So the holiday boost has arrived in Japan! Wth @ PSP boost...buy the Vita instead for pete's sake. Also a bit surprising to see a PS3 boost the week after Yakuza 5 released (last year it sold 65k because of FFXIII-2 iirc).
Animal Crossing o.O |
Japanese people make no sense, they buy a DS when the 3DS is out so its not a surprise to see PSP selling better than the Vita.
It could also be the reason the PSP has always been pushed as a Japanese system while the Vita is mostly targeting Western audiences (i.e. AC3L, CoD, etc). Uncharted as launch title in Japan really? l0l.
Plus the PSP is cheaper and the Vita doesnt support all of the games in its PSP Catalog yet.

The one who is not making any sense is you. DS in Japan is selling a lot less than in other regions since 3DS launched. Just go to the homepage and you will see how much it sold in Japan compared to the other regions. The reason people in Japan buy PSP instead of the Vita is because the developers there are still making a lot more games for it compared to the vita.

I was talking about before like in the first year of the 3DS , not about the current sales - maybe you should of taken another look at my post (and the chartz) before attempting to insult me and yes I know developers are jumping on the PSP because like I said its a cheaper system and its more popular with the Japanese than the Vita is which is mostly mainly targeting the western demographic with its game library.
Edit: The sales for the NDS didnt drop completely until this year - while it sold well despite sales going down throughout the first year of the 3DS which is amazing since you can b/c with the 3DS. It makes no sense to buy a NDS when you can b/c with the 3DS or even emulate the NDS games at this point on even a old PC.

Japan sold significantly less DS units than US and Europe in 2011 and in 2010 as well.
