Is it just me or do the Sony Portables seem to attract the japanese game fans? Looking back at the list of PSP games I find an insane amount of great japanese games localized to the west that you would be pressed to find on other consoles. It's cheaper to make a PSP game than a full blown PS3 game, the install base is mostly core gamers (that pirate a lot yes but also buy a lot of what they really like) and, unlike Nintendo, Sony tends to be quite less strict with what allows on it's consoles.
