Japanese kids prefer the NES to the PSP

[Thanatos 2.0]

Doesn't surprise me, even my Friends PSP pretty much has a complete library of all the classic NES and SNES games.

same opinion. there are so many people that are missing the joy of homebrew psps and i feel bad for them

Me too, thats why I need to help all my friends get the best out of their psps possible

The PSP can't be that unpopular many people like it and in my view it can acheive more than the DS, the only thing it doesn't have is super amazing games.

Working a few times a month in Japanese elementary schools (including today), I can vouch for this survey. The kids don't care about the PSP. About the only group that the PSP sells to is high school students. For young kids and adults, the DS has no close competition among portables (and for adults, it has no close competition, period).

By the way, I know your period key isn't broken. You used it once at the end there, and now you just have to practice using it a little more.

The biggest thing that PSP users on this site don't seem to realize is that out of the lets say 25million PSPs sold, there are MAYBE 1 million people who have homebrew-enabled their PSP. So while you may consider something like real games for the system a sidenote, something to be downloaded and run through your ISO players when it suits you, to the other 96% of users, they are essential and what matters. To put that in simpler terms, if you were to get 24 other PSP users chosen at randomly into a room with you, odds are you would be the only one who is playing homebrew on it.

Not only that, but you should consider the age group that the system is targeted at vs the DS and who this survey was questioning.

Very good points you make. It speaks the truth. Who knows just how many homebrew-enabled PSP's there are out there. But one thing for sure is that the PSP's homebrew scene has had a bigger influence over how SONY handles the PSP than any other homebrew scene has ever influenced its maker.

Yeah I figure part of this is the fact that the PSP is more targeted for people who are older and/or are "gamers". The DS is more of a chlid friendly, casual game playing system. At least that is the crowd it wants to hit most. But with the huge amount of games it even hits home with old favorites for us gamers. Most kids like simple games anyway so thats why more like the NES as opposed to the PSP.
