DChiuch 5,773 Posted February 8, 2011 Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep has been revealed to be the highest selling PlayStation Portable game of 2010. Based on sales in North America, according to the NPD Group, Birth by Sleep was able to sell over 300,000 copies, not including those in the PSP-3000 system bundles. This is even more impressive considering that Birth by Sleep made its North American debut over halfway through the year, releasing on September 7, 2010.

J. Severe 1,137 Posted February 8, 2011 Sigh... sadly I didn't contribute to those 300,000 units as I have yet to get Birth by Sleep. Hopefully, I'll get their 300,001st unit! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J. Severe 1,137 Posted February 9, 2011 Hey... now that I think of it... this might encourage Nomura to put BBSV2 on the regular PSP! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anti-SOLDIER 68 Posted February 9, 2011 wow, as awesome as it was i didn't think it would beat dissidia! pretty impressive Dissidia was sold in 2009. That's great news for BBS. I didn't think it would be the highest seller. ~.~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Exlon 165 Posted February 9, 2011 As I've said before, Sony should be very thankful to Square Enix. And if it weren't for KH, I'd have never bought a PS2 or a PSP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to be a smart ass, but companies don't get all the profits from a games sale. As far as I know, the store buys them in bulk, for a lower price, then sells them and keeps the 40 dollars or whatever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xinname 1 Posted February 11, 2011 It would be wise for square to make bbsv2 on the psp as well since the first one did so well. *crosses fingers* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to be a smart ass but you're both not being funny, did you basically say it costs SE money to sell their games? By your logic they made nothing or spent a fiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hatok 6,413 Posted February 11, 2011 It doesn't cost them money, they sell the game in bulk, and the store that sells them makes profit based on the difference between how much the games cost and their selling price. It's not like Square just gives stores a game, and the store sends them 40 dollars for each game sold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
