I don't think Sony *gets* the PSP

[jarrod]

To be honest, I don't think Sony "gets" PSP in any region.  Monster Hunter saved their ass in Japan, and that's pretty much the only reason the platform's at all viable there today.  If not for MH reviving it from the brink, PSP would be just as lifeless in Japan today as it is everywhere else.

 

Also, the PoPoLoCrois games were on PS1/PS2.  Counting up the original PSP IPs developed in each region, it's actually really heavily weighted to Japan still though... this comprehensive list is for UMD releases only, 1st party developed games are bolded...
