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 also visited Singapore & China on my trip, and saw a few DS's, but mainly GBA's. HK was the obvious territory for PSP's (makes sense, as stated above).

This is also what I was talking about - shipped units vrs sold units. We don't count shipped units - so they are shipped to HK, then sold - we should aim to collect some sales figures from the region.

I can see at least 3 PSPs every day during my commute in the Shanghai Metro. In the last 12 months many people had bought PSPs, and the number is still increasing.
