PSP outsells DS
« on: February 12, 2006, 12:49:03 PM »
Look it\'s a landslide!

A report from Media Create has shown that from January 30th to February 5th, the Sony PSP sold 25,905 units while the Nintendo DS sold only 25,321 units in the same week.

However, it still may not be game over for Nintendo as the new Nintendo DS Lite is expected to hit retail on March 2nd in Japan and may continue to boost sales.




Things are heating up.

The Survey says!

Gist:
65% of Japanese people plan to buy the DS lite, only 35% are not going to have the system when it comes out.  The Lite has convinced more than 35% of Japanese who didn\'t have the system to get one, and 27% plan to upgrade.

Well its not like they sold an incredible amount more. Still kinda cool though. Nintendo has been #1 for years and this is the first time they got beaten at their own game (in the handheld market).

The Nintendo DS has been selling very well throughout all of Europe over the past year. The DS has sold more than the Sony PSP in every major European market. In the U.K. the DS leads the PSP by over 205,000 units. In France the gap widens to 250,000 units. Nintendo\'s success also carries over to a combined 300,000 unit lead in Germany and Spain. And finally, the rest of Europe has purchased 505,000 more DS\'s than PSP\'s. The grand total of sales for Sony\'s PSP is 2,440,000. Meanwhile, the Nintendo DS has sold 3,700,000 units.

To be fair, it is worth mentioning that the Sony PSP was released a full six months after the Nintendo DS and at a higher price point.

To be honest, I would rather Nintendo dominate the handheld market the way Sony does the console market.  Nintendo gave me a chance to play the Game&Watch years ago when gaming was for nerds... now that it is cool Sony has suddenly decided to be part of the act.

I love my PSP, but I would rather see the DS succeed.

If we lost Nintendo then I would stop gaming.

Im not surprised. Iv played the PSP a bit, and iv only looked at DS but the graphics looked bad and the game(s) look pretty boring.

Not sure if PSP is a lot more expensive but id probably never buy a DS. Personally..im waiting for PSP2 MAYBE..not sure if ill ever buy a handheld thing unless im moving around.

Last "handheld" i had was lynx,haha. Anyone have one of those? Not the newer one..but the huge one that ate batteries like a bitch. (my brother had the gameboy)

PSP has better graphics and inferior games.

That\'s the gist of it.

Inferior battery life, massive machine, more expensive in both hardware and software. The only advantage PSP has over DS is licensed pornography. But with the Play Yan, you can bring all sorts of with you in your DS.

personally find psp a better machine, the ds is still doesn\'t interest me in the slightest.    
Nintendo must be feeling some kind of threat from sony to release a "DS Lite"  before the standard system has barely had a shelf life.  



Is pokemon on it yet?

Most of the people that don\'t have any interest in DS haven\'t played it for very long.

No offense, but it\'s the damned truth. I\'m not talking about just on these forums, either. Evil Avatar (the man that runs the site) started bashing it one day and then later stated "I played it for 2 minutes on a kiosk" ...

Not that the DS completely blows away the PSP. It doesn\'t. The PSP hardware is really something. It even has some retail games that knocked my socks off. Compare it as a gaming experience side-by-side with the DS, though, and the DS is clearly better.

The PSP may hit its stride yet.

I had a lynx with a bunch of games, got it for christmas ages ago.  I still have it buried in my house somewhere.  Xenophobe & Gates of Zendocon were the shit.
