Yes, we know. Another day, another half-dozen headlines featuring the inexplicably popular adventure that is Final Fantasy VII. The popularity of the franchise cannot be ignored -- according to the latest sales charts from Japan, Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core sold around 470,000 copies in a single week. This also prompted the sale of nearly 100,000 PSP units, which actually topped the number of Nintendo DS Lite units sold. This is something to be celebrated!

Even though the DS had to bow out of its almost unending chart domination, the release of Crisis Core didn't take the number one spot on new releases. Pokemon is still the most popular, advancing over the city of Midgar with about a 100,000 unit lead. Regardless, this should be proof positive that the PSP is in no way a failure and that if fantastic games are developed for and released on the handheld, sales will accumulate into a gigantic ball of Meteo-like proportions. Or was Meteo more of a Final Fantasy IV reference? Alas.

Of course it'll sell if fantastic games are made. The problem is that not enough are being made just yet.
is..is that legal?

I know people that already imported it lucky
I'll be picking a PSP up with this game next year when the English copy appears.
I guess I don't understand your question. Is what legal?
wow, i wonder how the sales here (north america) will compare to Japans when the game comes out???
I'm sure the Japanese will buy more because they're not just fans, but fanatics.
yeah and they get the sweet psp/FFVII:CC bundle *shakes fist*
Halojames doesn't like the PSP...

let's everyone try to contribute to the conversation and not simply create postings that say "I don't like this, this, or this."
