GTAIV won't be released in Japan this month and even when it does come over there it won't do much to affect sales.

I never got why people are so concerned with sales numbers in Japan.

I think this has to to do with the release of FF7 Crisis Core. I bought a psp to play the game as well.

^Same here. I'd been thinking about getting one. FF Crisis Core was the little push i needed to pick one up.

and the sales are doing good because they can install the hacked firmware on there psp handhelds and play illegally downloaded games this is only why the console is doing good have you ever noticed how if a console can be hacked to run illegal games how quick the sales of that console take off look at the nintendo ds

Who did $ony bribe to do this feat ?

This has nothing to do with Crisis Core, CC was released in Japan long before it hit America, as usual. If anything it has to do with Monster Hunter Portable G 2, which sold by the bucket load when it got released. Also, the DS is in the hands of somewhere around 1 in 4 people in Japan. So the only place it has to go is down. Now people are moving on the PSP and it is selling strong, because of that game.
