Well look in the future of the PSP. It has what, 4 Final Fantasy games coming. FF is gunna be big for Sony. The only setback for them in Japan right now is DQIX which is a huge set back. If im not mistaken it is one of the biggest games in Japan if not the biggest. I dont know much about the DS though so whatever I say about it could be wrong but if sales are well (which they are gunna be) I bet you can expect a DQ on the PSP.

not to mention big brain academy coming just a week later... Wii sales in Japan should stay steady for a while after SPM is released...

I don't think a bunch of crusty old FF ports or some weird FF7 action-spinoff-vaporware thing is going to do much for the PSP.

And I highly doubt a Dragon Quest game appears on the PSP. Dragon Quest games usually go onto the platform with the highest userbase, and considering the DS has three times the userbase the PSP has, making a PSP game would be a waste of time, especially considering the low game sales of PSP games that aren't PS2/PSOne ports.

And looking into the future of the PSP, it's actually pretty bleak. It's mostly getting table-scraps, "GameCube Time-Bombs" (That's where a company like Edios would make a GC port of Hitman 2, release it 8 months after the other versions and when it predictably flops, use that as a reason to cancel further support), worthwhile games that the PSP audience just won't buy which causes them to flop, and the Sony first-party games, which is a PAINFUL position to be in, really.

Traditionally, the strength of Sony systems was their strong third party support. But with the PSP, most third parties are over in DS-town and they are performing better there, causing them to rely on their first-party games to push the system, and the results have been mediocre at best, and laughably pathetic at worst. The worst case scenario is if the PSP audience actually gets a taste for Sony First Party OVER third party games. Then they would get into the N64/GC situation, except with worse and less popular games.

Remember everyone - Nintendo make *most* of their money from software releases, not hardware sales. If they released Super Paper Mario on a week with 40k Wii units available - it would be a disaster.

I think you'll start to see this strategy around the world. Cut back on hardware shipments (gradually), save them up - then release a massive number when a big title comes out. This way people who want the game (but don't have a Wii) have a better chance of getting one. Just in case most people who picked up a Wii just for Wii Sports aren't interested in anything else ;)

Really? Never thought of that

I think One Piece Unlimited Adventure might sell some bunch of games as well. To me the game looks awesome so I hope the scores are great if so I will most defenitely buy the game. I hope Dog Island will do well too, got a total weakness for cute doggies

I have high hopes for One Piece as well, I hope it turns out to be a great game. :)
