Peace Walker has only sold 52,000 copies in the US in four weeks. This only includes UMD sales and not PSN sales. I did my part and bought it. I thought this number would have been a lot higher than this.

I bought the PSP 3000 bundle for this, so I did my part as well. I think it shows the lack of interest in the PSP console as a whole rather than the production value of the game. MGS is a well-known name and always sells great, it is just being on the PSP the sales are hard to come by even if it is MGS.

Gamers need to get more friends!

Use those once useless sites like Facebook and Twitter and Myspace to spread the gaming goodness around, and let as much as A THOUSAND people know about great games!

Use your imagination people! You can't let great games with effort go to waste and then say WHY NO GAMES?!!

It's because PSP is unpopular. It's far more popular in Japan than in NA.

It's because tons of people pirate the crap out of new PSP games that are released. No surprise why the sales are so low.

The PSP is way more popular in Japan and over there you find a lot more variety in games plus the people doesn't pirate them like crazy. Piracy is the main problem with the PSP, people who are not accepting this are either in the pirate wagon or are covering it. Personally i am tempted to get a green PSP bundle but these kind of problems are holding me on doing so. I afraid of getting it and then hear the discontinuation of the platform. Where i live almost everyone on the streets and in college pirate the PSP games instead of buying them legally. Pirates should be detected when downloading and be charged the value of the game they are downloading. The funny thing is that many pirates download illegally the games just to say: HEY I HAVE 100 GAMES WITHOUT PAYING A CENT AND YOU ARE A SUCKER PAYING FOR THE ONES YOU HAVE; but in reality they download every crap game available the from those 100 they only finish one or two games compleately.

They waste most of their time finding and downloading..

Even if the PSP is discontinued, we still have all these amazing games. I think now with the GO being out only for downloading games, piracy will increase even further..

I don't think its necessarily a lack of interest in the PSP console as a whole; in all honesty the MGS-type games are not my cup of tea and I didn't buy the game for that very reason. I checked all the reviews, downloaded the demo to check the graphics/gameplay and was impressed with the production, but the bottom line is that if its a game I can't get into, I'm not gonna snag it. I'll be supporting games I'm willing to play through, of course :)
