the PSP is dead in the west, but in JAPAN its one of the best selling platforms.

It's not doing that exceptionally in Japan either anyway, sales in 2009 were nearly 1.5m down from 2008 and it's best selling game was a budget rerelease.  For hardware it's still second (barely), but for software it's a distant 3rd.

it sold 150K last week, and had KH BBS debut nearly twice as high as the DS KH game.

It should've sold more than twice as much, it's a "real" Kingdom Hearts rather than a low budget outsourced spinoff like the DS game.   

PSP had a huge AAA game and a hardware bundle last week.  It's also been trending the largest declines of any platform in Japan.

May not be a huge difference maker, but does anyone know if KH: BBS was available for download on PSN Japan for GO users?
