Japan is seeing pink...Pink PSPs that is

Pink PSP


Yup, we know, most of you do not like the Pink PSP. It's too bad that only Japan PSPs are coming in three new colors, the blue PSP (coming on December 21), the silver PSP (out on December 14), and the Pink PSP which debuted last November 22. Well, even if most of you abhor the Pink gaming handheld from Sony, Japan is apparently going ga-ga over it.

According to reports from ITmedia, the Pink PSP is doing quite well, with 70% of female audience belonging to the 20-40 demographic buying one for themselves (wait, does that mean the remaining 30% are guys?!). Well, we don't really know why they are buying it, could be to play LocoRoco or to get that Samantha Thavasa pink pouch. This just goes to show that something as simple as changing colors could expand the PSP's market.

This is welcome news for Sony as there are reports that the Nintendo DS is dominating the Japanese market. With two more PSP colors coming in, we wonder how that would affect Sony's performance.

 » i agree
They need to release different colors, they dont' realize how much people go crazy for this stuff. i mean people actually gave up their old DS for the red one, and ds lite sacrificing homebrew, for a different color. Their kind of late if you ask me but, it would help out sales.

you need to go back to school.
Lets read what it says
"with 70% of female audience belonging to the 20-40 demographic buying one for themselves"
(that means 70% of that demographic. Men are not included in this demographic.)

That's strange here in Portugal there are White and Pink PSP's in Stores.


   Re: Drifter (Unregistered) - 2006-12-13
 » where?

Probably only in Lisbon, Portugal near the Algarve area is barren of any kind of video game shop. There aren't even commercials on TV advertising video games, but they are plenty of naked broads on there. Thats the only upside to chop land and its TV. Rest of chop TV is nothing but cheesy soaps doing their best over dramatized rip off of the O.C. It sounds like this fuzinho fuzinho. No seriously thats how it sounds like, fuzinho fuzinho. Thats all there is to it folks. If you can say fuzinho your fluent in portuguese, I am. I live here.
