But if game does so well, why not the console sell better? Is it cause American and Europe Numbers?

It did.  From the week MHF2 was released in Japan over the next 6 weeks, the PSP sales were much higher than normal.  PSP sales were normally around 30k on average every week.  But when MHF2 was released, the PSP was selling around 57k on average for the next 6 weeks until it came back down to normal.

So in theory, the PSP's sales doubled over the 6 week period from the games release.

Meaning that around 160k extra PSP's were sold due to MHF2.  Although this does not equate to sales of the game.  What it does mean, is that the release of the game, made an extra 160k Japanese buy the PSP.

The PSP is still steadily selling reasonably well around the world.  It will not beat DS or Wii weekly figures, but it is and has been steadily in there at 3rd for some time and it is doing not too bad....check out the WW sales for the last week.

DS - 388k

Wii - 214k

PSP - 151k

X360 - 69k

PS3 -  52k
