I still say the PS2 has the best RPG's from any system out right now.
I'm not that big on RPG's so I still have plenty of life left in my PS2 (even though I'm always on PS3) but I can definitely see how the PS3 is lacking in RPG's.

yeah for real I'm so tired of hearing about anything japeneese! isn't this site american based, you know it's bad when an american website talks about only the product in another country, but then again you might only have 2 updates a week if all you talked about was american related items

Japan is the only region which announces sales data weekly.Hence the seeming bias.p.s. To all the morons who don't seem to know better, "bias" is a noun; if you're describing how someone is, the word is "biased".

I agree, but more for the games than the sales updates.
I think it's nice to hear the PSP is popular. It ensures a PSPII, PSP Phone, or whatever will be following in it's footsteps.
But I've seen game after game after game on this site that are are developed in Japan and are designed to appeal especially to the tastes of the Japaneses game player. I happen to prefer games that are made with North American preferences in mind because, surprise, I live in the USA. I loved Chili Con Carnage, Twisted Metal, and SOCOM, but though I've been known to play anime-inspired games on occasion, they're only a small part of the video games I enjoy.
There's a reason the PSP is big in Japan and not as big in Europe and N. America. It's a no-duh kind of reason. Unless we see more games targeted at us, it'll be difficult to build and maintain excitement in our regions.

No wonder. The Japanese understand video gaming. They make good games and they know 'how' to enjoy them. Great pic btw!

That pic is around 3 years old and I still get mesmerized by it.
Y'know in other countries in Europe and Asia, they talk about stuff that's American. That's why more people from Asian and Europe know more about us than we know about them.
So how about you quit your bitching about psp news from Japan and go pleasure yourself to some John Wayne movies to make yourself feel better. What a tard.

They might also know about us because we've been the dominant world power for quite a while now. They kind of HAVE to know about us. ;-)
Plus, most other countries teach at least some English in their public schools. So they can understand and appreciate (at least on some level) games and articles from over here.
Most Americans do not know Japanese, however. So a large chunk of Pspfanboy's articles are nothing but white noise to us.
(I'm not saying it's a "good" thing that we are clueless about other countries, but your take on it sounds like its coming from a 12 year old.)

I agree. I am unable to read these Japanese (?) posts about Japanese PSP sales even though they pertain to the PSP, this website's subject of focus. Why can't PSP Fanboy write all their articles in English; I wouldn't see white noise if they did. If only more people outside of the Anglosphere learned English to even better proficiency, then they could import PSPs from the dominant power in the world (the European Union, with its existing economy, right?) and I would again be able to read these posts without suffering from an epileptic fit.
By the way, I'm twelve years old (as your extrasensory perception will likely tell you). This post thus automatically holds no relevance despite any points it may bring up. It looks like my point, and anyone who agrees with it, must be wrong.

haha. Not surprised that the PSP is No. 1. Everyone in Japan already has 2 DSes already. What else are they to spend their money on?

ha haaa!!!!!!!!!!!
.. y'know it's been a lil' quiet amongst you DS fanboys out there. lmao..
i've long since predicted that the psp was going to rule even before it's game collection expanded into this library, pardon me- oasis of games that you see before you at your local consumer-robbing GameStop. can't help but remember how i openly pledged my support for the jesus of hand helds and got ridiculed and insulted in posts left to right.
Now look at you!! You salivate at the mere sight of a GameStop employee, begging for a DS revival!!
NOW WHO'S LAUGHING?????????? BWAA HAA HAAAA!!!!!!!
