By Heath | January 27, 2011 at 2:08 am
Many have rumored that the PSP2 may have graphical power near that of the PS3. In turn, many have wondered, assuming that were true, about the possible battery life of the machine. Well, good news and bad news, sort of:

PSP price drop for Europe
By Heath | October 12, 2010 at 3:40 am
As of Oct. 27, SCEE is ready to drop the price of the PSPgo from 250 euros to 179, while still maintaining the offer of havin g10 free PSN downloads; it will meanwhile lower the price of the more popular PSP 3000 from 169 euros to 119. PSP 3000 bundles will meanwhile drop from 189 to 139 euros. For our surely confused audience in America, a “euro” is kind of like a dollar, except magical. It is said that this discount will last until at least December 31, after which it is subject to change.

NieR Replicant strongly outsells NieR Gestalt in Japanese debuts
By Heath | May 6, 2010 at 9:15 pm
As Japanese software sales figures emerge, the PS3’s NieR Replicant, as expected, handily outsold the Xbox 360’s NieR Gestalt, as the former debuted at #1 and is outselling its 360 counterpart about five-to-one. These are alternate versions of what is essentially the same game, though North America only got the Gestalt version on both consoles, under the less specific title of Nier. Complete data for April 19-25 below:

Famitsu software sales figures + analysis (4/12 – 4/18)
By Heath | April 21, 2010 at 8:40 am
Overall, it’s a slow time for sales. Not a lot of software is moving in Japan right now, which makes the figures shown by games like Fist of the North Star, Tomodachi Collection, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Yakuza 4 during these recent times all the more impressive.

Since the announcement of Monster Hunter Portable 3rd for PSP, Mon-Han Fever is once again sqeeping the nation — ef, that’s a typo but I don’t wanan fix it. “Sqeeping” is the new “sweeping” from here on out, trendsters. In other news, I just typed “ef.” I dunno what’s up today, kids. Anyway, for three weeks straight, it’s been ranked as the most-wanted game, the longtime champ before that being Dragon Quest X. That, plus the promised pictures of the beautiful cherry blossoms below.
