Sega decide to go for the local multiplayer option, which is big in Japan, for PSP while opting to use the online mutiplayer option on the DS. Online gaming in Japan is not very popular. This is why PSP sold better than PSO.

Considering PS0 has online and offline multiplayer, I have no idea what your point is.

Game came out first week of March. Didn't the gamer's day sales start in late April?

But wait! Phantasy Star Zero also has local multiplayer! No one is forced to play online. PS0 has offline and online multiplayer too.
