Also, the psp go is doing pretty pathetically right now! And nintendo are really losing quite a few sales to sony now aswell.

Thursday, February 3, 2011 at 5:02 PMAs cool as The Last Story looks, I really want to get the new Valkyria Chronicles. I wish the series didn’t move to PSP… I don’t want to have to buy one just for those 2 games…
The PS3 needs a PSP emulator. I’m more than willing to buy the games from the Playstation Store D:
