I'm not doubting the photo or the translation, but this sounds a bit funny to me. The PSP is not selling badly (40K last week.) Sounds more like some store stopping selling Sony for some other reason (like markup or supply problems or something).



If there is no interest then who and why are they apologise? It's a joke of some N-fanatic.

Sounds like a store is going out of business. I have a hard time believing they'd stop selling the PSP most of all, because it's doing quite well in Japan now.



Are you Serious do you have this from a site that can be absolutly sure about it I now it stands something for Sony's products but it uld be price cut or anything else and is this just for one store or are there a compani that stops selling sony products?



My dog is way beyond my ranking list than you.

The PSP software is selling badly. Only 57k vs 869k for the DS. That's terrible. Most of the profit comes from the software sales.

Think about it, if every new PSP buyer purchased one game, that means existing PSP owners only purchased 18k games.

that's just typical courtesy in Japan, you can't look at it from your own point of view.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

What if the store is having trouble making ends meat. Sony never stops producing those systems you know. They just send 2 to every store every week and say give us 1200 dollars. If they aren't selling, that's a big bite out of any electronics store. They are selling about 14000 every week. So that's how many? 1 system every 2 weeks? 1 every month?!?! Then add on top of that the peripherals and games, but I guess those would be selling alright.
