MontanaHatchet said: Ok, that's for appeal, I doubt it could beat the DS. But it will definitely get large software and hardware boosts. I'm going to get the closest look at the upcoming Japanese market that an American can. http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=sv_vg_2/250-2790500-4832266 10 of the top 20 items are for the PSP, although several of the items are the PSP itself. This can be compared to: 3 DS items 5 PS2 items 1 Xbox item 1 Xbox 360 item Of course, one could claim that Amazon.com is hardly a judge of the current gaming market. This is mostly true, however... http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=sv_vg_2/250-2790500-4832266According to Alexa.com, Amazon.jp is the 13th highest ranked website in Japan. This can be compared to Amazon.com being the 11th highest ranked site in the U.S. So, one could argue that it's no more accurate than Amazon.com is for the U.S. However... http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=amazon.co.jp http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=amazon.com According to the site, 86.7% of the site's traffic comes from Japan. Only 42.6% of Amazon.com's traffic is from the U.S., however. Now that that's all out of the way, we can safely say that the PSP will have a strong showing next week. Crisis Core is at #2 on Amazon.jp, and will be released next week. I haven't figured out what the title at the top is (looks strange), but I can safely say it will do well. Thoughts? |
