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.
|
PSP is up year on year so far in 2010
and, KH BBS is a spin off, just like KH 358/2
|
This year's only had one week, lol.
And BBS is NOT a spinoff. It's basically Kingdom Hearts Zero, which was it's working title in fact. It's being given a fullscale promotional treatment like a full sequel, it's developed inhouse (unlike the GBA/DS spinoffs) and it's actually has new content/worlds developed for it (like KH1/2, unlike 358/2d).
|
BBS is a spin off..
Kingdom hearts ZERO = Coded, 358/2 DAYS, and BIRTH BY SLEEP
Its not getting fullscale promotional treatment like a full sequel at all, and I dont know about it being developed in house?
|
Nope, KH Zero is specifically the working title for BBS. And that's basically what it is, an unnumbered mainline entry.
It's been confirmed to be done inhouse. It's by Nomura's secondary team, the Osaka R&D group. They did the COM remake on PS2.
And I'd suggest you take a look at NeoGAFs MC threads. BBS being treated like a numbered entry doesn't come from me, it comes from the JGAFers reporting on it 1st hand. New worlds, hardware bundle, tons of ads, full treatment.
I'm actually a bit shocked I seemingly know more about KH than someone with a KH avy. I feel dirty. :/
