A good guess for bundles would probably be ~30k territory.  That accounts for most of the weekly bump PSP saw in sales this month, though not all of it since this month had several big PSP sales ($150 Go or $125 3k at DELL among them).

No clue on PSN, but I'd imagine if sales there were significant (for, well, *anything*), we'd know about by now...


That's a bad guess, we barely hear anything about any digital download sales numbers about anything on any platform. What we got from PSN? 1 million minis - with no breakdown per title, 100k for FFVII in one week - with no regional breakdown, 20k for Burnout Paradise in 2 weeks - with no regional breakdown, anything else? What did we get on XBL? 1 billion profit - with no breakdown on sales of games, I believe we got numbers for GTA Stories, but no breakdown between download and disc. Not even apple releases numbers. 

It sucks.

Atlus said Persona PSP sold 10k digitally in Japan (compared to 120k retail)... and that was supposedly good for the platform.

I'm pretty sure they never mentioned it was good for the platform, you're adding your personal opinion there. I do think it's good though considering Persona remake sold like 100k in Japan, Japan is not as download friendly as we are in the west and it was supposedly not that good of a game to begin with. My point still stands.

jarrod adding his personal opinion as a fact?? I'm shocked.

I love how acts like the pirates are the reason this game failed hardcore. The real reason is that the psp cant sell software this late in its product cycle. I really cant put the blame on anyone besides sony for failing psp sales. The ds is easy to hack, just get an r4 or cyclops. yet the sales are still incredible for the ds

Maybe It'll sell better on the 3DS...........


maybe it will sell better on Wii,PS2,PSP2,PS3...........................SO ON


Yeah, but it'll still be interesting to compare them.

Anyway, terrible MGS sales on the PSP. I think the sales for PSP software are actually getting worse as the userbase increases. This is supposed to be the "hardcore" handheld. If the DS is the casual and hardcore handheld, then WTF?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Nah.  Peacewalker is more of a portable experience.  I actually think it would suck on a console.  And I don't see it being ported to a PSP2.  If anything, the PSP2 would probably be backwards compatible.  I stand by my 3DS statement.

BUT WHY WOULD it be ported to 3DS when 3DS has it own MGS game

 

There is a little thing called money, if MGS3 sells well enough, no doubt that Konami will do a quick dirty (but 3D) port of Peace Walker on the 3DS, if Kojima 'gives' his consent. 



Also, I think it's a shame at this point to put good games on the PSP. They aren't really selling. Take those games, don't even change them at all, put them on the Wii, and you get 10x more attention for your game(even if you don't increase sales) and Nintendo will probably pay you for it as well. Plus, then, we won't have to go buy a PSP to play it. I mean, we already all own Wiis.

It's like they are making these games on the PSP instead of the Wii, just to be spiteful, and when the games don't sell(see every PSP game ever), they get all pissy about it. Or better yet, make them for the PC/PS3/360 and stop trying to skimp on great franchises.

When I hear that one of my favorite franchises is coming to the PSP, I want to freakin' hurl. That means not only will the game never be played by me, it'll never be played by nearly anyone but pirates, it'll sell like shit, and the developer will take that as a queue never to make a new game in that franchise. It also wastes time they could have spent making Parasite Eve a real sequel on a home console, instead of a freakin' PSP game.

Thank you MGS Peacewalker. Has there ever been a system that more iconicly portrays the inability of a console to sell software, and the consequences that brings?

Final Fantasy Agito XIII is destined to fail worse. I can already see Square-Enix complaining.

Incoming PS3 port? Yes please =D


I'd rather see a PS2 port!

Ultimately, anything except PSP would be great.

It'd be lucky if PSN sales were a third of retail. 


Gran Turismo PSP had a 600k difference in downloads in March.even more now.

How many of those were given away for free?

Wasn't it bundled with the PSP Go?
