'd say Resident Evil and House of Flying Daggers would be the top sellers, perhaps because Resident Evil is the one most likely to be confused with a game from that series, and House of Flying Daggers is the one the least people would know its being a movie and would mistake it for a game.
I would imagine sales of the UMD version of "Are We There Yet?" To be quite low.

Two UMD movies have now sold more than 100,000 copies each: Sony's House of Flying Daggers and Resident Evil 2, both released April 19. Sony's Feingold calls the sales tally "remarkable," noting that it took nine months for the first DVD title, Air Force One, to cross the 100,000-unit mark.
looks like some one has got their facts mixed up. Why would they report 100,000 sold now if it had been accomplished individually by two seperate titles a month ago and in the span of a months time?
Unless they just hit 100,000 in Japan only

That's why so many titles that aren't coming from Sony Pictures are popping up now. And it's why Sony claims to be "upset" about porn being made on UMD video, but says that they can't do anything to stop it.
Anyone with a factory can start running off UMDs now.
Even though Sony says this only applies to movies, you just know that this would be a massive blunder in terms of securing the PSP against game piracy. That is, if anyone was actually interested in bothering to put bootlegs on UMD discs anymore (the Memory Stick is clearly where it's at).

If that is the case, they have to be making the UMD, and therefore making money off of the UMD.
edited to actually make sense

How many teen-aged boys do you think will have some porn at least on their memorysticks?
An odd demographic but a demographic indeed.
