We don't know what's wrong with the Japanese kids these days. They're into this thing called ... PSP? What is that? We hear that if ingested improperly, "PSP" can cause all sorts of brain damage.

Hahaha, what a coincidence!
At the beginning of the school year, my school showed us a video depicting the rules. One of the rules was "no electronics," and they listed some devices like iPods, phones, and some "PCP" device, with a picture of a pink PSP shown. We made fun of that pretty much all year.

Alot of it we don't get, true. I feel that Japan dosn't understand how much we appreciate alot of the games they don't release here. >;( So it causes people like me to start hoplaplxing. ;)

The problem is Japanese games don't sell as well as they do in...umm...Japan. Which is why Japanese devs are reluctant to bring them to other places. It also doesn't help that good psp games don't sell as well they should. ex. Crisis Core. If all of us embraced RPGs like how we do FPSs, then I don't think this problem would be as big as it is right now.
I've always wanted to learn the Japanese, and now I'm even more inclined to do so. Then I could start importing games like nobody's business.

Well said, it's quite obvious to even the people who don't play games religiously. Alot of Japanese games are related to other things most people in America wouldn't understand and thats why they never sold, or they were just to out of this world for us. But I think today gamers and even some of the "people" have more appreciation for Japanese titles. And Japan has been more open to us lately but I still want more.

Indeed. I've been wanting to learn the language for a while, too.
We're missing a lot of the cool japanese stuff, specially on PSP. And even tho I understand a little of spoken japanese, written japanese looks exceptionally hard to learn =S

Are all these Japanese playing Monster Hunter? Because that looks like the only game that consistently sells well on our platform.

I thought I was the only one who used psponme!!! :D
Also, Monster Hunter is AWESOME!!! You can easily crack hundreds of hours, and still not get enough. I've been playing it for frickin ages now, but it's still keeps me occupied. Just the feeling of takin down something bigger than you. And when you do it with friends, i cant even explain the fun!!! Blah blah blah, blah blah blah......

Man I knew psp would be great! I traded in my worthless paperweight Nintendo DS to get a ps3 game [uncharted] and got a psp [big one-my brother] for 50$. He got the new silver one anyway. It seems my brothers have also traded in their DS to. I got to say PSP is great-Driver 76,MGS PO, and Burnout Revenge is great. Those beat the DS out of the water. ANd they do so in japan!

No way, japanese kids like psp, what a shocker! *sarcasm* Of course they buy psp from japanese company sony and wii and ds from japanese company nintendo, they're xenophobic. If its made by a japanese company regardless of what crap it is japanese will buy it.
