When you ignore Japan and the rest of Europe you have to expect Xbox games to take the lead. I mean Monster Hunter would have made the list pretty high. along with many others.

This has to be on of the stupidest topics I've ever heard. Priacy. HA! That has to be the biggest joke ever, when you have 2 previous topics stating that one game has sold 1.5 MILLION UNITS and the second being that the PSP has outsold every other console for 2 weeks straight.

The problem with this "list" that is completely subjective. It doesn't include Europe or Japan/Asia. So it only measures the relatively small audience of US/UK.

Then you follow the fact that 2007 was not the greatest year for the PSP, since most of the games released were Remakes of previous IPs. It had it good games but nothing note worthy. Silent Hill, Manhunt 2, Battlefront 2, Monster Hunters 2, etc. All very good games but games that for their own reasons failed to attract better sales.

In the end I would not blame piracy as the main problem since there's alot of conflicting data. Even though, there is a small portion which is to blame for that. I would blame a lack of seriously good games(GOW/Crisis Core any one?) and a flawed list. One that most likely wanted to bring a highlight to American games/console maker. This is of course disregarding the fact that consoles have better games, better features.

I interested if GOW: COO and FF:CC will be on the Top 100 list for 2008. I purchased both of those games and didn't download them.

Well I love my psp and I used to buy lots of games for it, probably once a month. But after the PS3 started getting some good titles I have bought less and less in fact the last new game I bought for it was Logans Shadow. I'm interested in the games but it has become more of an issue of time to play with me and unfortunately the psp has been pushed to the back.

Note to Sony: Do not make PSP exclusives that appear on the PS2 within 6-12 months. Force developers to stick to their guns & help shift units!

Not every portable gamer (read: anyone who's picked up a gameboy in 20 years) is either a) aware of homebrew or b) doesn't want to do anything illegally but why would they pay more money than a DS for a system that has a non-existent movie/tv show library & the chance to spend 20% more at retail to play GTA: liberty city stories/vice city stories, R&C size matters, silent hill origins & syphon filter (games that were supposed to sell this console) when the ports will come out for a more patient wallet.

For the record: I don't do homebrew because I don't want to accidentally brick my psp in the process of doing it (because there is a good chance it WON'T work) & then have Sony laugh at me when I ask for a replacement

I hate people who say, I'm just downloading the games so I can try it out and if I like it, I'll buy it.

Don't try to justify pirating games...

I hope those who homebrew one day bricks their PSPs!!

I bought a lot of PSP games last year, though some were used games. Metal Gear Acid / Portable, GOW, Crisis Core, Lumines.

But I refused to purchase some games cause I knew I wouldn't enjoy them much after the 3rd hour playing them, and seriously, $30-$40 for a game I wouldn't be playing very soon after?

Curiously, I'm surprised that so many DS titles made the top 100 list. I would have thought that the DS piracy issue was more problematic, given that it's easier to pirate. As you can see, all the people who said it is Sony's prob is right.

Again, its been stated before in the commenst, but GIVE ME A BREAK, piracy, PSP doesnt sell games becaue the games they make SUCK ASS, lets be realistic, the greatest game i have seen thusfar is GOW-COO and if the developers took the time and effort to make the games like GOW COO than you wouldnt have people not buying games that suck.

I have bought several games but i have not dropped oney for games i cant be certain about.

I always pick up my favorite franchise games, but that only equaled 5 games in 2007.

The $40 price point has kept me from buying a few games right off the bat, sadly. When I read reviews that it'll be over in 3-4 hours and has no replay value..my $40 can be better spent elsewhere. (like on one of many PS2 games I missed that now cost pennies, woot!)

lol bricking PSPs is like ancient... Way to keep up with the news. You sound like bible thumpers blaming violence on Grand Theft Auto.

Anyway.. bitch about it all you guys want.. Its funny.

I say wait until next years numbers. When they'll include games people actually care about. Not niche titles like Crush and absolute crap like Star Wars Battlefronts.. which was supposed to be a hardware seller.. HA!

I hate these posts talking about piracy is hurting this or that and expecting us to feel bad. Maybe these companys should do a little more work in their anti piracy division, ever think of that? I pirate every single game I can, even more so for the psp. For one... have you ever went looking for a psp game that you loved only to see the store you went to had 10 or less psp games on the shelf? I have... its sad. Yet they complain about piracy.
If they took more time to protect their systems from the get go, this wouldnt happen. I can thinking of about 100 things they could do to stop piracy.. and thats just off the top of my head... which makes you think doesnt it... sure its hurting the devs games, but it sure is bringing in money on consoles sold ;). I know they sell a ton of handhelds due to people knowing they can play games for free.
Anyways, thats my take on it.. now I am off to play some PIRATED Killzone, Poor me.. I am such a bad guy.
