Germans Love David Hasselhoff/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* In most major gaming regions, the Nintendo DS outsells the PSP. In the Philippines, it's the other way around, due to Sony already having a much bigger fanbase there than Nintendo due to PS1 and PS2 games, which use CDs and DVDs, respectively, being far easier to pirate than N64 cartridges or GameCube mini-discs (Never mind that Wii modding changed all that for GameCube games with its backwards compatibility), resulting in more affordable (yet pirated) copies which can easily be found and bought. Many a gamer who grew up in the 90s would fondly remember the "Players"-brand bootlegs sold at grey-market stalls and at one point even in established toy stores in malls. The PSP also enjoyed a larger mind share in the Philippines, and as what [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weTJxMivscQ one YouTuber can attest], it is more common to see Filipinos brandishing a PSP out in the open, and if there's anyone using a similarDS, it's mostly either small children or ''Pokemon'' fans. It is also said that pickpockets prefer stealing PSPs over Nintendo 3DSes due to the former's situationpopularity, exceptnot youto paymention realthat moneyit isn't uncommon for downloadsshade-tree cellphone repair shops to offer jailbreaking and sideloading services for PSP owners looking to play cheap games.

** Same in Poland. No one there owns a DS, you see kids with PSPs everywhere. Same in case of the [[Play StationPlayStation 3]]: More people own them than [[Xbox 360|Xbox 360s]]. Ironically, it is easier to pirate for the 360 than the PS3. So why is the PS3 popular? A. Its games are region-free to begin with and B. Microsoft '''will''' unleash the banhammer on your 360 for piracy. And you gotta have good luck to find a Wii owner, despite it being by far the easiest (and safest) 7th-gen console to pirate for.
