Wow! PSP Sales In Japan

Okay, we all know that the two newest Pokemon games came out recently in Japan. About 2 to 3 weeks ago and because of it, the DSi has sold sooooo much. It's insane! People will buy the DSi just for that. I kept hearing in all the RSS feeds that I follow that the DSi is selling so well and usually, they would place a pie chart in the post to look fancy. Well, I just read another article talking about how the PSP is once again selling more than the DS! :O
For a long time before those games came out, the PSP was selling a lot more than the DSi and now it's continuing to sell more. Sony's getting a pretty good base in Japan which means that people will most likely be seeing more and better games from there.

Re: Wow! PSP Sales In Japan

Thats good to hear, the psp is a highly underrated handheld :(. It deserves much more respect! I really hope the PSP 2 releases next year though, I'll buy it for $250 or maybe $300 in a heart beat.

Re: Wow! PSP Sales In Japan

Advent, you see the news on Brewology's homepage about the PSP SDK? :]
I'd buy the new PSP over the 3DS anyday. :)
@Monkey: Not at this time.. :( I can easily find them once I'm back at home.

Yep, I suppose Sony might be waiting until E3 to reveal it. And if Sony is already handing out dev kits, there ought to be some good launch games :).

Re: Wow! PSP Sales In Japan

I actually figured Sony would release it at CES in January. :D And, so far, all the data's been pointing at that. And since the 3DS was pushed back until March, the PSP2 might actually give the 3DS a run for the money.

Re: Wow! PSP Sales In Japan

That's a possibility but a lot of people are buying DS's for Pokemon, right?
