You know that japanese kids can bring a video game system to school? (this came from gameinformer) the one that they can bring is the ds. Thats why its selling outrageously like an ipod.
I thought it's selling so well because of its games...

Your crystal ball must be broken. They have a 2 for 1 sale at Spencer's.


Haha awesome post Dolla!

Seriously though I rarely use my PSP for actual purchased games.  I have bought 5 games in almost 2 years of owning the system, and one of them I just bought a couple days ago (Jeanne D'Arc, which is awesome).  It's not that it goes unused.  I play old roms on it a lot, but on my DS I have bought almost 30 games (most recently Rune Factory and Heroes of Mana).  

darconi, don't count on a price cut anytime before 2008.  

Anyway, yeah I think the problem is that the PSP has very little remaining 3rd party support, and Sony's 1st party isn't good enough to push the platform alone.  Take SE for example:  They have 8 PSP games made/in production, but 6 of them are remakes of old games.  They have 17 DS games made/in production, including the main game in their second largest franchise, and only 5 of those are remakes.  It's pretty much the same accross all 3rd parties. 

There is the occaissional PSP game, but owning a PSP is like owning a Gamecube that plays old roms but doesn't have Nintendo games.  You get the occaissional 3rd party gem, but overall support is very weak.
