At the rate it's going, the PSP will outsell the DS in 25000 years in Japan.

Nintendo destroys the competition this week SW wise. Wii does a great job matching the PSP sales and DS rises from the ashes,

Actually Microsoft killed the competition this week.

Their software rose 455%

You guys have to realize that the PSP is only strong in Japan because of 2 games (Monster Hunter 2G and Monster Hunter 2). Neither of those games are even still selling all that well, and yet the PSP keeps steady hardware sales and beats out the competition even during some of their largest releases.

To say that's not impressive means you're afraid of the little black monster known as the P-S-P S-L-I-M!!!!!!!!

Wow, terrible. You should really work on your fixes because you're not very good at them.

Look at history. MHF2 launched for the PSP in Japan at the beginning of 07. Crisis Core launched at the end of 07. Which do you think had a larger effect during their launches and even now? Sure Monster Hunter Freedom 2 is selling better than Crisis Core in Japan now, but it's by 600 units. And at a level that's pretty insignificant too.

And I call it Lite because it's much lighter than the original.

Who cares about HW sales. The RPG of the generation is out. Now it is just a matter of time until I can get my dirty grubby fingers on a copy of TOS 2.

@ your sig

Ar Tonelico has the best songs I've ever heard in a game. I listen to the hymns on my ipod all the time!

With its abysmal software sales I have to wonder how long people in Japa nwill keep buying PSP as a media player, and when (or if) Sony is going to announce a PSP2.

Also, 360 at 3.5k = WTF?

I hope a new PSP gets announced this year.  But the Japan sales are here to stay.  There are plenty of title s in Japan coming out for the system, so they're happy.

Warning. Anyone who celebrates this win forfeits any future right to claim that "I'll wait for NPD" when PS3 sales figures are released.

You are being watched, names are being taken.

Warning over.

Okay... I don't get it.

 

Because some posters, and there is no need to name names, prefer to say VGChartz is wrong when the PS3 underperforms. Instead they say "I'll wait for NPD."

The largest group, most recently, have been a few PS3 fanboys after the recent sales drop damage controlled by the 80gb talking point.

 

Famitsu has the Wii significantly ahead of the PSP this week.

However, I'm sure those same fanboys would now prefer to use VGChartz numbers instead of other sources.

 

I'm saying anyone who actually did cry foul and "wait for NPD" when the PS3 numbers were released, give up any right to celebrate when VGChartz contradicts the (in their minds) "credible" sources who have a larger sample size.

 

Of course, they can celebrate all they want. They should expect epic ownage with evidence to back up their hipocrisy, though.

Once everything is known, all is clear.

You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

It's such a nice and sunny day outside.
