Wow, I wonder how many of those are PSP BbS bundles?

 

[Nintandy]

I'm not surprised! So many people will probably buy a PSP for this game alone. I picked up the Crisis Core bundle a while back, knowing that Dissidia, Agito XIII and Birth By Sleep were somewhere on the horizon. It's a long and steady road, but titles are slowly being released, one by one.

Well, there goes some people's arguments that people won't buy a console for a game.

 

[Gexus]

I'm getting so anxious now! The English version should under all circumstances be around 70-90% complete by now. WHY HAVEN'T THEY ANNOUNCED IT YET???

Well, there goes some people's arguments that people won't buy a console for a game.

But will it work here is the question. I, for one, wouldn't get a game system for one game. I only see one or two other decent games on the PSP, so I'm not buying it.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Not everyone will buy a new system for one game, but plenty of people will. I bought a PS3 because of FF Versus XIII. That was when I was in the 7th grade. Now I don't even care about Versus anymore. My mom uses that thing more than I do.

That's not really a surprise. The only reason one of my friends wanted a PSP was for BBS. That was until he was some of the other games. There really aren't many good games for the PSP though.

 

[Silver_Soul]

well its the reason im getting a psp
so im not really surprised

Man, 360 sucks over in Japan. They must hate it.

 

[αsiя]

lol at the GO .

 

[sora4sky]

Yeah!!!!! PSP and BBS FTW!!!! but man PSP go WTH why they have it in there......

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

PSPGo is so pointless. XD Love that sliver it has.

Yay for BBS. Well, this game is my reason for getting my own PSP. I can also buy my own Crisis Core to play on it. I'm also anticipating the 3rd Birthday and MGS: PW to play. And AgitoXIII.

 

[kluck]

I am one of those people buy a psp just for this game. However im also going to pick up a copy of dissidia and all the other final fantasy remakes on PSP.

These numbers look good, it would be a dumb move not to bring the bundle outside of Japan.

Woah! BbS did all that?! Damn! The PSP will keep out-selling other consoles to an extent! Wait until MGS PW and Agito get released! 0_0!

 

[tomokii]

The power of KH! I already have a PSP, but BBS will stop turning the thing into a very expensive paperweight soon. It's been like that for well over a year now. x_x

PSPGo beside PSP is just...wow, but it's like the PSPGo doesn't exist anyway. I haven't seen a anyone carry one anywhere. o_o

 

[FATE]

Not surprised.

What I am surprised about though, is many people saying the PSP doesnt have that many games good enough to buy the system. I just find that baffling.

I mean sure, the PSP's library isnt at DS level sadly, but it still has MANY great games from many genres.

As for the PSP Go lol, well, I think the sales numbers are pretty much expected, even for Sony. Most people still buy games from retails. The PSP Go is just a small push for the transition for digital distribution. It was never meant to be 'the next big thing', pretty much like how DS lite was for the DS fat.

it's safe to say now that i am one of those people who bought a psp just for bbs... i'm going to borrow a friends crisis core while i wait
