What a difference in attitudes on both sides of the Pacific. While PSP continues its bleak struggle in the States, it has become a regular staple of the Japanese market. Even without a major new game, PSP manages to fight off fierce competition from the Wii. We wonder how much the sales will go up by once that
fanservice-filled fighting game comes out.

You can see the effect MGS4 is having, PS3 has just jumped from around 7000 to 10,000 and rising :O
As for PSP, MH2 hype is dying out, we need a recap.

If I didn't own any console, and had to choose, I would not be getting a PSP in North America. No 1Seg, no GPS, scarce video support (virtually none, if you don't include 3rd part programs), no new PS1 or PSP games, etc. etc. etc.

Exactly - Sony's support for the USA is pathetic.
And people try to blame piracy... LOL

So wrong, video support is great. any video you can play on your Ipod can play on the PSP.Sony has released a PSP Media Manager, the only problem I have with the PSP is the games that are not made for it specifically.

Is the panda shooting the rainbow OUT of it's mouth? Or is someone shooting it IN to his mouth? Think about it :)
Also, when is Capcom gonna release the Monster Hunter Expansion in America/Europe? They've released every single one so far, apart for this one.
I think Capcom are the strongest psp supporters. They've released many quality games and I think they are still going to.

Expect PS3 sales to completely explode next week. Maybe if we're lucky it will beat the Wii ;). I don't know if the PSP can keep up though, because the games that caused the rise are slowing down.
Awesome Pic by the way!
