Phantasy Star Infinity is coming!

[STORM!]

 Someone has got the new release of the cheaper version of Phantasy Star Portable 2 for the PSP earlier than the official release date, and it had a surprise: you can use some part of the data played on PSP2 in the newest title PHANTASY STAR PORTABLE 2 INFINITY that is coming soon.

 No more info at now, but we are getting a new version of the game soon!!

PSP I presume? Boo.

So PSP Infinity is an upgrade, like a ver. 2? Here's hopinh PSO2 news is to come (360 and PS3 please).

And here's to hoping it won't involve paying 10 bucks a month.

Sounds like a upgrade game like the Monster Hunter games.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 saw a decrease in sales from the original.

Phantasy Star Portable
First Week: 349,455
Life Time: 636,973
(PSP The Best sold an additional 25,176)

Phantasy Star Portable 2
First Week: 284,883
Life Time: 580,726
(PSP2 The Best is released this week in Japan)

PSP1 is the 9th best selling game on the PSP in Japan and PSP2 is the 11th.

That's not bad, still a bti dissapointing though, especially when psp2 seems to be way better than it's predecessor. Maybe it needs time, with this infinite thing coming out it might build some interest.

PS: I have a lot of respect and appreciation for you all that keep up with these kind of stuff.

Well either way, it recored the biggest sales for any Phantasy Star game, the Dreamcast games in Japan did;

Phantasy Star Online
First Week: 80,666
Life Time: 185,543

Phantasy Star Online V. 2
First Week: 108,411
Life Time: 167,345

The series has never managed to break the 200,000 barrier in Japan, so either way the portable titles really made a big splash for SEGA. Another thing to note is that PSP2 still managed to outsell every release on Phantasy Star Online on the Xbox and GameCube combined in North America, so it's done extremely well in regards to the series' sales history, even if sales declined from Phantasy Star Portable.

PS: I have a lot of respect and appreciation for you all that keep up with these kind of stuff.

Heh thanks, at least I know someone out there apperciates my sales talk!

[Barry the Nomad]

PSO 10th logo plus the PSO2 registration are very good signs indeed!

This one has enemies from PSO. The green robot (from the Mines level) and the centaur thing (from the Ruins) to be exact.

What does the text above the mine enemy say? (asking any Japanese speakers) I have the feeling it is something about how Infinity will have some nods to PSO in celebration of the 10th anniversary.
