It\'s interesting that the DS managed to outsell the PSP, perhaps Nintendo isn\'t as doomed as I thought.

If we weren\'t so close to the next generation, I might suggest to MS to start anonymously buying Xbox\'s in Japan.. just to make Japanese devs think it\'s a success.

Avatar, you quoted PS2\'s numbers, now PSP.

And perhaps Kirby was responsible for the DS Spike?

Avatar, read more carefully

Bobo!  I have read from several reviews that Kirby Touch is a very good game, but the increase in sales probably has more to do with the new colors of the system.

fuck! I think I\'m slowly developing down\'s syndrome.

to my comfort, bobo said noW instead of noT. >_<

Wait until the new Castlevania comes out for the DS, that is when DS sales will soar over PSP .

Are we comparing software or hardware sales here?
Dont forget that DS is cheaper

Judging by this week\'s sales numbers, the DS is doing better in both hardware and software.

That\'s a good excuse you got there. [read: not really]

Don\'t worry, I\'m not attacking your PSP.  My comment on the sales was more about the DS, despite being less powerful hardware and perhaps even gimmicky, is managing to do alright.

Don\'t forget about the special Pokemon edition DS.

Excuse?Attacking MY PSP?What is that supposed to mean?Dont get offended for nothing.There are people that want a PSP but the high price is discouraging.Whats so strange?Its still a very possible reason

offended?  

Dont forget that DS is cheaper

That was a defending arguement for the PSP on why the DS outsold it, no?

Attacking MY PSP?What is that supposed to mean?

Having read through the "PSP is out NA!" thread in the PSP forum I noticed that you, among others, have quite a admiration for the new handheld.  I also noticed an abscence of anything DS here, even in Console Debating,  so I naturally assumed a bias, however unintentional it may be.

Is it wrong to assume that the more technical and media capable device, save for touch gameplay, would justify the difference in cost?

So what exactly is the problem?

Why is liking the PSP such a bad thing?What if everyone was saying how satisfied they are about the DS in the other forums and a cheaper PSP was outselling the DS?
Its not my fault if you assumed a bias.
Does someone has to be biased to like the PSP while only the people that like the DS have the valid unbiased opinion?

edit:Its not my fault either if DS owners arent posting in the forums how satisfied they are with their DS and what they find unique about it.
