is this just in Japan or what? since when was the psp the top selling anything?

[NWR_insanolord]

Yes, Media Create means it's Japan.

[Mop it up]

Why is the PSP selling relatively well? Are there any games currently selling well on it, or are the Japanese buying it for its many other uses?

[Shaymin]

Monster Hunter and all of its clones/knockoffs. Plus a lot of JRPGs.

I knew the headline was wrong, the PSP was not the best selling system. The best selling system was the DS as usual.

If you combine both skus of the DSi, you are right

[Shaymin]

If they did it like NPD, the 3 SKUs of the DS (Lite/i/LL) would be head to head with the PSP-3000 and PSP Go...
