Forums - Sales - There is something not right with the PSP software on VGchartz

I just don't understand the PSP software. When I go to game shops The PSP section is almost platinium empty. Almost al platinium titles were sold out. And yes they add

I just don't want to believe that great PSP gamesthat are released a couple of week ago like SOCOM Tactical Strike, SOCOM FTB2, Wipeout Pulse and Syphon Filter Logan's Shadow didn't even sell 20k In Europe????????? So is there something wrong on VGchartz with the PSP software? I mean from my experience some PSP games sell pretty good, especially the platinium ones (Wipeout Pure is selling like crazy the last weeks). But why are they always missing then in the Top 50?

So is someone here who has an expalantion?

Anecdotal evidence is no evidence, PSP software has been a poor seller WW

 that doesn't explain nds' software sales



Less DS hacking than PSP.

With the PSP you can watch movies, play PS1 games, play GBA games, play SNES games, and about 50 other things that don't involve the purchase of a PSP game.

On the DS you get..........DS games and that's it.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

@ mrstickball.

If you get an R4 card for your DS, then it can do all the things you just listed for the PSP and then some.

No but SOCOM games on PSP always sold well, even with piracy. And where are Spider-Man 3 and Daxter, they are bundled with the PSP in Europe?



Others are never shown on VGC , and many games are undertracked , or not tracked at all in the US and Japanese charts ... please , dont tell me that POP : RS didnt sell at least 10k copys , when it used to be one of the most popular PSP games on both IGN and GS ....

By far VGCs biggest flaw is the PSP section , and thats sad ...



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

Yeah Hunter_alien is right, I know PSP software is the worst of all, but still it has to be way undertrackes, escpecially for Europe. Which retailers and how many retailers do VGchartz actually use?
