You could always just buy "Tokobots" from the PC Store.

Despite the current drought, the PSP has a rich list of old but good games. I doubt you've played them all. I'm currently playing PoPoLoCrois and Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 1. They're great.

If such no interest remains in US and Europe, I guess PSP2 will be Japan-only. Reminds me of Sony's Clie line of PDAs. People in US stopped buying them because they were expensive, and then the PDAs were sold in Japan only.

Nations other than Japan seems to not appreciate high-end technology.

I imagine if they'd actually release decent games for the system interest in the psp would increase. Japan gets all the cool stuff as usual.

Well, people don't buy the games and so developers stop making them. It's a vicious cycle. I've heard a lot of "$45 is too much for a portable game" on many forums in the last 3 years. The Japanese don't say this sentence; they just buy the games, and thus support the developers who release even more games, and the cycle continues.

It's not Sony's fault I must say. It's us.

Actually it is:
- SCEA/SCEE's fault for neglecting the PSP until things got bad.
- The retailers fault for being too wary of "this new handheld called the PSP" since supporting any non-nintendo handheld had always cost them before.
- The pirates fault, though I wouldn't say as much as everything else.
- The developers fault for landing the psp with shoddily made PS2 ports or games with pitiful loading times and then abandoning it when sales were up.
- The fault of the used game market since its increase has harmed game sales across all consoles these days from what I heard.
- SCEJ's fault for taking on 2 consoles and a handheld at once and expecting SCEA to follow suit without screwing up on all three.

Like the Dreamcast, it wasn't just one thing that brought us to this point, it was a number of things.

Little more than 2 weeks. It releases on the 20th of January, so closer to 4.

The short of it is: the psp is doing so well in Japan, I don't think Sony cares too much about how it does in the United States, or Europe for that matter. there aren't any games because there is hardly any third party developer interest in the platform, which means the only thing we get are regurgitated japanese games that have a very small niche market compared to the wider interests of the American gaming market.

It's stale.
