Ah, New Zealand. Kiwi fruit, Peter Jackson and, above, rugby. Pencil in "Sony-lovers" for another thing the island nation is famous for. Last November and December, Sony moved 21,800 PS2s units, which accounts for 70 percent of the consoles sold. Says Sony Computer Entertainment New Zealand's Warwick Light (killer name!):

It is no surprise to us that PlayStation 2 was the number one selling gaming platform for Christmas. As the PlayStation 2 offering goes from strength to strength, more consumers are buying into the value proposition of the hardware and the unrivalled range of software on offer. Consumers obviously saw exceptional value in PlayStation 2.
Okay. That's not such a big deal. The PS2 is and has been a big seller. But what is interesting is that the PSP sold 9,560 units and captured 73 percent of the handheld market during November and December 2006. Wow, what the DS is to Japan, the PSP is to New Zealand.

I own both
DS- better games
PSP- better hacking
But I like the PSP a little bit more because I like free stuff, but only by a little.

I agree with the last poster, where the DS has better games and the PSP has better hacking.

What do I do most on the PSP? Play Nintendo games :P

Well, actually, now I'm playing Um Jammer Lammy, but that's a different story...

But... yeah, I hope New Zealand knows about the homebrew scene, because if not, then they are missing out!

[the one and only]

lol not likely, i live in new zealand, sheep dont know about much.
most people i met play the normal psp games, i've downgraded a few.

eat that!

Im from New Zealand and I run homebrew though there are quite a few people at my school that wont do it because they are afraid they will break it so they continue to update to the highest firmware every time it is released. Also the PSP value pack is $440 here.

Thats got to be a first in the entire world? lol

[emuking]

lies! lies! lies!
j/k though it is a freakin' miracle

[sonic reducer]

im from new zealand and its true alot of people do have the fear of "what if it breaks" purely because of the cost of the psp and so forth here. But most people also (that i know) are heavily into the homebrew scene and have their ear closer to the ground of whats happening more than anyone else. And the best part (from what i've seen atleast) is its not for the wrong reasons (isos and such) people purely do it to because they want their psp their way.

The hell with the PSP, a couple of days ago I started thinking of when I was a kid, and omg, I want to F Lucy Lawless and give her a baby.

i really dont know about the better games. The graphics on the DS sucks, and the psp is way better compared to the DS. I hate the nintendo ds, u have to buy an addon in order to play mp3, and videos. Wassup with that? Sooner or later, the PSP will probably to emulate the Nintendo DS!!

PSP IS THE BEST!!!!:thumbup:
