Well there are 2 reasons for that my friend :

1. Tracking games in Others is hard
2. Your talking about the PSP , the most undertracked ( software wise ) system from all .

But look at games like Daxter : it did over a million in Others and its not even tracked at all . Ratchet & Clank Size Matters is Platinum in Others , meaning that it sold 300k at least and we still have 0 numbers . When we talk about the PSP get used to have flawed data , and expect rabid DS fans proclaiming that the PSP is dead software wise ( luckily their hardware argument is long dead ) .

I still have yet to see you post any solid evidence that the PSP is more unrepresented than any other system. Every system has unrepresented games. I'm getting tired of you keep on making the same argument, yet not have any statistical evidence to back it up. Put up or shut up.


 Well Il take iois word , who actually stated that the PSP software numbers are ~ the same in others than they are in the US ( this was back when I made the complaint topic about how only 4 ( !!! ) PSP games are tracked , somewhere back in January I think ) . Now seeing that in most weeks we saw in the US sales of over 250k for the PSP and in Other we had seen max. 70k or rarley above .... well I think you get my point . 

 

There are 49 Platinum games on the PSP ( according to Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platinum_range ) , from which VGC only tracks 30 if I count it correct . That means that 19 or 18 games that sold well over 300k are not even tracked at all ( note : when they reach Platinum state and get cheaper games see a boost as allways ) meaning that at least 6 million software sales from just Platinum sales arent even tracked . OMG we allready doubled with those numbers the total ammount of tracked games since the Others top 50 exists ( less then 3 million ) . 

 

The atach rate is currently listed as 0.25 , and the DS has 2.66 . Yes the DS is undertracked severly to , but dont tell me when the attach rate is nearly the same in the US for them , that in Others the DS has a more than 10 times as big attach ratio , because I wont buy that .

 

Oh , and Lets dont forgte that Sony reached the 100 million shipped game UMD numbers back in January , and VGC has only 70 million worldwide sales . Now seeing that CC , CoO , MHP2G and many other games came out Im shure that the shipment number reached 110 million , and dont tell me that 40 million games are just sitting on shelves ...
