Japan PSP owners have definitely been lucky this year, they have “exclusive” titles like Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, Gundam Battle Universe, and Phantasy Star Portable. Japan PSP software and hardware sales have been leading the charts for weeks now. This week Phantasy Star Portable released and right now it’s the top-selling Amazon Japan game. We should get early insight on how this will go up against Soul Calibur(currently ranked 10 on Amazon Japan game), and its direct competition, Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G.
So the big question is: When will we see these games port to the U.S.? It’s still unclear and seeing that Monster hunter Portable 2nd G helped produce a increase of 60.1% of Capcom’s first quarter (April 1-June 30) sales, speculation is that Capcom will bring MHP 2nd G someway to the U.S. As for Phantasy Star Portable, again its still uncertain, but if it has success for weeks to come, that it’s already showing in the first couple days, ideas should be floating around for a U.S. version.
SEGA has already produced DLC for Phantasy Star Portable which can be accessed in the game, or on the official website.
