130,000 PSP-2000 units sold on first day in Japan |
Ó
With the help of Crisis Core's immense success, Sony's PSP-2000 (or PSP Slim) enjoyed an astounding 130,000 sales count on its first day in Japan. This is aside from the purchased 65,000 units of Square Enix's limited edition Crisis Core PSPs, which were released a week before the PSP-2000's actual launch.30 percent of those who bought the PSP-2000 also picked up the 1Seg tuner, which allows Japanese users to access the programs broadcasted through the 1Seg service.
Those living in the US and wishing to take advantage of the TV Tuner shouldn't keep their hopes up, and Sony's Phil Harrison explains why: because the service isn't supported in most parts of the US... yet. It's certainly a sunny day for Sony. More updates as they come!

FIRST POST MOFO's
Gotta love the censorship, and lack of freedom of speech that you propose for the comments on this.
I could have sworn that a comment section was for ALL comments, not just the comments that you agree with.
LOL, 130,000!? Awesome news, congrats Sony. :)
Are you referring to comment moderation? But we haven't taken down any comments for this post.
Sony should be able to save Play Station now.
maybe it's not possible for the US, for Germany and some other countries in europe it shouldn't be too hard.
For examble here in Germany we have DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial) nearly everywhere, a similar system like 1seg, and I'm sure some other countries have such a system also.
Most of the US has ATSC instead. It shouldn't be that hard to release a tuner that works with ATSC. They're just being lazy.
...but isn't 1seg a service designed specifically for use with mobile devices? In Europe, I think there's DVB-H for mobile. I'm not sure if the ATSC standard has a similar specification for mobile. If not, then an ATSC tuner device for the PSP would have to be able to do real-time resizing of broadcast content. While I'm sure the PSP's 333MHz processor can easily handle resizing of SDTV broadcasts, I doubt the same can be said for 1080i or 720p HDTV. Heck, even my 1GHz Athlon balks at the task.
An ATSC broadcast can contain multiple streams (example, KTLA5 & Tube Network in Los Angeles area). It would be nice if broadcasters make use of the other streams for distributing mobile content. If they did, then I think we'd soon be able to watch broadcast TV on our mobile devices.
