how come there are no PlayStation Portable or Nintendo DS newsgroups? both
machines are now released in Japan, and the DS is also here in the U.S.
it's now time for their own newgroups.

You could propose them, but you would have to go through the proposal
procedures which can be time consuming and confusing. UK group has now been
created and I think it took a couple of weeks to do.

Why? There's not enough traffic in the groups to begin with to warrant the
new groups.

Regional groups *should* be propagated world-wide - they're meant for
discussion from a country's perspective, not for discussion from within a
country.
