 I think it probably has to do with how easy it is to "Porcure Games" for the PSP =P



whats this thread about, i am so confused



I think it has a big gadgety appeal. Also brand name. Another thing is movies are a big advertisement for it. People who would elsewise be benign to it's existince learn about it in video stores and such. I think iphoners and people who can't afford them (or are just plain reasonable budget wise), flock to it, which gives it the strong sales it has.

August npd numbers for PSP i am talking America sells not about Japan because it has games like Phantasy Star Portable but they never make it here



250k: Monthly


As for why it sells, I'd have to go with what it offers. If it were around 150 dollars I'll promise you it would sell over 270k weekly.




- PSP sells because of sony fanboys
- PSP sells because of god of war and metal gear fans
- PSP sells because Sony hyped the machine up as the portable of the future
- PSP sells because lots of casual gamers assosiate it with ps2



Think for yourself, question authority

psp sells because its not just a video game system
