People in the US and Europe described PSP and PSV as using Game Player, which is very easy to confuse.

The “Raiders” in the Japanese population need not be said. North American players often describe themselves as “Beat” (defeated) a game, while Lithuanian games have “kapoja” (cut), and the French will go to “Torcher “(Ignite) the game.
