It might be true, but _stupid_ joytiq forgot to tell you that Japanese always payed more for their games. So as stated above in the comments: $85 = $60 USD really.
----- ummm Loco roco hasn't come out yet in the states, Wonder what would happen if I listed all the Japanese released DS games that came out in the past few months., ... you forgot big brain academy, and if your gonna put down loco roco and we don't count released Japanese games.. ------- -> don't, I said don't even start with brain academy....reviewed it's barely a 75% title anyways.. I counted loco roco in because it's out in the eu (where I'm at). There is no way we can count jap games in as there's only 1 reviews source (famtsu) + we don't know for sure we'll ever see them in the west.
------- then lets be fair and put upcoming DS games!!! Tenchu, Mech Assault, Star Fox, Mario Hoops, Harvest Moon DS, Lego Star Wars II, MegaMan ZX and there is more but I will stop there. ------ --> What's so special there? There are some games anounced for the psp too, such as: FF: Crisis Core, Mgs: Portable Ops, Silent Hill, Killzone, Ultimate Ghosts & Ghouls, Ace Combat, Metal Slug Anthology, Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank, Power Stone, all those Tales of games That's just to name a few.
The psp came out about half a year later in most territories, costs about 100$ more than the DS and had no hardware renewal. It was on par with the ds in april (before nds lite) What more do you ppl want ?!
ok if we look at the last 2/3 months: psp: tekken, loco roco, valkyrie profile, field commander, monster hunter freedom nds: NSMB and......oh wait, that's it then...
