I agree with norman29, they have much more important things to do right now then buy video games. The entire country is still in danger because of the nuclear problem, plus they need to start rebuilding the entire civilization, its such a mess and so sad. God bless them all.
I'm telling you, Sony; loading up your next handheld is a bad idea. You should have made the NGP towards cost effectiveness. The price is the most important factor in this market.
"You mean buying a PSP instead of a 3DS is rebuilding civilization?" Exactly what I was thinking. "Maybe because" they're busy rebuilding, they bought more PSPs than 3DS? lol
Completely agree with you. The NGP is shaping up to be something impressive. However, it can be the most powerful portable device in the world, but if it's priced too high, people won't buy it.
@orange cows Another alternative would be to re-design and re-brand the psp and aim it at the kid market while leaving NGP for older folk who can afford it.
I think it's mainly due to not being any Must Own 3DS titles compared to PSP where it had FFIV:Complete and FF:Dissidia 2 that week. Probably waiting for titles like Legend of Zelda:OoT, MGS3D, Kid Icarus, etc.
aaa,.. it is like 370 in europe,.. PSP has software,.. that has something to do with it (It used to be important to gamers) I think psp will dominate Japan in next two years in japan,.. hell the world (because it is cheaper, has really fucking awesome software if you are into JRPGs,.. hell I've bought it for YS 1,2 remakes) this system is awesome ,..
What, its not like because a new console comes out one dies. Both are doing healthy which is a good thing, if the PSP or DS died just because the 3DS came out I would be disappointed in people.
the 3ds was the top selling system of the week. Not the psp 3000 or the psp go. Sure if you add them together. But is that fair? no not if you dont count the other ds models which are also selling. And I dont remember it being news last week when the 3ds outsold it by 30 thousand.
Second of all anyone who expected the 3ds to be the top seller every week for the next 7 years is an idiot.
There were many many many months and years were the psp and ds just went back and forth depending on what released that week or month
Thirdly the psp had a new ff title and the 3ds is just starting out
@ disagrees.
Logic too tough?
@ below Selling out wont happen since the 3ds has the right amount of stock. And its convienent they are the same now when you need the numbers to add them to bash something else
bottom line. The 3ds was the top selling system this week with the 3000 number 2

Not that any of this really matters, but 3DS is consider as "next-gen" handheld while all PSP and PSP go are pretty much the same system.
But considering the success of DS I would have guessed 3DS to do better. (like be sold out for first month or something.)
Never the less, it seems to be doing well enough considering the lack of games for the system.
Nintendo might struggle to make consumers see the that 3DS is a brand new handheld and not just a new version of the DS, but I wasn't expecting that one.
Whaaaaaat?

Already being outsold in US aswell
Can't wait to see how the NGP does overall.
