| happydolphin said: @Cone. Yup, I had understood ya This part I don't really agree with: "And major devs, like Capcom, Squeenix, Namco etc. base most of their games of Japanese sales, as that's where they'll make the money. Havig poor JP sales will stop 3rd party devs, dropping sales WW as a consequence, in a never-ending loop." If you look at the best-selling games on the PSP in the west, most are western games (except 1st party games of course, which aren't relevant to the point).

I've had a look. Looks more like Monster Hunter, GTA and Final Fantasy are the real big sellers. Never knew it had so few million-sellers (just over 50? WTH?), and that seems to be a wide variety of games. A nice mix of western and Japanese.
But you can see how big a body-blow it is to Sony not having MH, though. Especially MH4, the first new game to hit a handheld IIRC. Who KNOWS what that can do to the 3DS, and, by expansion, Vita...
