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

[Cyrus365]

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.

[FirstknighT]

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

[DrWan]

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

[Whoooop]

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.

:)

[Bathyj]

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?

[Cyrus365]

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.

xBox 360: 2,568 (-7%) [2,776] God thats low.
+PSP: 63,494 (+4%) [61,161] ;-P Cool;)

[DarkSniper]

XBOX 360 continues to be the joke of the country. Which is why Microsoft is nothing but the laughingstock of the gaming industry.

Microslaves gloat on telling the Sony Snipers to WAIT B3YOND, but with XBOX 360 being on the tail end of all jokes, it's easier to simply LAUGH B3YOND at Microsoft's own stupidity.

$niper

Very well-done for the PSP, especially considering that none of the top 10 software titles are PSP titles.

The big question for me is: What kind of game is "Shugo Chara!Three Eggs and the Joker in Love!"?!?!
