    "Territory" is commonly used to denote the regions of release which games are typically separated into - the big ones being Japan, the US, and the UK/Europe (sometimes the last two go together, sometimes not). I've seen it used in both English and American publications quite a bit, it's pretty much standard usage.

  2. Simple: The DS actually *is* smaller in RL by LKM · · Score: 3, Informative
    So how fucking big is the original DS anyway? And why did everybody claim the PSP was to large?

    Simple. I can fit a DS in my trouser pocket (barely, but I can, it's about the size of the original GBA). I can't fit a PSP in my trouser pocket (it's simply too long), especially if you consider that you need to add some screen cover or a bag or something to protect the otherwise unprotected screen.

    So a closed DS is quite a bit more compact than a PSP with a screen protector added.
