Sony had a huge presence in HK because of Sony's long-established brand name. Being a portable multimedia device, PSP is THE fad there. (also in mainland China, which is why HUGE amount of PSPs - possibly 3-5 million - are illegally imported there.)

 

 


Um where did you pull those figures from? Just coming back from china I'll tell you i didn't see anyone playing any portable gaming device, whenever i whipped out the ds I'd get strange looks


I don't know which city you had been to, but I've been to many big cities including Shanghai (where I'm currently at), Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc., and there're always people using (well, not playing games at all times) PSPs in the metros, on the street, etc.

I have an article estimating the total sales figures of PSPs in China. It may not be very accurate, but the estimation is quite convincing.

It may be because what you put out is an NDS/NDSL cos many people just take it as another PDA and consider it not cool (although I have one cos they got more great games on the NDSL :p)
