PSP is going strong but its not selling much software. Which kind of makes one wonders.

Cyrus3655879d ago

Yeah for some strange reason it's never move crazy amount of software like DS does. But it's like the story previous said, half the people use PSP as music player. And i'm sure other use it for soemthign else, like a media player, etc.

FirstknighT5879d ago

It's pretty easy to play pirated games on the PSP. That's why software doesn't sell.

DrWan5878d ago

you can easily private games for the DSL as well. how do you explain that.

Whoooop5879d ago

I pretty much use it as a media device, hear music and internet... I've never bought a game for it.

The only games I play are SNES ones with the emulator and I don't play that much anymore.

To tell you the truth the only game I play on it is Bust a Move which I love, but I got tired of it.

:)

Bathyj5879d ago

Wheres Yakuza?

Is that it at #2 under some seird Japanese name. I thought Yakuza was Japanese.

Why the hell arent they buying more PS3's?

Cyrus3655879d ago

Yakuza is the American name, and yeah that's it's at #2.

posted by that same guy who works for VGCRAP ---CYRUS

VG overestimated x360 sales by 200k for JAN+FEB and downgraded PS3 sales by 130k

whats even more shocking is the fact that VG didnt even fix those figures . rather they claim NPD was wrong???????????????????????

VG overestimated x360 sales for 2007 by over a MILLION

This guy CYRUS posts all these VGCRAP related news.

Wah wah Waah doodlebrains

Just like bigots dissmis anything that contradicts them so do you with vg.

It contradicts you on hardware sales, sold, software sales.
When was the last vg had a ps3 in the top ten worldwide without a 360. Now when was the last time it had 360 in top 10 withour ps3

answer 29th for 360
and
hold on, for ps3 I'm still looking.

Doodlebrain has overestimated ps3 sales by 2 million and underestimated 360 by 2milion.

Please mark Doodlebrain as spam.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto4h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger884h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis21h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast20h ago

It's worth a play through today.

gold_drake13h ago
