LOL

It's a damn shame the worst system I own (the DS) sells so much more than the best console I own (the Xbox).

So sad =*(

no actually i have never had a problem, my ps1 still works and its gotta be over 5 years old and it was used when i got it. and i just got a cd player that has skip protection like i have never seen. i jsut was doing the obligatory joke, no african americans have ever stolen my tv either, its just one of those tnl things.

Only you can say no to Sales Threads.

they dont seem to like western rpgs either, since the x-box has had kotor, fable, kotor 2, jade, and morrowind. all of those were amazing games that sold well(except for jade, havent seen sales numbers for that yet, but they had better be phenomonal). the japanese dont even have the excuse that there are better pc versions of most of these games, becasue pc gaming in japan is mostly pornos.

Don't forget the PSP has a shortage right now, if it was otherwise who knows how that chart would look.

Well Nintendogs just came out in Japan, and it got a 40/40 in Famitsu (joining Vagrant Story, Soul Calibur, Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker). And it sold like 180,000 copies this week, fastest selling game for the DS since Super Mario 64 DS. That could have a lot to do with it as well.

PSP is readily available in Japan and the U.S.

Yeah, that's exactly why I have literally never seen one in any store in my area. Ever.

Wow, it got a 40/40? Isn't that game just a virtual pet?

There's definitely not a shortage.

They released 1 million for launch day and a second shipment shortly after. They only sold 650k or whatever the number was. Sorry about your area, but they are readily available in most, two stores that I know of still have over 30 PSPs from the first shipment Sony sent.
