After Crisis Core, there is absolutely nothing on the reserve list for the system. I thought it was selling well - what gives?

05/06 R-Type Command
06/17 Secret Agent Clank
You've posted, and I'm not kidding, like a good portion of the games coming out for it ALL YEAR. There isn't even anything on the list past October. It's friggin' nuts. I can't fathom a piece of hardware selling so well that gets absolutely no software support. Himuro killed PSP. :-\
-
well dont blame me, i bought lumines and shaun of the dead!
-
There's skype for PSP

I heard the Bionic Commando PSN/XBLA/PC game was originally developed for the PSP. Poor software sales drove the title to the downloadable services.
I was really looking forward to more capcom goodness when the mega man and ghouls and ghost games were announced three year ago. Unfortunately, they bombed big time :-\. My head would explode if Mega Man Powered Up 2 were to be announced for anything.

Star Ocean: First Departure and Second Evolution :bow :bow :bow

Wilco, why do you guys(gamestop) tell people Wheelman is coming out early summer? Is there some secret Midway announcement coming?
No idea.
Himuro, Wipeout Pulse. And as I said to demi, almost all those games listed are within the next two months. The other half of your list hasn't even been announced for US release! R-Type, Wipeout, Wild Arms, Secret Agent Clank and Space Invaders are the only ones on your list you can even pre-order.
-
himuro likes to imagine he can understand wapanese, like he can understand THAC0
-
Edit: Forget it.
-
I thought Hot Shots Golf: Portable 2, Star Ocean: First Departure, Echochrome, Final Fantasy: Dissidia, KOF-Collections: The Orochi Saga, SNK Arcade Classics were all announced for US release for this year? I mean, FF:D and Hot Shots Golf P2 haven't been announced but they're from popular series so they don't really need announcements for a confirmation.

Himuro, did you import Hot Shots 2? Or has it been released in the states already?
No, but I know it's totally coming. I'm importing Umihara Kawase though. Along with some other import psp games.
-
echochrome looks pretty neat
-
I mean why should it take them a year to release Echochrome? That makes no sense
-
it's spring in n.a. and a bit earlier in japan iirc
-
After Patapon there's nothing I wanted.
-
Spring NA? Why is the demo this week Japan only then?
-
i meant summer
my bad
-
:'(
-
Yes. I've already been saying for a few weeks that the PSP will be dead soon. Who's going to keep releasing PSP games when so few people buy them? Unless God of War shows some significant improvements, everyone including Sony is just going to give up. Still, it's been a fun ride. Enjoy your free games while they last.
-
hey, i bought 12 psp games way back when, i did my part
psp2, download only, drm up your ass so far you can smell it
-
Because too many fuckers are pirating the games contributing to already shitty software sales.
-
i bought a psp game today
-
I was vehemently against downloading PSP games before but now I don't care anymore. PSP's going to die regardless of what a few of us do. No point in buying games for a dead system. I'm going to get my fattie hacked once I'm done taking the board exams.
-
i was going to sell my psp before it was miraculously enhanced
the way i figure it, i was never going to buy a psp game again anyway, so what the hell
-
I really hope software doesn't completely dry up
-
I own like fifteen PSP games. I'm doing my part, not my fault Himuro kills everything he touches.
-
the PSP will be the first system killed by piracy.
The Dreamcast had many other contributing factors, but the only dang reason the PSP hasn't taken off like a rocket is because !EeT Ha><orS.
-

GOW and Crisis Core are probably the last major attempts at selling PSP games. If these two don't sell well, I don't think we'll be seeing any more new projects for the PSP.
-
I hope we get the Star Ocean remakes translated, at least. :(
-
The PSP's inherently flawed design is a major reason why piracy is so commonplace. Gamers are actually better off with pirated copies because they get better battery life and loading times by playing games off a memory stick.
At least on the PC, there are some advantages to owning legitimate copies, such as online play, not having to hassle with cracks, or being able to apply new patches . PSPs are very easy to hack and their games are so quick and easy to download, that it really shouldn't be surprising that the majority of PSP owners choose to pirate.

PSP wouldn't have sold as well as it has if it wasn't for hax0rz

Himuro pirated the entire PSP library and single-handedly killed the PSP.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

They need a testing ground before they port them to Wii
-
Jesus. One of the torrents has over 10,000 leachers.
-
Holy shit :lol :lol
Still, even if you add them all up, you're seeing less than 50k sales go to piracy. I think people just don't want to buy PSP games.
And 40 is WAYYYYYY too expensive for handheld stuff. Even DS stuff isn't selling gangbusters at 35. FF12RW kinda bomba'd, as will Crystal Chronicles.
-
handhelds need to go online or use SUPER ENCRYPTED MEDIA to end piracy once and for all.
-
I would be all over a Steam-like service for the next PSP.
-
Dude, 40 is pushing it but still. I personally think that 20-30 is the ideal price for a handheld game and they should rise it above that.
-
30 is the right price, 35 max.
-

Dissidia
Monster Hunter 2Gp
Star Ocean 2
That would probably amount to "lots" for a person who is working at EGM right now, considering they might be jobless soon.
:lol OUCH
-
$30 is definitely the sweet spot.
-
We had a ton of reserves for God of War, but very small pick up percentage.
-
Dude keep me out of this I love my psp!!!
You're famous for killing that which you profess to love (See: anime).
-
Himuro is like the O.J. Simpson of the entertainment industry.
-
There were so many pre-order promotions for God of War and a ton of folks pre-ordered it ages when they thought it was coming out LAST year (placeholder dates lolz), that it's likely a good portion of folks simply forgot. I really think I'm going to be stuck with a ridiculous amount of backstock. Unlike Patapon, where we got like 10 reserves, but everyone picked up their copies.
I think God of War will do a decent amount of business, but the well looks extremely dry after Crisis Core. There is literally nothing for us to recommend to customers to reserve afterwards in terms of a big, mainstream game.
-
Personally, I was just wondering, because someone traded in one of those white PSP Slims in mint condition and was tempted to buy it used (with discount!) and pick up a copy of God of War since I have a long plane trip ahead of me. But, I don't want to buy a PSP and not have anything to play for it in the near future.
-
Can't you call the people that pre-ordered? I thought you usually took down people's number when they ordered something.
-
The ARN calls all people who pre-ordered the game a day before its release. It's that dumb "Hi, I'm Aeris from GameStop, calling to remind you that your copy of [enter game here] will be available for pick up at [enter time/date here]!" message that you get.
-
I've never gotten that message, but that's because I haven't pre-ordered a game since the PS1 days. :lol
At any rate, even if the PSP were to die tomorrow, you'd have a shitton of games to play. I've put buckets of time into that little gadget - over 100 hours on Tales of the World alone. I don't pirate shit either,
( :piss Himuro :piss2 )
and I already have 15 games plus like ten more I'll eventually buy.
-
I don't want to spend $100 on a dying platform.
-
Not gonna happen. Sony's making a profit off the hardware, they're not gonna kill one of the few gaming things that's bringing in money.
-
it's not like the ds is any better software wise.

Actually DS is doing way better. Pokemon and Cooking Mama sold a ton of copies last year.
-
:piss casual games :piss2
and like the wii, it's mostly Nintendo games that are selling.

What do you guys do with preorders that aren't picked up for like a year?
-
The money stays there until that person cancels their pre-order.
-
Even for like 5 years? There must be a cutoff date right?
Is your computer cluttered with NHL2k and Sonic Adventure 2 preorders when you look at them all?
-
It says stuff like SKU NO LONGER AVAILABLE: $5 DEPOSIT
-
Well it looks like gamers killed the only current gen console that actually has games. Congrats fucknuts

You really think that the PSP library is that good? The PSP is a nice handheld but almost all its games have better equivalents on home systems.
-
PSP rocks
-
As a machine that can also play old ROMs, then I guess the PSP really rocks. If we're just talking about the PSP's own games, I still feel that most of them aren't different enough from the stuff that I can play at home.

re2 is pretty good on psp
i like psx games on psp because they don't look so awful and dated in shrunken form

psp is mostly arcade and pick up and play gaming. it is the best portable ever
-
Game gear says no, himumu.
-
Hahahaha. I still have my Game Gear. That thing ran out of batteries in like 10 minutes. The only game I enjoyed on my GG was Outrun and Fatal Fury and that one Sonic game where you could be Sonic or Tails. That was a REALLY good game.
-
I own more good PSP games than DS games these days
-
i don't think i was ever satisfied with the DS platform
i was super hyped and got a launch unit, but it just never materialized
whereas the psp was a great launch unit and continued to be good. the launch games are still stellar.
-
my problem with both handhelds is the lack of capcom support, and by capcom i mean MEGAMAN.
2 average ZX games and 2 psp remakes with no sequels.
ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.
-
almost every ds game purchase i made was disappointing. Out of the 10 plus games I have bought for ds, I only like 4-5
-
I have some great DS games, but I have A LOT of great PSP games too. People who go oh DS has the library, well yeah, it has the GBA Library. Does that count? It shouldnt, but Nintendo Spin Doctors always pull this shit.
-
well...you can play gba games on the psp.
-
oh yeah, well, you can play old arcade games on PSP, does that count? no, it shouldn't, but PSP spin doctors always pull that shit
Darkstalkers
Street Fighter
Salamander
Parodius
not so hot anymore is it
looks like PSP fails, no wonder it sucks
-
Oh hey demi, eat shit ha ha
-
Yes, the h/w is selling VERY well
the software? not so much.
I wonder why :lol
I DO wonder why, actually. The library is extremely good.
almost every ds game purchase i made was disappointing. Out of the 10 plus games I have bought for ds, I only like 4-5
That's about how I feel. To be honest, the only DS game I can truly say I REALLY enjoyed (and still enjoy) was Contra 4. There were plenty of other GOOD games, but nothing that really stuck with me.

Ah, yes. I had forgotten about the piracy. :( That's really pretty sad. I mean, I do enjoy the homebrew scene on PSP and the fact that you can enhance many games via memstick loading and a higher clock speed, but it really has hurt the market.
PSP piracy is just too damn easy to pull off and it seems to have become common knowledge.
-
I bought Nintendogs for the DS. Imported it lololol
-
psp piracy is easy as fuck and it makes gaming much better as well (load times, battery..etc..)
while the ds is...wait how many versions of this distinguished mentally-challenged m4 or whatever? OH FUCK IT I AM BUYING THE GAMES.
maybe sony should have went with a cartridge/flash or whatever media like the ds.
-

I remember the PSP launching with what I'd consider the best launch lineup in the history of gaming... Lumines, Ridge Racer, Wipeout Pure, Metal Gear Acid, some other games... but then for a good solid 8 months there was absolutely NOTHING coming out for it. DS had a horrible lineup, but by the middle of the first year, I'm like yeah this is gonna kick ass. The best days of the DS are still to come, DQ9 obviously being the killer app for the thing.

So that's the best one out right now, huh? I'll look search for it when I get home from work.
-
"best" is arguable, since majority have the same functions - the flashcard scene is extremely saturated, so I just picked the one that has the best support
i use an M3 Real (formerly M3 Simply), which comes with a GBA cart (and Rumble Cart), that lets you play GBA games
-
I still think that slashing every PSP game by $15 would probably generate more revenue than keeping them at their current prices.

you think 40 dollars is bad for a handheld game? The EB across the road from work sells 1st party DS games for $80 and Dracula X Chronicles was $100 :-X
-
load times on a handheld though :-X no one has time for that shit, Sony had it coming
but Im loving my PSP, Im glad I finally got one. Virtua Tennis is godly
-
i don't understand the load times complaints. they're not THAT bad
-
i don't understand the load times complaints. they're not THAT bad
Me either. But we've got PSP slims so they're a lot faster. I know that Wipeout Pure loads faster on my psp slim than it did on my original PSP, if just a tad.
